I don't know what to say about myself
If I were asleep right now, you'd be all I dream I'd feel your warmth through the covers, so it seems But right now, as you sit in the passenger seat Of my parked car, I can't help but feel deceit Emanate from your gaze, your smile, your laugh How can you look me in the eye and say, "It's all in the past?" True, I know you're not perfect, but nobody is And I've no intention of being a perfect kid But listen to me when I tell you that my love for you is hopeless Hopelessly enduring, endeavoring, embracing Whatever painful realizations I might be facing Whatever derailment I'll have to follow through Whatever ******* mistake I may or may not do I just wanted you to know you are my hopeless everything Even as you close the passenger door behind you And tune out my words with some Broken Social Scene As you throw a stone through my car window And as the glass pierces my elbow As you elude me in a fit of tears That I know I've brought out of you, my dear As I drive away in silence Consoling myself through musical compliance Now, as I lie here in bed, I can't help but crave you I combat your warmth with the rush of a drug My second white girl, my first being you And as I stare at the ceiling, I see the glow-in-the-dark stars That you and I placed, calling the ceiling light Mars I find that I miss you, darling, I miss you so much But how can you miss something that you could never touch? A someone who never really loved you much A someone who exists only in dreams Well, I don't know...I'm frightened it seems To wake up from this and return to my loneliness This is my life, I guess....

Hopeless Love
If I were asleep right now, you'd be all I dream I'd feel your warmth through the covers, so it seems But right now, as you sit in the passenger seat Of my parked car, I can't help but feel deceit Emanate from your gaze, your smile, your laugh How can you look me in the eye and say, "It's all in the past?" True, I know you're not perfect, but nobody is And I've no intention of being a perfect kid But listen to me when I tell you that my love for you is hopeless Hopelessly enduring, endeavoring, embracing Whatever painful realizations I might be facing Whatever derailment I'll have to follow through Whatever ******* mistake I may or may not do I just wanted you to know you are my hopeless everything Even as you close the passenger door behind you And tune out my words with some Broken Social Scene As you throw a stone through my car window And as the glass pierces my elbow As you elude me in a fit of tears That I know I've brought out of you, my dear As I drive away in silence Consoling myself through musical compliance Now, as I lie here in bed, I can't help but crave you I combat your warmth with the rush of a drug My second white girl, my first being you And as I stare at the ceiling, I see the glow-in-the-dark stars That you and I placed, calling the ceiling light Mars I find that I miss you, darling, I miss you so much But how can you miss something that you could never touch?

Hello, my dearest friend I just wanted you to know That I never wanted to go Do you remember when I spoke Japanese to your mom and dad How we talked and how we laughed And we wrote a message on the writing pad? Do you remember when We tried to watch Pulp Fiction When my head rested against your shoulder And our bodies lay in perfection? Do you remember when we ran Through those elementary halls And we stopped to catch our breath As our hearts were enthralled? I remember feeling blessed Just to see you every day And your guise reminds me of All the words I couldn't say Goodbye, my dearest friend I just wanted you to know My love for you will never end Sayōnara

さようなら
I think of you now How much happier you are Now that you've distanced yourself From me I hardly see you now How you smile more often Now that I'm nothing But a memory I wish to hold you again But I just now That will never be A reality I wanted to tell you Though we never kissed That I loved you Through thick and thin Did you ever see How much I cared When your dreams Seemed to shatter? Did you ever realize How much I loved you When our laughs would meet In a beautiful unison? Did you ever decide How much to hurt me When my words suddenly Meant nothing to you? I just can't seem to think You ever thought The same way About me

Did You Ever Realize??
You say you love me But your eyes scream hatred Your lips press against mine But your teeth bite back screams Your hands caress mine But your nails hide the blood drawn Your breast comforts mine But your heart burns with angst Your skin brushes mine But your flesh aches with depression So I’ll ask you once again “How was your day?"

Radiate
I want to be noticed in this skin For the person ready to burst from within I want to be recognized For the plans that I have finalized I want to be ******* remembered For the man that was once yours

Invisible
You used to be yourself But now you're someone else You used to be so happy But now you're blinded You used to be realistic But now you're counterfeit You used to be original But now you're plagiarized What happened?

Used To
I remember when you and I would talk About almost anything in the world I remember when you and I would laugh Between the jokes that we had told I remember when you and I would touch Against the skins of our imperfections I remember when you and I would kiss Beneath our sheer contemplation Never has a moment gone by Where I don't think of you Where my heart doesn't break for you Where my lips don't yearn for yours Never has a minute gone by Where I don't miss you Where my hands don't want yours Where my body doesn't feel yours Never has a second gone by Where I don't die for you Where my head doesn't ache for you Where my skin doesn't bleed for you But the pain that hurts the most Is knowing that you Probably don't spend a second Thinking about me

You
What comes from this feeling? This feeling of remorse, this feeling of hate, This feeling that I can't dictate. In a second, I feel my happiness leave As a rush of anger clouds my relief. In an hour, I feel my anger dissipate As a wave of sadness arrives to congregate. I don't even believe I have a personality For all I can tell is I am a breaking anomaly With emotions that stir like a hurricane And wrap around me like cellophane. What comes from this feeling? I do not know, but all I can say is I hope, one, day, I encounter true bliss.

Emotion
I find myself trying to speak The words I myself find to be meek Your presence brings a sense of happiness To a world full of ugliness Your life shines with fulfillment In a world with so little enjoyment These words I try to find Are formed in my mind But are never spoken For their formation hold naught but a token A token of appreciation For your reconciliation These words I try to find I hope to God are worthy of your time When all my words do to accomplish Are a sense of unworthy abolish To a rather revealing relation That was never a creation

Small Talk
What if I were a better friend to you? Would you still talk to me today Or would things remain the same? What if I were a better lover to you? Would you still be in my arms Or would you still have fallen for his charms? What if I were a better son to you? Would you still care for me Or would I be but a distant memory? What if I weren't alive? Would people miss my presence Or would people not even notice my absence? I just don't know...
