One day you will find love

You might find it in the smile of a friendly passerby

You might find it in the lonely stare of cold eyes

You might find it where you thought no one went but you

You might find it in your best friend

You might find it in the middle of the school hall

You may find it where you never expected it to be at all
Or you might find it where you always knew it would be

No matter what you will find it eventually

But be careful
Because if you don't you may lose it forever
Never to feel it again

BRING ME HOME
I scream into nothing
For the words will not leave
My vocal chords
Because not even I know what I mean

BRING ME A HOME
I beg the shadows that I see
When out alone at night
For I cannot beg a person
To give me that light

Home
Is all I beg for
Home
Is all I cry for
Home
Is all I long for
Home
HOme
HOMe
HOME

BRING ME HOME

But where is home
Or better yet

What is a home?

Is a home something I'll ever get?

You feel like I home
But I need something permanent
Or maybe just your arms
Around my body
Surrounding me
Until I'm buried

But no
You're not a home
You're a life
You're my life

So where (what) is home?

I'm breathless
And aching
And cracking
And breaking
As I beg and I claw
My way to a place
That I don't even understand
That I don't even think
I will ever reach

There is no home for me
With a burning fire
And a warm bed
And a happy setting

There is only an abandoned
Cold
Empty
House
With floorboards exposing nails
And windowsills that leave you splintered

There is only an abandoned house
With no blankets but the clawing
Lonely thoughts

There is only a house
But not even
For a house would still give shelter
And this place only leaves you

Nothing
For you were nothing
From the day you were born

Abandoned from the second you breathed

Nothing
Nothing
NOTHING

I am yours
Even though I have escaped

I am yours
Because you still control my life

I am yours
Because youre always there in my mind

I am yours
Because somehow you place yourself in the other people around me

I am yours
Because she still tells you all about me

I am yours
Because you still know where I am and could 'visit' me any time

I am yours
Because you still hold power over me

I AM NOT YOURS
Yet you still control every aspect of who I'm trying to be

You say you will try
Next time

But then
That next time comes
And what do you do?

You disregard the words you spoke
Then once again
I get upset
And once again
You say
Next time

But really
What does next time mean?

Does next time really mean never?
Because you have been telling me
Next time
Forever

But I still hold on to you
And this false hope
That next time
It'll be true

But hey
Now I'm mad
And now I'm sad
I tell you
And what do you do?

You say you will try to be better
You tell me sorry
Sorry for what?
Sorry for being a bad boyfriend

I forgive you
You say you'll try
And you ask me not to leave you like last time
Hoping there won't be a next time

But for all those nextimes of false hope
I give you the next time
You wouldn't give me

To me he's the stars
He adds brightness to my life

He's the moon

He's the light when all I see is dark

He's the rainbow after the rain

He's the sun on a cloudy day

He's like a storm

His mood can change in a flash

He can be happy
He can be sad
He can be mad

He can be annoyed
Jealous
Hurt
Lonely
And so much more
And like a storm he can feel all of those in just one day

He can be like a storm
But he can also be like snowfall on Christmas day

He can make you feel emotions you can't explain
And he can be peaceful

But he can also make you feel like you're drowning if he decides you're not the one

His love is like a stormy ocean
It's fun to be on
But once it gets rough
It can tear you apart

If you survive the storm though it can be lovely
But it can all change in a flask
Like it never even happened

When he looks at me with those soft eyes of his I melt and I just wanna curl up into his arms
And tell him to never let me go

When he holds my hand it's like suddenly there's electricity coursing through me
And I start to shake
So I feel the need to let go
Before my emotions get out of control

When his lips that feel indescribably soft touch mine
Everything around me just dissapears
And all my fears
Bad thoughts
And doubt dissapear
Like they weren't there to begin with

When the word "I love you" leave his lips it's like the soft sound of light rain on the roof
That soothes you to sleep at night
