I'm dying.
I knew I was dying from the start.
I was reckless,
I knew I was dying so I took risks.
I took chances,
I knew I was dying so I didn't care.
I was heartless,
I knew I was dying so it didn't matter.
I was generous,
I knew I was dying so I gave my all.
I was living,
I knew I was dying so I did what I wanted.
I was falling,
I knew I was dying but I tripped and fell
and I happened to fall right into your arms.
you are the worst thing that's ever happened to me.
Because I knew I was dying,
but you made me want a little more time.
I feel more alone than ever
but Darling, you're not here.
You said you'd always be around
to catch accidental tears
and when my heart stops beating
you'll stand around my stone.
You'll say you always loved me.
You'll say I was your home.
I feel more alone than ever,
but my promise I will keep
'Cause I swore I'd always love you
even six feet under deep.
I hate when you text me at 3 a.m
when you've had too much to drink
because your mind is jumbled
and you can barely walk on your own
and its the only ******* time you think of me
If a heart breaks
and no one is around to hear it,
does it make a sound?

If you take that plane,
but I am not around to see it,
did you really leave?
I heard of the beauty there
of the colored hair
and future freaks.
I heard of ballerinas in the streets
and boys like you
trying to find themselves.
You reckon you'll get lonely there?
I'd break my piggy bank
if it showed you I cared
We can travel the city
with six strings on our backs,
acting like we're not scared.
Even though we're scared as hell.
I could step on New York City
and scrape it on a beach
and that's where I'll find you.
next to the circus tents,
stands the main attraction
“Balancing act of the broken boy”
standing there is you
alone and afraid
holding on to dignity and pride
self-worth and meaning
talent and potential
******* and lies,

but not me.

Everything but me.
might add more, might not
I'm not going to tell you there is no God.
But, I AM going to let you in on a little secret.
God believes in the faithful.
God stopped believing in me,
the exact moment I stopped believing in him.
I was 6 years old.
Nobody told me much about God.
just to pray every night
and thank him for what you have got.
I called out for him to make it okay again,
and he returned my calls with silence and dialtones.
I wish I knew then
what I know now.
God is not a wish granting factory.
I wish someone had told me sooner
As I stood there My heart began sing
And I wondered why it didn't sting?

You looked inside the house
And said something, I was literally doused.

Then I heard him, His anguished screams
I ran towards the house, as my tears became streams.

Then you put your hand out, Causing me to freeze
I started to scream, but all I could do was scream PLEASE!!

You moved so Gracefully
I started thinking Hopefully.

I heard his screams,
And the tears continued to stream.

You stopped in front of me, And bent down and whispered
How much do you love thee?

I said I would die for him, Try for him, Cry for him
I would even give up my soul for him

That's when I realized, this whole thing was game!
A  sick and twisted game to make me tame!

Your body transformed, into something so foul.
I'm pretty sure my face was the ugliest Scowl.

I looked at you and screamed "You ***** liar!
Of course that was a mistake cause all you said was
*"Well *** what did you expect from the devil?"

do not date a girl
who writes.
she will internalize
everything,
carve poems
into your eyelashes
instead of
kissing them,

she will analyze you,
calculate age
from the rings
your coffee cup
leaves
instead of refilling it.

she will memorize
the way your
lips curl around steam,
but not that you
take it
two sugars,
no cream.

she will read your
palm instead of
holding it
against her chest.

she will not
blink
when you leave,
because she is
already
romanticizing it.
When I look behind me I see your glorious face,
But when I go to talk to you, you disappear without a trace.

You sit outside on my window top,
So Opened it to talk to you, but you went pop!

You sent me words of wisdom,
When I wanted to ask more you simply wanted freedom.

When I was down on my knees,
I wonder if you even heard my pleas?

Mystic Angle I've seen you,
I know you've seen me too.

Why won't you come to me?
I've seen you go to thee.

Mystic Angel I only want help
So why do you make me yelp?

I guess it takes time,
But be warned you will be Mine!
