Nothing compares to deep conversation
That fills moments throughout the day
Your eyes glisten brighter than the moon
Wear a smile that takes my breath away

Night's mysterious magnetic field
Nothing like the pull of your gravity
Your voice keeps me anchored
Protected from outside depravity

Cannot find hesitation in your touch
No spoken words carry fear, doubt
You leave, I capture your essence
Place to place I roam about

I scrub my skin, wash my past down the drain
Hands are wrinkled under a leaden waterfall
Noise from newly-born wishes echo
Songs of emotion off the ceiling and walls

Your steady calm carries to my head
Always ready, in fear of no one
Charming, witty, a natural deciever
War-fueled strength challenged by none

If I could, I would bottle your light
I can't, so I try to memorize
Your hand and mine fit together
Space of doubt between your eyes

Have to force my gaze away
Too easy to lose myself in your lines
When you touch my naked flesh
Swear the galaxy aligns

Trying to make changes you deserve
Make something of our supply of tears
A future for hands to arrange
Melt into as we conquer the years
I think my sad poetry is a lot better than mu happy poetry

Dated a fool once
Made me fall in love
I believed he was
An angel sent from above

He might have been
For someone besides me
Left the day before
The date of our first anniversary

Time was going to **** us
As does nearly everything
I knew that at the time
It didn't stop the sting

This girl I became
Because what you said
Was reluctant and hollow inside
Emotionally but not physically dead

You are born with loneliness
But when you find
Someone to hold hands with
It is hard to break the bind

Things that were good
Now are not there at all
Spinning down, down, down
You are why I fall
Before Alice could get to wonderland she had to fall

I used to confess all my secrets to you
Now you do not talk to me at all
I used to be your partner but now
I am one step above a *******

Showed me how it feels to be in love
Used to kiss me every day
But then showed me how much love could hurt
When you ripped all of yours away

Trusted you with all my heart
You left me with an empty bed
Even after all the pain you caused
I believe every word that you said

Used to be happy together
Now I'm sad and on my own
You're fine, have work to distract you
I have nothing, I'm all alone

Used to gaze into your eyes
Now I'm staring at the wall
Used to think I was amazing
Now you do not think of me at all
It's crazy how fast time changes things

Letting go all I know is difficult
Didn't expect you to leave
Looking back on that fateful day I gave you my heart
Feel dumb for being naive

Your eyes had me spellbound
How your kiss made me melt
Hands leading me through late-night talks
Always knowing words to match how I felt

Made you dinner though I couldn't cook
We would drink with our friends when we could
Every small insignificant moment
Burrowed deeper than I thought they would

I knew you had flaws, same as me
I noticed you'd down too many beers
Still stayed by your side til the night finished
Would not leave the guy I held so dear

This corsage reminds me of simpler times
Stumbled upon it today
Wondered what you were doing
If you remember that chilly spring day

I thought nothing would be as good as you
Watched hopelessly, you chose to depart
Step by step your silhouette shrunk
You walked away, but not with my heart
I dont know why im randomly writing about my first ex, i have no feelings for him whatsoever now, i guess i was just reminiscing

One of the toughest things I've ever done
Watch the person I truly love
Change from my soulmate, best friend, the one
To total stranger, how did you become
This distant mirage, cold and numb?
In blink of eye went from my sun
To pouring rain I cannot overcome
You were my someone, I was just your anyone
Now I'm the one looking dumb
A fool living under your thumb
Have your spirit written in rhyme
Truth hiding within every line
Describing a wild exciting time
I was yours and you were mine
It sure was a roller-coaster ride
Through flips and turns stayed by your side
Couldn't give the world but I swear that I tried
By giving my whole heart and letting you inside
By no means am i perfect, I became obsessed
Lies and betrayal made me a huge mess
Wrongdoings are hard to confess
Hare that I left, after I stressed
The fact we would always be best
Friends forever, forever lasted less
Time than we hoped, our clock is at rest
All good eventually end I guess.

HOOK:
I remember when I fell in love
Now we are falling apart
Gave me broken promises
I gave my bleeding heart
I never thought we would part
But this is the end, we can't restart.

Now there is a deep hole in my soul
Time floating on, taking its toll
Where is the piece I need to become whole?
I cannot breathe, yet I am smoking this bowl
My chest is heavy, lacking control,
Knees shake, does not feel right to console
The tears commanded, what is your goal?
Why do you say such warm words when you act so cold?
You have a lot of growing up to do
I will admit I have some too
Although it hurts to break you in two
For both our sakes, I am saying we are through.

(HOOK)

Hear a soundtrack in my head
In bed, songs of strong fear and dread
Killing all my confidence
Covering me with bruises, dents
Melodies cutting deep inside
Rearrange brain, then divide
Thoughts pulled from opened mind
Want to leave sorrow behind
Sing myself to sleep with a tune
Hopefully we feel better soon
If stars are out and you're feeling blue
Look at the moon, know this much is true
Wherever I am, under the same dark sky too
And part of me is thinking of you.
I love the movie eith the same title haha

I am in love with your caring embrace
Complex mind and gorgeous face
Around you, my heart starts to race
Feelings for you could never be erased.
I love you and then i hate you. Its like i wanr to throw you off a building then rush to the bottom to catch you.
