I watch you pace back and forth
in your apartment,
grasping at faded memories
and moments long since forgotten

You collapse on the couch
with a heavy hearted sigh
you fidget and fiddle
as you wonder where I am

I always lived like this
keeping a suitable distance
it's almost comical to think my afterlife
would be the same

I wish I could move on
but I can't seem to let go of you
I can't bare the thought of leaving you
here all alone

but I know I have to,
it's for your own good.
I move closer to you
and kiss your forehead

within an instant
I begin to fade
I know you'll be okay,
but I'll never forget you...

Victimize

Victimize, yourself

                Tantalize, everyone else

                                                  Agonize, her

                                                                Moralize, you try

                                                                                 Critisize, they do

                                                                                                       Apologize, can't you?

Anger

I can feel it pulse
rush through my veins

like acid
it burns through me

this surge of power
this wave
of red heat

it gives me strength
I shouldn't have

Effort

you're too busy

                                          it doesn't matter

I'm not worth the effort

                                                                        it takes two
too make this friendship  work

                                                                              why am I the only one trying?

Scream

I want to scream
          just to let it out
this mass of feeling
                           not sad
not happy
                        just there
in my chest
                 making me *choke

Fireworks

there you go again
knocking me off my feet
with a single blow
I crumble

the scene replays in my head
going over everything that was left unsaid
just like the times before
and the times that will follow

like setting off a box of fireworks
right inside my head
silently my mind explodes
just because you smiled

Speak Now

sneaking in was easy
seeing you was the hard part

I saw her standing there, in her white marshmallow dress
then you beside her in your tuxedo, looking as if you've seen a ghost

the preacher began to speak
my hands began to shake

"speak now, or forever hold your peace"
either way, this would not be peaceful

I showed myself,
wearing that black dress you knew so well

proclaiming loudly "I do!"
as your eyes found mine
they silently screamed
"I do too."
