I've started descending and I knew you would
be waiting at the surface prepared to catch me
for you have already fallen
Part of me was ready to sink into your arms
but clarity wasn't present
You were unfamiliar and kind, and for that I ran
Fear has taken a hold
I can feel the hurt evaporating from within
The world has made you cold
and you couldn't stop shivering
But at the same time your touch kept me warm
and I wanted more, so the fire within our
emotions began to ignite
The way you ease my mind through my
insecurities allowed me to close my eyes
Your words carry like the wind traveling
over the ocean waters
But after a while you wanted so badly
to reach for the stars, while I wanted to stay
leveled
You wanted to grow old and I wanted to
remain young
So I fled, like the sun fleeing from the
moon during sunset
Without any explanation I left you in the
dark and I could tell you were overwhelmed
You've drowned in the idea that we both
took part in, while I carried that same idea
on to the next

I lay on the bed,
staring at the vacant side
asking where are you?
I was screaming for your attention,
but you couldn't hear me
Distance didn't play a factor,
I guess you just decided to block my sound.
Rubbing my hand against the curtain
to feel the sun's breath.
The smooth texture of emptiness
embodies of what is inside.
I'm quickly sinking to the lowest level
of the sea you lay your feet in.
The darkness is overwhelming.
I've drown in the love for someone
who has taken flight in the love
for the next.
At the end of the road,
you chose a different route without
having a rear-view mirror.
These four squares that surround me
passes no judgment, for they know my
pain.
Wave on top of wave of disappointment
constantly delivers the anticipation of
capsizing.
I'm yearning to breathe and yet your voice
is the only source of respiration
and you've stopped speaking.

Can you see me?
Because looking at you is like
sitting in the front row
Amongst the crowd, amongst
all of the noise
But as soon as you walk into
the room, everything becomes
dead silent
And I become frozen, with my
eyes locked on your beauty
I tend to imagine us sparking
a conversation over coffee
or maybe over lunch
Nothing too crazy, because
being around you in any setting
would be crazy enough
But in reality I'm never able
to gather the words
For if I could, I would let you
know that you glow in place
of the sun on a cloudy day
That your smile becomes shelter
from the pouring rain
But instead I just sit back patiently
waiting, praying that the universe
will bless today with the opportunity
of learning your name

Beating on my heart to the rhythm of a drum
She's used to city lights, drinks, and having fun
Yearning for happiness and praying that it will come
She's searching, looking in places that are just wrong
Off her beauty and smile, I became drunk
All the while I knew it wouldn't last long
Laid in the shade, I was woken by the sun
Guess I was foolish to think that she's the one
Crying in the dark, but she smiles in the light
And off that liquor, yea she's gone for the night
Heartbreaks and scars, man I guess I lost the fight
Perception/ Deception has taken flight
