Just close your eyes
And try not to cry
Cause tomorrow will bring
Another try at life
It's not over yet
So don't loose your grip
Just hang on tight
We'll make it to the end

Yawns
Sighs
Sleepy sounds
Crickets chirping
All around
Frogs singing
Just for us
Was it really
Not enough ?

You've painted a picture
Inside my lids
A beautiful caricature
Like the ones when we were kids
The longer I look
The more I see
And now I'm hooked
On vibrant scenes
Every time I close my eyes
I'm wrapped up in spring's delight
And colors that I've never seen
Life's just been a black and white dream
But now I see a spectrum of light
My thoughts are like bees taking off in flight
I've forgotten the world as I knew it before
With all these colors and sights to adore
You'll never know how perfect you are
Pristinely aligned like twinkling stars
I reach through space to hold your hand
Over Venus and asteroid bands
My heart breaks into shards of light
Burning up, glowing bright

I want someone to love me
But I don't deserve to be happy
I'm so, so lonely
But I don't deserve your loving

Starting projects
I'll never finish
New interest
Now diminished
They say it's the depression
That makes it this way
Or maybe it might be
Just the age

A shooting star
Moved through the sky
It was gone
In the blink of an eye
But I didn't blink
I kept my eyes wide
I'll never let go
I'll never say goodbye

And those ****** songs
They'll have meaning again
And they won't remind me
Of when we were friends
And I'll make new memories
To their tune
I promise I won't think about
Me and You

I try to speak but can only whisper
When I close my eyes I see you with her
The noise in my head is so loud
In their screams I seemingly drown
It seems even my own mind is no longer my refuge
Even my own world has been tainted with you
My memories are like a storm that just won't pass
And I sit around waiting for it to let up at last
And it gives me time to think about everything that I did wrong
It gives me time to think about why you're gone
I'll never be good enough no matter what I do
So what's the use, thinking of you?
Truth is I just can't get you off my mind
I know this excessive musing is simply a waste of time
But I'll just sit a little bit longer
'Till the storm lets up, and my tears have dried

I want to get lost
In your garden
Forever
Where things are okay
Where there's perfect weather
Canopy trees
Shelter me
In the grass
Life teems
Untouched and raw
Completely wild
I'll drift away
All the while
The world goes on
Beyond the trees
My thoughts at rest
My mind at ease
Leaves cast shadows
That dance on the ground
My ears are drenched
In the sweet sound
Of birds singing
Wind chimes ringing
Squirrels scurrying
Our soft laughter
Who knew
Such a perfect place
Could exist
Why can't life
Always be like this?

All around I see happy faces
Of course everybody has troubles
To live is to suffer
But in that very moment,
Their faces radiate light like the sun itself
They reflect each other's happiness like mirrors
But when it shines onto me, it doesn't reflect
I'm not a mirror
Instead, I'm a void
I absorb the happiness
And turn it into despair
Maybe I recycle their emotion, and manifest it into the people that live in my head. Maybe that's why my world is so satisfying. It never ceases to amaze me. As I learn new things about the "real world", mine grows. Maybe that's why this world seems to be falling apart. People are dismantling it, and adding pieces to the worlds in their heads. Maybe one by one we'll all disappear into our own little worlds, and this life won't be "real life" anymore.

Life dangled from your fingertips
Death in your palm
I couldn't help but grab your hand
I knew it was wrong

Parched throat
Dry lips
Skin stretched
Over bony hips
Prominent collarbones
Sunken in eyes
Irises the color
Of Pennsylvania skies
Atop her shoulders
Rests her head
She's very much alive
But looks so dead
Her breath escapes
In shallow pants
Her slender fingers
Comparable to spiders
Crawl over her hair
Of black, silky webs
Effortlessly perfect
Yet endlessly hurting
You'll always be worth it
So don't you worry
Beauty truly is
A burden of it's own
Beauty can't survive
Being alone  
The unlovely
Make beauty
Beautiful

And what hurts me the most is that
Out of all the things I couldn't do
I couldn't even be enough for you

I'm a mess
And you're okay
Maybe I'll forget
About all this someday

Tonight let's not talk about me
Tonight let's not talk about you
Tonight let's not talk about all the things
That we've put each other through

I'm weary of hearing my own voice
Though I'll never be weary of yours
But tonight let's talk in a different way
Let's talk without using words

Write a song along my skin
In fluttering fingertips its written in
To be with you once again
Is to drown in a sea of sin

Tonight let's not talk
I have nothing else to say
But please just be silent with me
Please just stay
