When sleep eludes me
My mind bears its soul
To the guardian moon
Shining bright and whole

Tendrils of her light
Reach out to caress me
A silent witness
To my struggle for serenity

When the darkness calls like a siren
And stokes the embers of my fears
The moons sweet embrace
Gently dries my tears

Weak she is not
Tho delicate she seems
She fights my loneliness
With her piercing beams

She patiently waits
For sleep to descend
forever standing guard
As my tireless friend

Your eyes hold me captive
Your arms hold me steady
I'm falling in love
I've fallen already
I give you my heart
I give you breath
I give you my kisses
Till we're parted in death
I thought I was alive
How wrong I had been
You opened my eyes
And made me see again
If this is how it feels
When two become one
Then I give you my all
Until my life is done

You're the peanut to my butter
And the toast to my jam
You love me with my faults
You know who I really am

You're the Hershey to my kiss
And the bumble to my bee
When I am around you
I feel comfortable and free

You're the star to my burst
And milk to my cookie
How much do I love you?
More than Han loves his Wookie!

You're the flip to my flop
And the she to my nannigans
Crap, I wrote myself in a corner
What rhymes with that?.....
Mannequins!!

Rhyming skills aside
You're the best part of me
I'll always be right by your side
From here to eternity.

I couldn't breathe
   I tried to scream
Silent tears
   A horrible dream

You covered my face
   And held me down
I couldn't move
   No help around

I was too small
   Your hands too strong
What did I do
   That was so wrong???

So I just cried
   Wishing you'd leave
Alone in the dark
   I couldn't breathe...

I'm suffocating.
I want to claw my way out of my skin
Not caring how ****** and torn I'd be, for I am that already
A shredded corpse disguised as whole
Mimicking the beat from a counterfeit heart.

I'm imploding.
Being pulverized by crushing defeat
Innocence vanquished and forgotten
A casualty of immense desolation.

I'm disintegrating
Vanishing from existence
Evaporating from memory
Until all that remains is.......

I'm not afraid of the darkness
For only in the dark can one truly see the light.
Our eyes will adjust to see the stars painted in the sky at night.
Im not afraid of sleep
For through sleep the body gets a chance to heal.
Reducing the aches and pains imperfection forces us to feel.
So don't feel grief if I slumber awhile
For I shall awake refreshed and new.
Do not feel alone for you don't have to wait long before I come back to you.
Don't shed any tears for I am not lost forever
My story has not ended I'm just on a different chapter.
I fought a good fight and ran a good race all thats happened is I just finished a little faster.

Your claws are out you rip and tear
You beat me down till I'm not there
You slash and stab without a thought
You aim your words just like a shot
You spew out hate assigning blame
You live to threaten, blind, and maim.

You wont let me grow you won't let me live
Guilt and shame are all you give
You chain me down till I can't breathe
Knowing I'm too weak to leave
You've stripped me bare, removed my soul
Cut me open and swallowed me whole.

You insult with lies until I'm deaf
Steal my joy till I have none left
I've tried to scream, I've tried to hide
So many times I've wish I died
Death would be better than this hell I allow
If I wasn't a coward id be there right now.
