Walking along a path yet
*I am so very lost
Katlyn Orthman Mar 2013
Stains are like scars they only fade
They're proof of a mess from the past that you made
It sits there staring up at you
Toying and taunting to see what you'll do
And they keeping adding up
They never go away
They just sit their watching
Begging to stay
Making you cry a little bit longer
These stains have never made me feel stronger
Everytime I see a reminder of you
Every time you try to come back
You've been gone so long
I've made on without you
These stains have ruined the whole rug
Might as well throw that out too

You make me want to be someone better
You give me reasons to smile
Sometimes I think you deserve more
Before I think that this is worth it all
You can take my heart, please take my soul
Because without you I would never be whole
I've fallen into the cracks that spelt out love
A feeling so overpowering it rang above
I think I'd die without you
I finally realize what it feels like to give in your all
I'm giving you my everything
Please don't leave
I just might die
I'm listening to our song
And as I listen to the lyrics I cry
Because I finally understand why it's ours
I finally realize why your mine

The sunlight of the fading day melted
Breaking off into a starry sky
Sometimes I wish I could disappear
Into nothing but the stars
So bright and beautiful
So beautiful

There's someone else inside of me
Alone in there I hear it breathe
It's me, but a different side you see
It awakens and destroys the weak

Eyes open to the purest red
All the innocence gone its fled
Full of rebillious thoughts in my head
The old me could be gone and dead

It laughs it breaks it taunts
It takes it steals it wants
Beware of it, it haunts
Just give in to it

Torn by the ***** of thorns
Surrounding my garden bed
I sleep here, and silently mourn
My soul that has been dead

I weep into my dirtied hands
Stained by the blood of my own heart
I know that no one will truly understand
The pain of which I wish to part

My tears are black just like my soul
They smear across my face
Inside I knew I'd never been whole
Used words and meaningless things in its place

This emptiness inside, will there ever be a cure?
I used to sit up at night and wonder
There was no way I could ever be sure
In all my ignorance I'd blundered

Because beyond the pain and the tears
I looked right past your face
You where standing there defeating my fears
And it was you who would fill that place

I owe my heart to you
My angle
I owe my life to you too
Because in the end it was your love that filled
My empty soul in the end

Inside your embrace
I feel at home
Looking at your face
I finally stopped feeling alone
I can finally breathe without the pain
I can feel my heart being repaired
I can love you without shame
Knowing you love me back, that we share
Listening to our wild plans as we grow older
To live a life we can only dream
But I told her
That nothing is as hard as it seems
Just pull away the fear
Take a step into the light
Keep close what you hold dear
And never give up the fight
We can be who we want to be
We can live a dream, make it reality
We can overcome the dark that thrashes like an angry sea
Turn simple things into beauty
We just have to try
