Waiting wanting falling fading
Loving living dying hating
Eating leaving starving staying

Backwards on life, twisted in death
Can't even fall for fear of a step
Lost in thoughts I cannot find
Can't realise I'm losing my mind
Spending all time on things too small
Losing my grip on importance of all

Cannot forget

Cannot erase

Chasing regret

I quicken the pace
Living in the past,  I try to wake up.
Reality is just too fast, it's left me in the dust.
Living in a dream between waking and asleep,
But never actually waking up.
Life isn't what it seems
I know that I am wasting time.
That much is clear to me.
But I can't get out of this,
I'm blind and cannot see.
Living in a dream between waking and asleep.
But I'm still not waking up.
Please...
Just let me be.
I wrote this back when i was 14.
I thought i would grow out of it, but i never have.
there is something invisible
that lives inside us both.

"Why don't you ask for help
If you know you're not alright?"

Because we all know what happens
To cornered dogs who bite
Girl, your stunning personality
Takes my breath away
Beautiful and gorgeous
You are the sunshine each day
So gentle and pure
Tender and true
Your sophistication
Brings out the highlights in you

I've been happy.
That was nice.
I've been angry.
I didn't much care for that.
I've been in love.
That one is exhilarating.
I've been betrayed.
That felt familiar.
I've been hurt.
This one never left.
I've been excited.
It's like a first kiss.
I've been disappointed.
So I avoid people.
Nowadays I'm apathetic.
It has no highs or lows.
I wonder though.
About the other ones.
What they feel like?
