I wake up early and go to sleep late, just to live a little longer but afraid that when I'm sleeping is when I feel the most alive.
to my darling who feels she's not: our separation is mere illusion. truly, your pain strikes me as i write this; your sensations of abandonment, and the decisiveness they have caused, bleed from my skin into the fibers of my clothes. i am no longer clean. i do not feel pure. to my severed arm and shortened tendons: destruction is merely another side of life. out of disappearance comes all things- without space, there would be nothing to contain us, nothing to allow and enfold our beings' spirits, and they would sputter and cease like my love's flame. i am no longer yours. i do not feel full. to the farthest star that my eyes can see: your light reaches me- i glimpse you! in the perceived emptiness between us there is no distance to be found; around us exists the infinite potential for further connection and deeper growth in closeness. i am no longer alone. i do not feel sorrow.

separation is just an illusion
Pathetic but true, I've tried to teach you, the layers my mind can convey. The naive that you choose, for you'll surely lose, the lies will catch up any day. You study my face, knowing he's in your place, though persistent you stand your ground. I'll hide like a coward, my fears they have towered, I'm only with you because he's not around. Yet still I need your affection, a soul without any direction, don't pity my empty plea. You're surely enough, yet my conviction is rough, and I only love you because you love me.

I only love you because you love me
I press my face into my hands and watch my life slip through my fingers But it doesn't rain for me anymore and I can't sleep because the thunder, it wakes me And the lightning blinds my eyes therefore not allowing me to see exactly whats lays in front of me There is no hope, no chance for me I lost my last opportunity Everyone yells, and shouts at me yet my fate dies, along with dreams No chance with you but that was something I could foresee   No friends to talk to and there is no one that I need Love no longer exists within me for it hurts too much But I'd die for the sight of you, and one single touch... But it doesn't rain for me anymore, and I can't sleep because the thunder, it wakes me...

It Wakes Me
I know we have a job to do. Said the Sun to his friend the moon. But we deserve to feel love too, And how I wish to hold you soon. We're worlds apart and you barely know me, But I have watched you white and bright. And I truly feel, if you'd but show me, What it is to fill my heart with light. For when you are out the people dance. The lovers will whisper in their bed. When I am shining they don't stand a chance! They work to die, they bury their dead. Oh my love, la Luna, why do you hide? Don't you know I long to see your face? I'll wait for you to come around, be by my side. To rush you out, I fear, is not my place.
