i have never loved
only lusted
but by god
the day i love
is the day my soul
catches on fire

Patience
stress sweats
through my pores
over-heating
my fragile flesh.
pain stabs
my spine
ever more
to make sure
the wound
remains fresh.
shaky, shallow
troubled within
searching for comfort
in my own skin.
your smoke
makes me choke;
watching you waste
yourself away.
no ones ever
made it this far
dealing with me
and all my pain.
i know its selfish
to ask you to stay
but your presence
washes my fear away.
please wait with me
until were both okay

i'm needy, i'm restless
don't know where my head is
got bruises and whiplash
every move's got a backlash
i can't tell you, i'm thinking
i'm constantly sinking
on the edge, see your face
but things just aren't the same

despair fills her heavy heart
she stands alone
beaten and afraid
empty and abandoned
no one beside her
no one to guide her
she'll walk alone

There may never be a knight on
A white horse.
Never a castle hidden far away.
Never hear the sound of little
Feet running around.
Never being Beautiful, smart, or
Rich..learning to live with those.
Why dream of things when
They could never happen anyways..
Lower expectations keep the fear and
Pain from defeating me

i still remember how luminous
and full of life your eyes were the first time i stared into them.
and i remember how i couldn't help but want to figure you out every time you smiled and glanced at me.
god, i wanted to know you.
i needed to know you.
but i guess that's why they say
*anything forbidden, we desire.

How long did it take to paint the mask
To hide away those years of pain
It must have been a horrible task
While staring at the falling rain

The shouting loud and all the lies
You a brave soldier, hiding this
Watching as inside she dies
The sister now you only miss

I wish that I had been right there
To comfort as you silently scream
But now you know I'll always be here
If you need someone on who you'll lean

I'm sorry if it makes you upset
To think about the way it was
The thought of that awful threat
But I know you can because

I will always be your friend
And you know you can count on me
A long way past the very end
And I promise that if you need me
Here is where I'll always be
