A bullet through your chest
Feels almost like
A heart-break

As the final flame burns to ash
Darkness floods the world over
A fog, suffocating all it consumes
Until a darkened soul
lights the empty ember
restoring the lost flame

When I die
Would you remember me in 2 weeks?
2 months?
Or 2 years?
Because
If you look in the mirror and can't remember your old self
Before the mistakes you made
The drugs you took
The risks you didn't take
Before society took hold of you
How can anyone else?

The sky
Up so high
The pavement
Down so low
the building sways with the wind
The bottle I hold
Latching on for life
But it too
Wants me to let go
My mind says go
But my feet stay in place
My tears
Beating me to the road
Calling me
Telling me to fly
So I jump

All new faces
Each and every day
Such a small world
Wouldnt you say?
Won’t ever see me again
In this world of gray
For the world is for the living
So I guess I can’t stay

The saying “Seeing is believing”
Is not really true
Because what if I said
“I love you”
You wouldn’t have to see
To believe it to be true
And there is no other way to explain that
It will always be you
You have my heart
It will always beat for you
Because I mean it when I say
“I love you”

Mistakes were made
No lessons were learned
Will I do it again?
Absolutely
