Afraid someone will break you
You end up breaking yourself
There's no way they'll break through
The wall you build up to protect yourself

You put yourself on a high up thrown
You think it will keep you safe
Then you slowly break yourself down  
And try to carry the weight of grief

Let it go
Unbuild your wall
Or you'll never grow
Trust someone, for once to catch you when you fall

I am the Ice Queen-
Hardening others' souls.
When I'm not hurting others,
I shiver in my own cold.

I am the Ice Queen-
Ruining hopes and dreams.
When I'm not making others cry,
You can hear my screams.
The stars seem to curse me this sorrowful night
They scold my blind sight
For I never foresaw a turn of events
I read the signs but did not know what they meant

The moon seems to share my tears
and this sorrow seems to simmer into slow burning fears
Ones that incinerate my heart
To a pile of ash left spread apart

This pain is one for a muses tale
A cliche among the weak and frail
Ones that break like me
From things that I never see

It hit me like a wave of awful despair
But these tears where hidden from their stares
For my love is my weakness
It is my own kryptonite

Sometimes in being the hero
you become the villain
When you've been overlooked so many times
Your sanity steps out of line

And your heart takes the leap
into darkness
Age old words
Pain without love
Killings by sword
Hell from above

Be Lonely

Loneliness is nothing more than the condition of being alive
So be lonely
When the entire universe has its back turned to you,
Be lonely
Let the world know you are human
Feel.
And feel more deeply than you ever imagined you could
Embrace the loneliness
It isn't killing you
It is creating you

to be blonde and skinny-
that is all i really need.
if i was blonde and skinny,
id have the boys on their knees.
my personality is fine
and my humor is fair
but if you arent skinny and blonde,
the boys just dont care.

"Two broken people can't be together" because they've both seen enough hurt to make a nun commit suicide and they've taken enough pills to **** everyone in their broken families and they've cried enough tears to fill all the bottles of whiskey they downed in sorrow. "Two broken people can't be together" because someone's got to remember to do the laundry and call your best friend and feed the dog. "Two broken people can't be together" because being in love isn't about being the one to hold the gun while you pull the trigger, it's about being the one to kiss your neck in a warm bed at 3 in the morning because those nightmares still jolt you awake every night.  But who better to console you than one who's seen the same things you have?
I don't know anything and I hate this
