There's a time
And place for hope
And this
Isn't it

I wish you could trust
In my love for you
Without me
Having to
Prove it
Every
Sec
on
d

We hurt ourselves
To distract our hearts

I'm not quite certain
if it's working anymore

You’re strangely endearing in a way

Please
Don’t
Lie
To
M
E

Trust me
Villains aren't all that bad
We just do bad things
For good causes

The saddest thing
That can happen
To someone

Is for them
To be so used
To being hated

That they come
To hate
Being loved

You have spent your life
Walking through the darkness
So you should be able
To spot even a speck of light
It's a shame
That you shut your eyes

How can you
Expect me to breathe

When your presence
Permeates the air around me

Why do you
Try to make it
Hard for me
To love you?

Do you think
Twisting the way
To your heart
Will deter me?

I think not

In a world
Where only a few decades ago
Race divided nations
And gender decided
Who we become
And now still
Beauty is held supreme
And depression
Is found to be weak
Can one really ever hope
That our species
Will ever get along?

When he saw her
Hair sopping wet
And matted against
Her face in strands

Eyes strewn shut
As her head
Tilted towards
The rainy sky

And as their
Eyes locked
He could see
The pain in them

He did something
He promised
Never to do again
He hugged her

The key to a relationship.
Is communication.
Right?

So then I guess.
That it was.
All my fault.

My fault.
That I get choked up.
Unable to speak.

My fault.
That tears clog my eyes.
And I begin to shake.

And you said to me,
"Just talk to me
Please."

They tell me I'm gaining too much weight
Maybe they're right
My shoulders do feel really heavy

You have not been yourself lately.
I don't know who I'm talking to.
Things have changed.
You have changed.
When did you.
Get so distant?
And so sad?
Were you.
This way.
All.
Along?
Was it all.
A lie, a mask.
To hide the pain?
I just want you to know.
That even though you're not you.
I am willing to take a chance and risk.
My heart being broken again and again.
If in the end it means that you will be okay.












Okay?
