i'll keep a compass tattooed on my
forearm so that i'll always know how to
find my way home, and if that needle points to you
when we settle for the night,

i won't question it.
not yet, but soon
the rain will come.

like an elephant
down the mountain,
you will hear her first
then you will witness
her true strength.
fresh morning dew drop,
suspended like a planet,
appeared over night,
There's no remedy for a broken heart..

Just keep smiling,
even though it hurts like hell.

She cuts for the
times she can't ever
replace.
She cuts for the
love he'll never
return.
She cuts to know
what it's like to be

Failure is a haunting fear
but fear itself is worse.
A deceitful ghost
like the closed door

keyless

now a wall.
