my hands would like to thank your hands
for the time we were drunk out of our minds
but your hands knew enough
to hold, not grab
to hold, not push
to hold,
and hold on.

my hands would like to thank your hands
for being constants, not variables.
for having a thermostat so perfect,
holding hands is like entering
a fire-warmed cabin
after a snowstorm -
and you’re the only light around for miles.

but most importantly,
my hands
would like to thank your hands
for keeping other things from my hands;
things that shouldn’t be found in hands,
like the last cigarette
or a sharp pointy object -

and the last time
it was desperation that
got the better of me;

and not your hands.
Stone cold silence
Is all I hear
Stilling numbness
Is all I feel
Pitch black
Is all I see
I walk forward
Yet going backwards
Moments I should smile
I'm empty
Not needed
Depleted
Defeated
I'm surrounded
But all alone
sad feelings

Wish i am strong enough by this time.
Wish i had the courage to face him later.
Wish that i could hug him tight by the time that i saw him.
Wish i could kiss him again.
Wish i could reach out and grab him and feel his arms around me again.
Wish i could share another day with him and share the laughter again.
Wish i can smell his armpit and feet.
Wish i could say i love him endlessly.
Wish i am not craving for him anymore.
Wish i am not crying at night wanting him to just appear in front of me.
Wish i am not crying on the bathroom floor begging God to bring him back.
Wish that i had him not only in my dreams so that i would not want sleep so much cos i know that dream is the simplest way for me to feel him again.
Wish the gets-inside-you-and-rips-you-apart game is not that strong.
Wish i didn't wished these last Wednesday wishes.

Its nights like this I try to hide
the pieces of you still left inside.
Its nights like this I try to fight
Images of you still in sight

So as the water hits and tears fall
Il convince myself not to call.
When this pain is too much to bare
It would just be easier if you didn't care.

Its nights like this I close my eyes
and relive that one told lie.
Its nights like this I hate you most
for leaving me with your ghost.

So now I stare into space
picturing myself in that place
That day your blue eyes stopped time
unfortunately our love was a crime.

Its nights like this I miss you so
I wish I didn't let you go
Its nights like this I love you most
when all I want is to hold you close.

Nightmares and dreams coincidence where I enjoy the hate I receive and dissuade the love that's given to me.

rain tapping hard against my window
heart tapping light against my chest
it is so easy to feel lonely at nighttime
while all the world seems to be asleep
or in someone's arms
maybe at night it is like you are the last person alive
and the rain is trying to talk to you

i can't sleep because of you
i can't make sense without you
I can't sleep...
As the clock goes tick tock,
My brain can't seem to turn off,
The sun is down,
But I'm up,
Wondering…
Thinking, pondering, dreaming,
All that crazy fun stuff about finals and what not,
And I think of you,
What will become of us,
Yeah I know thats far into the distance,
If we even last that long…
But honey I can't stop worrying,
Thats what I'm best at,
And the acid travels back into my chest,
Heart burn,
And I'm wide awake, in pain, hoping that tomorrow will get better,
I just wanna stop thinking,
Just go to sleep and let the dreams in,

Four o'clock in the morning
Is the worst time
To be missing you

But I am
You make me dream all day
And won't let me sleep at night
Oh what is this
This is not love I know
But everything about you is just right
