She looks up to the mirrored glass She sees a handsome horse and rider pass She say, 'That man's gonna be my death 'Cause he's all I ever wanted in my life And I know he doesn't know my name And that all the girls are all the same to him But still I've got to get out of this place 'Cause I don't think I can face another night Where I'm half sick of shadows And I can't see the sky Everyone else can watch as the tide comes in So why can't I?

Shallot by Emilie Autumn
i want to shed my my skin to be rebirthed in some sense of worth Baptized in love rather than sinking into insignificance venting destructively or constructively Started gambling lightly.. emptying my pockets nightly.

You can love 1 You can love 2 But when you reach 3 It's a breach. You are alone again by default.. So who'll it be?

1 & 2
She complains of emptiness A draw of the blunt, rivers of liquor. Suppressed & oppressed "Can death come any quicker?" Half her soul down the drain Her noose; preferably a spiked chain.. Drowning in thoughts fighting last minute and now swimming to shore.. Washed up on land, attempting to stand But no longer can.. She sits up and sees a wave coming in Giving up and unable to rise Arms extended towards the sky Shutting her eyes Waiting for the tide to come in.. The end now begins.

What have you become?
Was it the attention? Or that you were always there? What you offered out of the rest of them just couldn't compare. When I could feel you slipping away, what did I do? I threatened to leave and betray you. Our love always came first.. I don't know how to do this without this hurting you... What will it take to make you stay? I don't want to wonder if it's temporary I'd rather just not go on living another day. I truly hate seeing this slowly pass away...

Shadow
In love and lonely My heart is at war, I can feel it closing. I’m drunk on these shadows and crossing oceans of wine for you. I’ll keep on pretending if our heaven’s worth waiting For you to be right here in my arms.

Please don't let it go
I believed it was best for me then I never said I wanted to leave But I did end up losing tug-o-war with darkness You haven't left me alone since Maybe you were aware of the turmoil I was going through Or perhaps it had been a coincidence And you needed me for your selfish desires? The burden of your ghostly presence does nothing but fill me with confusion Rather than desire you alone You are beautiful, and yet.. you mean nothing to me But even in you're meaningless existence that resides in my heart I feel less of a void And finally, I can say I feel at least something.. For someone.

Mixed Emotions
What has become of my energy that I can barely make use of the lonely pen on my bookshelf? Yet alone, reach for it.. Desperate I am to fill this empty notebook with lively, colorful words then throw in some esoteric sentences to compensate for the state of my spirit because I cannot do much for her.. Oh, my release.. if you only knew how much you meant to me yesterday. How I wish I had the strength.

That entire month, I thought about you My heart ran on empty with each mile driven Every border crossed separated us further than we have ever been The welcome signs made it worse. But regardless, I kept going..
