So much love, unrequited love
Nothing hurts me more

The sound of your voice makes my heart soar
Your face makes me beam with glory

When I'm with you all I want to do is sing my praises
But to you its nothing, you go through so many phases

I just want to adore you and love you the only way I know how
Seems to me , though, that its too late now

Hold me close again,
Don't tell me this is the end.

Alcohol on your breath,
How did we get into this mess?

The nicotine clings to my bed,
Just like the lies you said.

You took my fragile heart,
And filled it with your art.

The masterpiece of your lies,
Spoken right to my eyes.

Lie to me one last time,
Tell me it's all going to be fine.

Tell me have you had your fill?
Was I your cheap thrill?

Lie to me, tell me I'm the one,
Have you had your fun?

Throw me in the trash,
Where you keep your stash.

I'll join all the rest,
Since I failed your test.

Do you feel proud?
Do you see me, now?

You left me broken,
With the others, unspoken.

No, I won't shed a tear,
Now, all is clear.

You think you're a man,
But you'll never understand.

You'll never know love,
Nothing to speak of.

Now I'm the one who's sane,
Since I defaulted on your game.

My sheets still smell like you.
The nicotine clings to it like glue.

Still here, where you left this deep, gaping hole.
The poison of your lies, the poison of your soul.

Through your eyes, I spotted our demise.
Fake smile, fake words, everything is lies.

Faking everything just to get what you wanted,
Now I'm stuck here, feeling haunted.

One
We are all one,
Accept it or not.
Human beings are one,
Despite what you once thought.

Treat everyone the same,
Give them all what they deserve.
The truth is, what we all need is love,
Something everyone should be served.

Hate and intolerance is the easy way
Forgiveness is a much harder road
It is something not much thought about
Something that is not well-known.

Practice tolerance and you will be freed.
The peace is yours for the taking,
The fire inside you to be quelled.
A life of understanding is yours for the taking.

People let you down,
And people tear your heart out
The only thing in this world
You can rely on is your own clout

Come into this world alone
And death is the same
We are all here in this life together
So on whom can we place the blame?

Stop making one person everything
And letting them hold so much worth
Putting them on a pedestal
Is doomed to cause inevitable hurt

At one point in your life
You realize there is no one on which to rely
Time to face the painful truth
As you finally open your eyes

The only one you have is yourself
So learn to treat it right
No one can be relied upon to carry you
Through your inescapable plight.

Can I have a new body please
One that works
One to carry me throughout the day,
Without knowing constant hurt.

A heart that knows no sorrows,
Not mended up with tape.
One that feels love and joy,
Not one that is filled with hate.

A brand new stomach, fully functional
One that can digest
A gut that can take the burden of my suffering,
But now, I digress

A bladder that is of normal size
That doesn't keep me up at night
A bladder that isn't nothing but a pain
One that doesn't seek revenge just to spite

A brain that is fully functional
One that allows me to be at peace
One devoid of anxieties and fears
One that doesn't ruminate on the grief

If only my body was working,
The way it was meant to be.
I wouldn't be crying a river
Thinking that maybe it's me.
