Ranita Dec 2023
Hazy reminiscing
We were kissing
Something missing
I can't remember
What it
Feels like

Any

More

It was just a dream
But here's the thing
I'm pretty sure
That I will die
Without a man
Calling me pretty

Late

At night
I wish this was a song.
Ranita Dec 2023
Am I really trying to see
The best that I can be
Or am I just restless
Waiting for the end of me
Ranita Dec 2023
Wake me up before I die
What will happen to me if I sleep all my days
Change will never come without your touch
Your fingertips and your sweet embrace
Come to me darling
Let me feather my fingers in your hair
From a different time.
Ranita Dec 2023
Paint the clouds red
I’ll enjoy the drive
Hair trapped in my glasses
Pretending you’re with me
Tendrils of thought
Escaping my grasp
I fixed my car
The music is blaring
Hold my hand
Nobody cares
Grinning ear to ear
Quietly existing
Ranita Dec 2023
Why is it
That all feelings
Leave me feeling
Either
Attached
Or
Detached
And none leave me
Free
Ranita Dec 2023
It's getting really hard to meditate
On what's good and holy
When all the songs I hear
Are filled with lyrics about doubts and fear
Like being down in the dumps
And people pleasers
I need a how to
On being meek and quiet
With a heart that identifies
With what isn't true
I wanna be loud
I want to scream
How else will I get it out of me
Ranita Dec 2023
I desperately need to scream
Feel myself breathe again
Claw this parasite out of me
Tear what’s left to shreds

I want to say
That I’d give up my soul
Just to be needed
But that isn’t true


Is it
But also a little too real
