Anyway
Maybe flowers grow with time
What's happening?
You alright?
How did you sleep?
because the "sleep" I had didn't even touch the sides
Time heals?
That's obviously a lie
It's stood still since you left,
and you'll never understand why
I could lay here all day
To try and recover the sleep that was lost
My laundry is piling up
Waiting to be washed
With every kiss
With every shred of love we made
No matter the cost
If my kids should ask me who I loved most one day
I shall speak your name
What are you battling?
You alright?
How did you sleep?
Okay, I'll stop asking
These habits are hard to break when you're on my mind
Screw how this feels
Maybe flowers grow in time
I've got a reminder of you in the middle of my chest,
and you'll never understand why
I could lay here all day
To try and recover the sleep that was lost
My laundry is piling up
Waiting to be washed
With every kiss
With every shred of love that we made
If my kids should ask me why my true love couldn't stay
I'll tell them "I will always love her anyway"

Vocal & my relationship to publishing traditionally
Ever since my small writing beginnings, when I started writing on Vocal in February 2021, I had been in a truly terrible slump & funk when it came to my writing. I had so many unfinished projects, ideas, half finished manuscripts and first chapters that were going nowhere.
