The raindrops fall and splash with sound
I watch out my window as they hit the ground
The sky's are grey, behind the clouds they're blue
The sun might not shine, but in my sight is you
And that's enough for me
That's all I need to see
Your eyes sparkle in the light
The color blinds me its so bright
Like the reflection off the sea
Like the lovely salty breeze
Just stay, and the weather won't matter
Katlyn Orthman Mar 2013
The night slightly hushed by the nocturnal lullaby
The ground wet from the remains of rain
The slanted hills that roll along the land
I sleep there with eyes wide open
I weep to the flowers that drop their heads in pity
I weep to the grass that ebbs in the breeze
A death of someone close, so close to me
That death was me
I died
And now I've lost my way home
Stuck between the world I knew and the one I learn
The girl I used to be
A phantom in a frosted mirror
Asleep inside this imposter
Chained inside a disguise
A nightmare all to real
The trees bow before my tears
The songs grow louder
Crescendoing
Until I lay still
Katlyn Orthman Mar 2013
Clouds form in the untouched skies
Rain falls as the angles cry
Tormenting those below
There's no sun, it won't show
Disbelief and dispair
Grey winds through brown hair
Broken grounds all littered by tears
Twisted trees all soaked in fear
Goodbye, goodbye summer haze
Say goodbye to them days
The cold snow and thunder storms
I'll miss the days when it was warm

Are there monsters under the bed?
Is this the terror they shed?
Will they rip out your heart?
Tear you apart?
Or eat your flesh instead?

Are there monsters under the bed?
Is this a trap that you've been lead?  
Will they make you scream?
Or is this a dream?
Or simply crack open your head?

Are there monsters under the bed?
Or is it just us eating away
Could it be our monsters are us?
At the end of each day?

In the deep of the forest
There lays a cave
No man, no women
Came out of that grave
They say evil lurks
Beyond the drench and the smell
They say that cave
Is the gateway to hell
Cocky adittudes and ignorant smirks
Never lasted long
Every turn every step
Could be the wrong
I stepped foot in that cave
And lost the other
The evil there
Is evils mother
So heed my word
Don't go in on dare
Because you will die
By the hands of evil there

In this cold forest
Where I roam
The thick coverage billows
For a moment I feel at home
No worries, no stress
No tears to fall today
This cold that lurks inside
I hope it dies today
There's no whispers in my head
There's no pain inside
Maybe today ill show my skin
And I won't have to hide

Just breathe
As you sob
Just breathe
And lift your head
Bury the pain
Don't fall again
Don't bleed to feel sane
Keep faith
Even if your not ok
Smile and wait
It will go away
Like the monsters beneath the bed
This pain is in your head
You have to let it go
Even if dosent feel right
Even if your heart fights
Just breathe
It'll keep you alive
