Your love rains down                                        from the shower head. Sharp needles of fire                                                                                   dousing cold feet.                                    It feels like daggers,                                                and wouldn't be so, if I hadn't lingered for so long, in my frigid hesitancy.

Cold Feet
You cry as the blade slides across your skin. Your heart aches, you feel lost, you feel alone, you‘re drowning. You can see everyone around you breathing. This feeling of pain, of sorrow, of self— hatred, its an agonizing pain. I know how you feel, I feel it too. My smile is fake, my heart is gone, I feel like there‘s nothing left. I'm tired of feeling this way, I know you are too. But I'm holding on, Im staying strong, I need you to listen when I say, you can make it through this. Please don't cry you may be broken but you‘re still alive. Just keep moving on, put down that knife. Hide the bottle live your life. You are worth something, I am too. I'm here to help.. don't push me away don't be afraid sooner or later your scars will fade. Life will get better, this is just the beginning. So lift your head up and look at the sky.. reach for the stars don't say goodbye.

Reach for the stars ✨
I constructed a piano, out of dead leaves and pine needles Frail it was, pitiful it looked But I played it without shame, as most as I could To create sounds, to my desolate landscape And for a moment Break away, the chains of the lonely sin

Piano of Pine Needles and Dead Leaves
As the seasons change, the leaves fall. They slowly become a memory of that beautiful spring we had together. I stand alone now, looking at the sunset..   So much time has passed by without you. Every second i'm wondering.. "where are you now?" You're probably off on Broadway, dancing and singing your way through life.. Or maybe you've even become an Author, expressing your thoughts in the most wonderful way you ever could.   If you're wondering about me, I'm still stuck in this town.. Searching for answers.. Trying to find my own path. When did we fall apart? Can you tell me that? Maybe it was when the first leaf broke it's way off from its fragile branch at the beginning of fall..  Or was it when you told me you had found someone new? What happened to all those times when I said "I love you" or when you told me "I want to marry you"? I didn't know loving someone meant falling apart.. Now I'm left here wondering.. Where are you now?

Where are you now?
1 pill 2 pills 3 pills 4 pills How many more till I can't feel? Maybe 5? Possibly 10? Who knows.. 1 cut 2 cuts 3 cuts 4 cuts How long till I drift away? After 5 cuts? Maybe 6? Probably 10 but who knows? Who knows the pain? Who knows the self hatred? Who knows what it feels like to want to die? I know, but why haven't I let go? I can't let go of my hopes, my dreams, my family. I can't leave them behind to deal with the pain.. I can't let them feel the way I do. I've tried getting help, the pills don't work. Hours of therapy and where am I? I'm still stuck here.. Drowning in my sorrows Feeling sorry for myself.. How long till I get better? Who knows..

Who knows?
I'm not exactly broken, just a little torn.. See i'm just as perfect as a rose thorn I'm not exactly in love but I love you And I know a fraction of you, Loves too It's just this Life thing, gets in the way Of everything I want to, convey So if you'll listen, Here's a list of, reasons why I'm willing to give my book, A rewrite.. Some days, i'll get it wrong And i'll come on way too strong.. Everyone's a fool, with words Though my actions may be weak I'll now listen when you speak Everyone's a child, until 18.. And when your 18th birthday comes You'll spend it with that someone.. In my eyes, everyone resembles an Ed Sheeran song.. So you'll always be my favourite 'Photograph', Whenever I look back.. Everybody feels your warmth.. ...Someday we'll meet again With new loves and new best friends Life can't help it, if our souls were meant to part.. But i'll hold on 'til the end And learn to make amends.. Every now and then, We'll have to break a heart.

Everybody breaks a heart..
Your true love is someone who you won't be able to live without. Well ever since you've been gone, I can't really say that I've been living.

True Love
Unconditional I have my heart on my sleeve. But you've got it on a leash. The rhythms playing in my untamed soul. You strum them out, So beautiful, The echoes. *I live to see the light each day. Unknown to me though,* You are my light. You illuminate my way. Unconditional. Now I know. The love I have for you is real Unconditional. That love, that love which I feel.

Unconditional
You could illuminate as bright as the North Star but you're settling for a shine as insignificant as a street light in a crowded city.
