To pay her tribute, I carved her name in my thigh and welcomed the pain.

I am scared for my sister And I am scared for my brother The world isn't kind and we hurt one another I am scared for my brother And I am scared for my sister Scared since the first time that someone dismissed her I am scared for my sister And I am scared for my brother That some will teach him not to respect our mother I am scared for my brother And I am scared for my sister Scared that I will not trust those who have kissed her I am scared for my sister And I am scared for my brother I want them to be safer than many of the others I am scared for my brother And I am scared for my sister I am scared for them both, I think we all know why Thus I am making this oath, I will NOT just stand by

i'm so sorry i wasn't good enough i was a child, i wasn't ready, wasn't tough enough but i'm so sorry that i let you down you were innocent and young and i let you drown and i know that it's all different now you're growing up, you're strong, you made it through somehow but our bond it broke so easily and this necklace that i wear weighs on me heavily but i swear it will end differently i won't let you down again, won't let you go, won't let this get to me or to us

the necklace that i wear
There are only a few in this civilization, who can be the givers. Since the beginning, the time of our creation, many things have happened that would give you the shivers. We hold the bad things, we take away your pain, the horrible endings, that led to our gain. But someday we won't, we won't be able to take it, the weight of the lives, the lives that couldn't make it. We'll have fallen apart and couldn't even fake it, our bodies turned stone and none will ever break it.

Givers
People died today So what you may ask, people die every day But sometimes it's not about their death, it's about the way The way their lives were ended And it had nothing to do with what they did No, it didn't i swear, they just happened to be there And it couldn't have been prevented So people died today No they didn't just die, they were killed And we better remember this day, the innocent blood that was spilled And we better ******* learn from it.

Memorial
In a cottage near Tibet an old man in his bed   lies expecting that    which all of us will face     there's nothing on his mind      he's old and nearly blind       he leaves no one behind        a little more ahead         two figures lightly tread          then suddenly stop dead           and turn towards the shed            then             one walks towards the place              where the old man rests his face               on his old and washed out pillow case                         the figure step by step                 gets closer to the shed                  and then to the man's bed                   the old man turned his head                    to face the figure at his bed                                       "Finally..." he said.

the wait
You stretched your arm forward and held out your hand I tore out my heart gave it over and waited for you to tear it apart ._   ._   ._   But you took it and placed it on your sleeve although I hoped that maybe you could hide it in a safe and take care of it for me ._   ._   ._   And so there it stays my exposed, beating heart you wear it on your sleeve vulnerable  ._   ._   ._   and you take it with you whenever you leave.

you wear my heart on your sleeve
His name was Jamie Lee and in all my humble life he and only he always stuck by my side Whenever I felt alone I looked up at the sky a shiver ran through me, skin and bone when his ghostly hand held mine Only because of him I know the word love whenever my day was a little grim I could count on his tender smile to make me feel to make me feel more to make me feel more alive
