Caught up in your threshold of pain and growing old, But I'm nowhere near that old, for all my thoughts to feel so cold. And your words pile down like snow Building fast, but leaving slow. A melody pitched, in perfect adagio. Lift me high just to throw me low You shine but you're nowhere near gold. Let all your demons unfold. A heart that's black and freezing cold, I ripped the grip from your choke hold. I'm someone you'll no longer know. How's my salt taste mixed in all your snow I watch you die from my window. Your end brings on the perfect glow Of a debt that I'll no longer owe, The chill forgives, drifting further now Suddenly, it doesn't feel so cold. Knocked your wind speed down to zero. I have melted all your snow. Here in my own arms, I am finally consoled.

Snow
I can’t quite explain the meaning of this You’re the one thing I always hope to last. I knew I loved you before that first kiss Never knew butterflies could fly so fast. Being with you’s like falling at seven, Left me an angel who’s just learned flying. Then with ease, you pushed me out of heaven How quick flying leaves you falling, crying. Out of heaven’s gates, I went straight to hell Left my heart on a plate, call it tragic. A dream that went out at the strike of twelve, I’m emptier than the mind of maggots. I needed you more than air in my lungs You were rope round my throat you left me hung.

Sonnet
You hold me tight and pull me close But I've never felt so cold I'm as empty as a balloon that has just found its hole I'm a lake with no ending A puddle with no reflection I'm a postcard in the window Cause it's not worth sending And you tell me you're sorry And you squeeze my hand tight And you're killing me slowly The dark that haunts my night My mind is stuck My heart is paused I need to surrender this fight But I'm getting nowhere Cause you hold the string And I am just your kite

Kite
I think of you at dinner at the movies, at the mall I think of you in giant crowds when I start to feel real small I think of you at breakfast at parties, parks, and pools I think of you in math class actually whenever I'm at school I think of you through meetings through papers, pens, and plans I think of you whenever somebody grabs my hand I think of you at street lights with every red I hit I think of you through conversation every word, a detail that I miss I think of you at midnight I think of you alone I think of you all summer I think of you as home I think of you forever through winter, spring and fall I think of you constant Do you think of me at all

Think of You
Everyone can see it's you the crack that makes me break But how it must blur my vision with every step I take. Cause all I've ever seen is you I've been walking towards your hand. You're the only one who's ever gotten me even the parts I can't understand. Buried deep inside of me is the truth I'll never tell You should get it, after all you're who taught me to lie so well. So just keep bending me with every turn you take Bend me with every pretty line you fake I think I've left it pretty clear. You've got me on your beaten path, I let you **** me baby, you broke me right in half.

In Half
This is my sorry letter for all the things I could never say to you My apology, to both of us, for holding on as long as this You scared me for so long In all the ways you redefined the word ''home'' You froze me stiff right where I stood each and every time your hand slid against mine It's not so much in what you did It's how you did it, all so effortlessly The way you know your smile's poison and your tears the perfect bait I hate how every word in every line is based around the recipe of you 2 scoops of misery A cup of nicotine Three bags of mystery, beauty, and pain All wrapped up in pretty eyes You couldn't disguise it well enough The meaning of this word I'll always know it's spelled Y-O-U

You
If love is a drug, then she is ecstasy one touch to your tongue and your whole world expands. But what if love were measured by the spilling of clouds? Then, my dear, she'd be a hurricane with all warning to stay inside.

Hurricane
Is this bad timing or just bad luck The worst thing you could do is to stay It'd be best if you just left me to down in thoughts of you I'd rather paint a perfect picture of imagination Than let you **** my color pallet With the truth of demons inside you Because it will always remain the same The simplest constant that you contain I can play and play and play but I'll never beat you at this game.

You're an expert at picking the best times To hit me with the hardest lines For me to hear you say. Drop me from 60 to 0 faster Than a bullet heading my way. I was so good without you Why'd you have to show me better I could have been fine with good enough Now I'll know what I'm missing forever.

Good Enough
You told me this right here was overrated But I just love to watch you move I just need to hear you say it Tell me how I'm worthless, that to you it's just a game Teach me how to hate even the simple sound of your name Cause you're a poison that I can't stop drinking You're a poison that's fogged my thinking And I've been thinking lately that maybe You were gonna be who saved me But you watched me drown, you drilled the holes So tell me this is nothing, teach me how it goes I need to hear you say it, I love it when you lie Tell me you can just walk away Look me in the face as you stare right through my eyes Tell me you want me gone And I'll leave before you can say goodbye You told me I was overrated Just a way to fill your nights You told me this was overrated We can both pretend you're right
