In a few short days, I’ll be leaving you, Without a trace, And it will be for the better. When you are reading this, In a few short days, I will have left you And it has been for the better. When you stay up through the night Clutching this letter, remember That a few short days ago I left, for the better. When you throw this away, The pain now so faint That you no longer feel it’s sting, You will know that those few short days, They were for the better. They will be for the better. They have been for the better. They always will be for the better.

A Few Short Days (For The Better)

In a few short days, I’ll be leaving you, Without a trace, And it will be for the better. When you are reading this, In a few short days, I will have left you And it has been for the better. When you stay up through the night Clutching this letter, remember That a few short days ago I left, for the better. When you throw this away, The pain now so faint That you no longer feel it’s sting, You will know that those few short days, They were for the better. They will be for the better. They have been for the better. They always will be for the better.

I never used to have to remind myself To breathe In, out, in, out But I do now My chest never used to be tight all the time Remember to breathe It whispers to me And I do now I never used to cry Once a day For a weeks at a time But I do now I do now I do now I do now When will it become I don't have to

I Do Now

I never used to have to remind myself To breathe In, out, in, out But I do now My chest never used to be tight all the time Remember to breathe It whispers to me And I do now I never used to cry Once a day For a weeks at a time But I do now I do now I do now I do now When will it become I don't have to

The heart on my wrist It used to be a bright blue But every time I kiss someone new The heart on my wrist Will shrink and fade And one day I fear It will forever fade into my skin The heart on my wrist Is the only reason That I can see the faces Of those whose lips have met yours The heart on my wrist Allows me to see their eyes When my tongue dances With yours and we dance around lies The heart on my wrist Feels the pain that hides In the corners of your heart And makes me to cry your tears The heart on my wrist It gives you a piece of me That I cannot afford to lose But it’s too late for that now

The Heart On My Wrist

The heart on my wrist It used to be a bright blue But every time I kiss someone new The heart on my wrist Will shrink and fade And one day I fear It will forever fade into my skin The heart on my wrist Is the only reason That I can see the faces Of those whose lips have met yours The heart on my wrist Allows me to see their eyes When my tongue dances With yours and we dance around lies The heart on my wrist Feels the pain that hides In the corners of your heart And makes me to cry your tears The heart on my wrist It gives you a piece of me That I cannot afford to lose But it’s too late for that now

Three years later you still dance on the edges of my memories Your eyes sparkling, your teeth still showing through that charming smile on your face. Three years later I haven't forgotten the demons that live behind your eyes and the snake that lives in that cage, guarded by porcelain bars. Three years later and you still pull on my heart strings. You make me feel uncomfortable, scared, wrong You are everything you shouldn't be. Three years later I beg you to leave every day Three years later you never do.

Three Years Later

Three years later you still dance on the edges of my memories Your eyes sparkling, your teeth still showing through that charming smile on your face. Three years later I haven't forgotten the demons that live behind your eyes and the snake that lives in that cage, guarded by porcelain bars. Three years later and you still pull on my heart strings. You make me feel uncomfortable, scared, wrong You are everything you shouldn't be. Three years later I beg you to leave every day Three years later you never do.

Can I wash it away? His scent and stain using my tears and pain Will it ever escape my brain Maybe one day I can escape the scars that are left on my brain and mar the eyes once filled with stars I can only pray That soon my screams Will melt from my dreams Like your fingernails ripped my seams Will it wash away? The bruises on the edges of my heart The passion of the embrace was lovely, in part But passion turned to hatred and I fell apart Will it ever wash away? I often hope it the pain will stay so I won’t live another day longing to lay with a face that will never wash away

Wash It Away

Can I wash it away? His scent and stain using my tears and pain Will it ever escape my brain Maybe one day I can escape the scars that are left on my brain and mar the eyes once filled with stars I can only pray That soon my screams Will melt from my dreams Like your fingernails ripped my seams Will it wash away? The bruises on the edges of my heart The passion of the embrace was lovely, in part But passion turned to hatred and I fell apart Will it ever wash away? I often hope it the pain will stay so I won’t live another day longing to lay with a face that will never wash away

Why do I always want to photograph The flowers when they aren't in bloom Why do I always crave the Suns heat When all that's out is the moon The same goes for you When you are here it's like I barely care But if you're there I need you here with me And why is it that when I'm far from you You are close to me And when I finally am next to you Your mind is overseas With some man you met When you were away from me I just want us to lock eyes And feel our heartbeats rise I want to be endlessly entangled with you But that can never be If you are close when I'm far And I'm no where near when you're here So maybe if we break our fingers We won't have to feel the passion in our hands embrace And maybe if we stop sleeping with hope in our hearts We won't wake to miss the taste The taste of what we were And what we want to be But what we will never be Is who we were

You

Why do I always want to photograph The flowers when they aren't in bloom Why do I always crave the Suns heat When all that's out is the moon The same goes for you When you are here it's like I barely care But if you're there I need you here with me And why is it that when I'm far from you You are close to me And when I finally am next to you Your mind is overseas With some man you met When you were away from me I just want us to lock eyes And feel our heartbeats rise I want to be endlessly entangled with you But that can never be If you are close when I'm far And I'm no where near when you're here So maybe if we break our fingers We won't have to feel the passion in our hands embrace And maybe if we stop sleeping with hope in our hearts We won't wake to miss the taste The taste of what we were And what we want to be But what we will never be Is who we were

Frail Thoughts Fragile Person I can feel pain Flowing between my ears I can feel pain Settling into my eyes I can feel pain Escaping my eyes I can feel pain Rolling down my cheeks Frail Thoughts Fragile Person Strong Words Broken Person I can feel pain Flowing between my ears I can feel pain In the back of my throat I can feel pain Rolling off my tongue I can see pain Entering their ears Strong Words Broken Person
