By the time you read this,
It’s already too late.
It’s all turned to ash
Consumed by our hate.

He was my Robin Hood,
My man of the knight.
Took me in as family,
Came to me each night.

Our ignorance was bliss,
We tried to save with a kiss.
Got lost in selfishness
Who the hell are we to blame for this?

In time, he dropped my hand like stone,
With a smirk so sly
I was alone.
He pushed and pulled me every way,
Some things you never have to say.

I lost myself, I lost my mind,
We circled death a thousand times.
He lit the match that started it all
Did he really think the mighty wouldn’t fall?

As flames pierced through my skin so dry,
I had nothing left to do but cry.
My life went up in a flash of eye,
I watched as our love burn alive.
The smoke rose up into the sky,
It danced along one last time,
Before we said our last goodbye.

I’m not sure
when I’ll be able
to look in the mirror again.
Whenever I see my reflection,
I want to shed my own skin.

I let someone touch me
who didn’t really care.
I tried to protect myself,
but there’s snakes everywhere.

They slide into your mind
and shower you with love,
wrap themselves around you,
then suffocate you with their hug.

They eat you alive
until nothing is left.
They were cold blooded all along,
they just move on to the next.

Pink and purple skies
every breath feels too tight.
The last thing I ever wanted
was to say goodbye.
It doesn’t feel right.

I’m starting to feel
like a bruise again.
Every move hurts.
In public, I don’t want
to be seen.
And the sun has become
too bright for me.

Clear thinking feels
like a distant memory
gone so fast,
will it ever come back?

I’m forcing myself
to see my purpose
in a world
that doesn’t have any.

Dreaming of being had,
even if only by one.
I promise,
that would be plenty.

It was nice,
but I’m ready to go.
To go grow.
To go learn all I can learn,
and know all I can know.
To hold more hands,
give even biggers hugs.
To share more of my precious love.

I find myself
only wanting to think about you.
When I walked the streets tonight,
I wonder if youre under the same moon.

I go to my favorite place
and dream of your face.
We both run wild in my head,
twisted in the sheets of my bed.

Where we lay in silence,
Wrapped in each others skin.
I think about you never having to leave,
I sit around to dream of pretend.

Where we get lost in each others eyes,
A place where the sun doesn’t rise.
A place for only me and you,
A place I go when you’re gone too soon.

Sometimes I wonder if anyone who has ever touched me
Actually cares
I always find myself over explaining,
Being met with cold stares.
At 3 am they always walk out and go.
The loneliest nights are Saturdays,
When everyone I know is home.

I hate when people tell me
I talk too much.
I send too many text
And they can’t keep up.

At first they like it
Because it feels nice.
I help distract them
From their life.
But then it becomes old
And I get in the way.
Just another day
And I have too much
To say.
