Diary of the Damned
There are needs that feed my fire
There are needs that douse my flame
There are needs to need
And no need to need at all
Sometimes hoping more than needing
Sometimes begging more than wishing
Sometimes wishing not to have to beg at all
Trying hard to be my true self
Not the self I’ll never truly know
No stranger to the stranger I’ve become
Tired of feeling like I’m feeling
Never waking
Always dreaming
Far too many days spent wishing I were numb
I don’t mean to be so needy
But I don’t need to be alone
I don’t need to feel this sorrow every day
I don’t need to pour my heart out
But I’ve no need to bite my tongue
I need the one who’d wish to steal my heart away

the tales we kept

we were the meaning of a tragedy,
hands in each other's chest,
kissing and loving each other,
but we both knew we're closer to the edge.

one by one our clothes disappear,
as our end draw near.
we push each other a lot,
just to wait for the other to pull back.

and then later, after the show,
we slowly drift away from each other.
lovers to friends. friends to strangers.
for we have fallen out of love a long time ago.

and what we do are just memories
we'd always wish to undo.

it was never meant to
be this way
Jesus didn't come here
to create religion
he came
to create relationships

he never
wanted this divide
he only
wanted to know us
personally

this is why
we must
lay religion down
and
raise our relationship with Him up.

It's just like you told me,
The horrors of your dreams come true
Flooding my timeline
My days are now efforts to avoid drowning
So tonight, i'll nose dive into the hurricane.
There's no place to hide out here.
Both our hands are filthy and no one will touch us.
But tonight, i'll hold you close
And we'll fall asleep to escape our plight.
We'll live in our dreams, if only for the night.
If we could fly,
Then we'd fly south.
Away from everything,
Everything That threatens our happy future.
Pictures of dead decaying dreams.
Framed photos of this moment
Floating atop the mass dump of the times
We wasted.
The times we failed to spend in each other's arms.
So we failed to gather again at the end of the Purge.

Walking on the
Beach watching
The peaceful ocean
Beautiful sunset
Beautiful sunset
I sit down and just take
In the beautiful view I
Just listing to waves
Hitting the shores and
Take in the beautiful
Beautiful sunset
It is blue and purple
You can see the sun
Going behind the
Ocean and the birds
Flying in the sunset
And the beautiful palm
Trees oh how relaxing
Is it to look at the
Beautiful sunset

Time,
We view this intangible thing
As linear
But I believe
That somewhere
I'm still a child
And all that has been
Is
All that will be
Is
Eternal Recurrence
I believe
That these things
These forces,
The very forces that turn the earth,
Are the same forces
Which turn our hearts
Binding our souls
Every soul
Existing all at once
We
Live
Love
Die
We

Are
I hope I don't sound any crazier than usual;)  and I really don't know where this came from. But there it is.

There is a hole in our boat,
and though it be still small,
I tread the water lightly around it-
for every careful step i take to patch it back again
only cracks it open farther.

Instead of rowing on the water
we are swimming and fighting to keep afloat-
still trying to save the vessel that is already underwater.
Our feet can't touch the bottom,
but we still look and press to feel grounded against open water.

Paddles snapped in two long ago,
floating farther from where we float.
All i want is to keep rowing-
shore has to be close now.
