Lost here in the city on a colorless night I can’t feel the things that I keep inside of me You know I need it I should try to call you but there’s nothing left to say Maybe what it was, wasn’t something to save There’s nothing to say And I’m waiting, waiting You said you were taking me home And I’m waiting, waiting You can only live so much on your own How do ones we love turn into strangers and ghosts? How do I hold on when you’re letting me go now? You know I need you Have another drink because it’s in my blood Maybe I believe that I’m too hard to love I’m too hard to love Take me to the light, I’m waiting Take me to the light, take me home Take me to the light I’ll be here waiting for you

Take me to the light
Why didn't you choose me? Why did you leave when I needed you most? Is that what love does... it runs away, it's absent in the times it is needed most of all...? I thought love was supposed to stay, and stay... but love always goes away.

My Dear Love
My love, my dearest. My thirst for you is never quenched. My longing for your touch, always persists. My hunger for your love, is never satisfied. I need you! I am an addict. From the first kiss I was hooked. A high that I reach, every time our lips meet. The first touch of your hand, I was under your command. The warmth of your body against mine, warms my soul. I will not ever let you go. I am an addict. You are my love, my obsession. You are the other half of me. You are the happy, when I am sad. You are the best part of me. I am an addict. You are the addiction, that I will always have. You are the only person I want to spend eternity with. My addiction for you is pure. Yes I am an addict. But you're a habit that my heart will not ever quit. You are the love of a lifetime and thank God you are mine ❤ My love for you will not ever rest. My love for you will not ever die. My love for you is eternal. My love will take a bullet for you and still press on.

My love, I am an addict.
I've been up for days, trying to find a way to write this confession down for what I've done, I am not proud but there's no need to pretend, no need for innocence just got to be honest now The verdict has come in, it says I'm guilty for these sins of mine i thought I could escape, but then I finally felt the weight, of all your crimes it's passion, it's not love, infatuation never ends up right Ten thousand times I have screamed over and over for you to notice me until my voice breaks for all this heartache to gently fade away Where are the pictures, of you and me? put aside for no one else to see afraid of what they might say but if my heart breaks at least I still have your yesterday Not everything said should be heard some things should stay buried in the dirt and when there is no target for your anger could it be that you're the one who is hurt? So many pointless conversations about who's right or wrong, you or me every mirror it hides a different reflection and we both got faces that we don't like to see But I'll try to find some shelter in this quiet beauty of a silent night when the sun has finally set and pray this worry will finally leave my mind where it's just me and this pale moonlight When I think of fates worse than death all I can think of is something you once said we were golden, bright like the sun and now I am stranded knowing I was never truly the one With an ocean of anger flowing through me blood-stained and broken from what I failed to see that just like a snake charmer you led me astray now I'm living in distress just hoping some help is on it's way In the midst of this storm searching for shelter i came upon one single feather and made a half-hearted wish for something better all the while being gracefully cursed i thirst Burned into these ashes and soil i'm dyed-in-the-wool there's iron in my blood, yet i'm still so vulnerable but after I'm truly gone, and once my heart finally leaves you will be left alone to the wolves and real thieves.

So let's face it, this was never what you wanted But I know that it's fun to pretend Now blank stares and empty threats Are all we have They're all we have left So drown me, if you can Or we could just have conversation And I fall, I fall, I falter I find you before I drift away Now you still speak of day old hate Though your whole world has gone up in flames And isn't it great to find that you're really worth nothing And how safe it is to feel fake The things we do just to stay alive The things we do just to keep ourselves alive

Old Hate
You are where I want to be You're my best friend The one who knows me better than me You've always had this way of looking past the mess that is me Into my heart, my soul, you see infinity I never see judgement or fear in your eyes I see compassion and kindness The longing I feel, your patience I see You have and would wait eternities for me Ever familiar, forever home Never wavering faith, strong The solid ground to my constant shifting sands Arms that feel like home, like they won't ever let me go Fingertips play me like a piano Hands so strong and powerful, yet touch me soft as an angel Lips that kiss life back into my spirit A tongue that speaks no evil or lies And a smile like the most beautiful sunrise

My Sunshine
In the morning when I wake And the sun is coming through, You fill my lungs with sweetness, And you fill my head with you Shall I write it in a letter? Shall I try to get it down? You fill my head with pieces Of a song I can't get out Can I be close to you? Can I take it to a morning Where the fields are painted gold And the trees are filled with memories Of the feelings never told? When the evening pulls the sun down, And the day is almost through, The whole world it is sleeping, But my world is you

You
They say, People don't change unless they have a reason, And I wanted so badly to be your reason.

A reason to change
Recalled your fears, now they become tears, remember I once needed you Sweet emptiness of love It's a crime to take all the treasures that I've kept The lock to my chest now is broken A hypnotizing stain that drifted between our souls and melts away An extraordinary color Brought by cold metal on skin It's the sweetest emptiness of love A bitter poison is everything that I've become And every single tear I owned has run dry on this face Now that you are gone I lived enough to know all the reasons why I felt the end coming Made a deal with death And it gives me happy memories of you that turn into amazing horrors Drains my strength and breath There is nothing to find, nothing behind, only the ashes of me and you And some cold rain drops wash us from the floor Through these eyes the world gives me pain Knowing the sadness, all the lies and the gain that we share Something my touch gives to your soul, I know you're here, it's not that you love me but of what you fear Without me you're nothing, you're just one in a million Wait everyday inside this black cage Hope doesn't seem to fade away Tomorrow brings the same again I'm a mirror reflecting your soul The way you like to see it It's not really there As that little boy cries, I cry as well Strange complexity of torture and madness my awareness brings to me As i tried to reach you I could grab only air I reached out for the end Don't you ever go outside afraid of what is waiting You said "the world is so cruel sweet baby and I'm the one you can call for help" but you know that's not the answer 'Cause you're lost and so afraid right now you feel the anger coming, and now who will you blame? Who do you hurt now? Because you are always bleeding Don't you ever wonder why the streets look dark and dangerous And your room is getting smaller everyday, inch by inch its your daily torture, you don't seem to be able to live by yourself From pervert eyes amazing sights, wipe your tears and light a smile You are ready to come outside and breathe some life Feel some flesh, and stop hiding, now you know how to deal with this and stop crying, these are the last tears you wept and now they run down another's face Shattered by rain, shrouded by thoughts on a runaway train Seeking shelter from the storm and from the pain Another empty glass, another line, another friend, yet no sight or track, you can’t find your way back and your flame grows colder as the night is over Now you’re lost for following your heart It guided you so far and you don’t know where you are, cause, baby, now you’re lost Holding you head up high but the mirror can’t lie, it shows tears in your eyes Sadness blurs your sight, like ether numbs your mind If I only knew what you’d get yourself into... I wish I could Wish I was able to save you And your flame grows colder as the night is over, open the door to a dream Ran the playground, found a maze you dared to enter, took a deep breath, we were just friends holding hands Walk deeper into the green, ignore the colors as they fade The world grows larger as you shrink, you turn around and no one’s there...

Sweet Emptiness Of Love
