You give me your all All of which I can't return Though I try so hard

I know you'll always be here But what happens when love isn't enough? Enough to hold together the fragile pieces Of a heart and mind already so weak. If I fall apart will you be able to put it back together Or will I die trying? Can we really hold us together Even though I can't hold myself up? I want to know I'll always be here, But what happens if this isn't enough?

Might Not Be Enough
This is water. Metaphorically speaking of course. This is really life. A greater being surrounding your pulse. This is the day you carried on; Instead of folding, giving up. This is what we all have in common. Despite color, age, or gender. This is our power and weakness. No matter how strong or fragile we believe we are. This is not water. We are not drowning.

Is It Like Water?
Now I see what I didn't believe, Though I have conceived That our world is icy; Frozen, cold, but hot like hell. I won't fall in love with falling. I'll fall in love with me, I, and myself. 'Cause in my own eyes I'm compromised, Fed so many lies, watched my faith die And my hopes diminish. So long before we're finished But I'm getting skittish And nervous, feeling worthless. This seems so worthless, what's the purpose? The aspiration has been the pursuit of happiness. We don't need the stress to pass this test Just take a rest, go out and guess. Let others assess our intelligence. We'll play the fool, for they're the best of the best. Yeah, step right up and place your bets! Ignore regrets, never forget To empathize or sympathize, not criticize, Don't demoralize their strange eyes. Because you are unaware of what underlies All their metaphorical reprise. While some lives are filled with black nights Others shine bright like star light in dark skies. A bit of insight into my fright Proves you can't fight off your demons with a knife.

My Knife
You said you loved me, lied through your teeth No persuasion from my end maybe it's not how it seems How you left me again for the fourth ******* time But I knew it would happen before all the signs I don't know if you're confused or just confusing It's funny now that you're the one who's losing We could never be the same again Watch out, watch out for all of your "friends"

I missed you for a long time. Time changes everything. Everything gets better. Better not get too close. Close the doors in my mind. Mind my own business. Business between us is long gone. Gone a long way since then. Then again, things happen for a reason.

Things Happen For A Reason
Wake up, new like the day Follow a routine, accidently made Every time, do the same. Write it down, though you can't write Form word, phrase, sentence, life Both give and take, love and fight. Avoid the pain, try not to feel Live in fantasy, not the real Make an effort, seal the deal. Go to bed, alone again Miss the past, an old friend More than that, when does this end?

Living
Words dance in my mind; Words that don't mean a thing. Words run away when I need them most. Words tease and taunt me. Words are supposed to be my own; Words who form my thoughts; Words I should be in control of. Words mean everything. Words mend hearts and break them. Words pierce the soul, melt the brain.

Maybe Not Words
I don't know how you fill me with words Still, after being filled with so much hurt I haven't yet pushed you out of my mind You cross my thoughts most of the time From your smile to those eyes Those lethal brown eyes, deep and dark The way your fingers grazed the small of my back An electric sensation through my body Why I still want you so badly after all this time Remains a mystery to me The case is going ice cold, no more fire Coming from your end, burnt out

You Know Who
*I like to kiss you on your lips, cheeks, neck; Anywhere with flesh.* And I like tracing lines down your bare back, my fingertips to your skin. **The way I feel with you around me, on me, in me isn't a word.**
