I am standing on a hill Where city lights become Fireflies that lead me home And stars are night lights for Those who are afraid of their Thoughts that only come out After the sun has set And I am trying to think of All the times when Words didn't work And all the times I used pain to remind myself That I am still alive And all the times I let people Break my heart Just so I could feel Something And I think I have Kissed more bottles than people But either way I still end up Drunk on the idea of love

City lights
We were made to roam every corner of this earth, to become nomads whose homes are inside each other. Our hearts are too curious to be kept in this cage made of bones.

Wander the earth
He caresses her palms so often And kisses her on the forehead The way she likes since her parents Never gave her the love she wanted; It's as if he could erase the scars That has been permanently carved Inside of her for so long. As each kiss lands on her skin She forgets the the wounds are so deep; his touch is strong but it is tender and with each graze Her pain starts to wash away.

Secrets
And in the end, I fear I will be nothing more than a name.

The night terrors have gotten worse now And it’s been so long since I last slept The thought of rest is starting to sound surreal Yet every time my lids grow heavy This nightmare becomes reality My greatest fear becomes my fate In dream after dream I am forced To see myself die, each night in a new way Over and over I witness the end of my life This does not scare me for I fear not the reaper But another detail never changes It is what I see as I draw in my final breath This mirage of my mind stands at my side Though she’s always just out of reach Her eyes telling the tale of heart break This nameless woman bears my child For my greatest fear is not my death It’s leaving behind the family that I never met

My Greatest Fear
We burned our love To the ground In the ashes We are found

I like red roses because I think they are pretty Just like every person On this earth right now Except me, And I know I promote self-love But I have so much self-hate. Well maybe one day I will feel beautiful, But for now I will help you Instead.

Red Roses
I lost myself In my own world Where my thoughts Are murdered With unspoken words Where there's a war Going on Between my body And my soul Where I try to Scream and shout But there's just no way out.

A cloud rumbles from above, Rain drips and drops. Each water molecule falls, Crashing into rooftops and window panes, slipping through leaves, landing on gravel. One lands onto an open page of a book, half-read and abandoned. Ink begins to run, words blend together to form the unspeakable.
