Mr Blu came to visit me today. He wrapped me in pain, cradled me with sorrow and told me not to wait till tomorrow It is time he said. He told me to follow his lead Count to three And not to look back There’s nothing left here for me but pain He said with him I’ll be free Free like birds flying in the summer breeze Oh Mr Blu, you do make a good offer I could play with the other lost kids all winter and summer Just a second I’ll be there in a few Just need to pack a thing or two

That time of year is upon us Longer nights, shorter days Sky full of grey and gloom **** I miss the sunshine Fur coats and winter boots The wind mightier than Zeus **** I miss the sunshine Couples unite for a cosy winter night But Where is my sunshine

Winter
when a poet falls in love with you you can never die they will notice the way you rub your palms and look down when someone is angry at you and the way you smirk as you pull away from a kiss they will notice how you can't sleep without your body touching someone else's how you never crease any pages of books and how you close your eyes when you dance in your kitchen with your record player on they will find all of the words that they see you as and turn them into something beautiful people say you die twice once when you stop breathing and when someone says your name for the last time if you fall in love with a poet they will never stop mentioning your name you will be alive for eternity

fall in love with a poet
The piano played a beautiful tune for her, But she couldn't hear it. The brushes coloured an empty canvas for her, But she couldn't see it. The bees made delicious honey for her, But she couldn't taste it. The flowers scented heavenly for her, But she couldn't smell it. The birds made a soft dress with their feathers for her, But she couldn't feel it. How could she? When the world tortured her, Till she was dead inside.

For her
I'm tired. Tired of everything. I just want to sleep, And never wake up again. No, I'm not lazy, I'm not running away from life. I'm just tired of the world and myself, And too tired to change anything.

Tired
Do you want to hear all the why's You are the one that told all the lies Thinking that you would get by Good try The other guy Bragging That you would never tell him bye Never looking me in the eye All the things you had to justify Letting it intensify Never being satisfied Putting me on standby Leaving me high an dry Always wondering where you were Asking myself, why The rules of love You never applied Only when you were high Would  you drop by All my questions You denied With more lies I became the fall guy Do not cry Wipe your eyes I stopped turning a blind eye Its Good bye !!

Do not cry
the first time we met he touched his lips to mine and I allowed it im afraid of him because he thinks about me too often I know I should consider myself lucky to have someone so smitten with me but I can't help feeling suffocated I can't get enough air but im too scared to tell him no because I don't want to see him hurt and I'm no longer sure what my love is worth

Him
When your heart feels heavy: 1. Sit down in silence 2. Take off your shoulders 3. Hear your bones crack 4. Let your eyes breathe 5. Whisper to your heart, it's home.

When your heart feels heavy
hey mom, lately I haven't been okay don't you see as you look me in the eye everyday? the circles under my eyes are a little too deep although nowadays all that I do is sleep mom, last month, someone at school tried suicide downing a bottle of paracetamol as he cried I wanted to tell you about him, 'cause now he's dead, but I remembered some of the things that you said when the other day you were at the drug store you heard someone overdosed on paracetamol you laughed then you said, "why hold back at all? why not drink poison? that'll work for sure!" mom, I looked it up, it only takes fifteen tablets fifteen of paracetamol and it'll send me straight to a casket mom, what if I were that overdosing teen? if I take only fourteen, would you tell me the same thing? mom, I've been starving myself - I hardly eat I don't know how I'm still managing on my feet that's fine anyway, you told me I should go on a diet so go on and tell me that I'm fat, I'll just keep quiet hey mom, my arms are lined up with slits but you're worried about if my clothes still fit so I'll keep my mouth shut, I won't make things bigger maybe if I tell my friends I'll feel a little better mom, everyone keeps telling me I'm depressed that I've got all these emotions inside me supressed I only listen to you, mom, and I ignore the rest after all, doesn't the saying go "mother knows best"? mom, if I wanted to die, what would you do? 'cause if I tell you, I feel like you'd just say, "me, too!" don't worry, mom, if I'm suddenly gone one day I've learned to hate myself because of you anyway mom, everyday is becoming a little too tough I'm just holding on 'til I can cut deep enough maybe it would be a nice surprise for me and you if killing myself is something I finally do.

Have you ever felt the feeling of love? The one you can't describe. The feeling that you would do anything for them. The feeling of upsetting them kills you inside. The feeling of being away from them for minute is like a life time. The feeling of caring so much for them you don't care for your self anymore. The moment your not around them you crave, There love There affection There attention There sense There heart beat. When all you physically & emotionally want is them? I Have
