I've lost my sense of happiness I've lost my point in life As I stare upon my phone screen Not a single message lights And I cry and I cry Dont stop me From attempting to fill this void I smile and I smile Dont fault me For letting myself be destroyed I'm alone right now Watching it all pass me by As people change and move on I stand idoly to the side Its tearing me apart Demon clawing at my soul Dragging me down into the abyss Buried deep below These chains tightening Its harder to breath Don't try and save me Its pointless as I have the key Its comforting these shackles As at least I have a place I belong When the world around give me no purpose Its me that has to somehow live on Even when all the friends I have leave And I've been beaten and deceived I've always been alone There is no one I can trust A mere passing fancy blinded by lust And it appears to me I've grown too reliant On the birds that perch upon my window Keeping me company but only for awhile Before flying away back into the sky Where they belong Unlike the caged bird with her wings clipped off Singing softly to those who listen while the owner merely sits back and watch In the cage she is happy As she knows no other life Unlike the free birds Who know how to fly

I found you. Different. Imperfect. A sad and sickly child alone in a faceless world. Bland with naïve thoughts and clumsy manners. I found you. Alike. Perfect.

Imperfection
You mind your steps    after you've stumbled. You miss your home    after you’ve left it. You value your health    after you’ve been sick. But you can’t enjoy life    after you died.

No Reset
you terrify me because i know that in years to come when i am finally happy and settled down, you will come along, and i wont even second guess walking away from that life to be with you. to be broken all over again. - Leah

you will make me walk away
Take my heart Break it in two Crumble it to pieces Its okay I want you too Tell me pretty lies Syrup dipped candy You're words have such sweetness Keep on drinking that brandy Beat around the bush Play you're little games Run wild and free Be sure to fasten my chains Kiss that other girl Play me like an upright base Feed me those excuses Let the tears pour down my face Allow me to feel the love Thats as plastic as that grin False sense of security Call it my original sin Take another trophy Place it upon your shelf Right next to the rest of them I'm sure your proud of yourself Throw me away once at the end Once you've had your fill Just like the rest of them I'll tumble downhill I'll cry out my heart Desperately want you back But just like the rest of them I was just another past time snack I'm stupid I know But hit play I'm stuck on repeat Help me..... ~

Play and Repeat
That smile of his Held the beauty of the world It was ever so charming and undeniably sweet Entrancing all those who lay eyes upon it There was a time where I once imaged I could even sell my soul if need be Whenever I saw his precious smile Then I came to see The true colours behind that smile Twas like a poisonous flower Blooming and vibrant Luring in its fragile prey Bewitching it within its spell Intoxicated by the nectar Unable to ever leave Upon revealing the truth That lay so evidently to preying eyes He had already long abandoned me leaving nothing but a memory of what was And a forever lingering taste of honey A sweetness upon my tongue Though it is best to end this longing This yearning for that man Who's smile warmed my heart halting my breath but for a moment As if encased within a time When my entire world was composed of Only him and that devious smile Yet my mind refuses to forget.... .
