My mind's full of thoughts
I don't want.
Sequences, images of things
I can never have.
It's not about fantasizing about a better life
before you get to sleep.
It's about dissociating from reality
and excessively gritting your teeth.
You want and try to stop
but in a few seconds
you find yourself lost.
I can't remember when did it all begin,
probably way back before I was even a teen.
I want to cut my skin open and get out of my body, leave behind this broken mind.
It smothers me, it takes me to the edge,
it's eating me alive.
I'm losing it. Oh, I'm losing myself.
I don't want a way out, I want to be dead.
As I write this I'm imagining things.
Stop! Someone, rescue me!
I'm losing it.
Can I go crazy? I think I will.
I'll **** myself before it ends me.
I'm losing it.

It's not just about the butterflies in your stomach.
It's also about the peace in your heart,
the calm in your mind.
If you miss one then it's not right.

The road is too lonely
for this silly town girl.
The road is too dangerous
for this hidden fine pearl.
She has boiling blood
and some vivid dreams
but she has no one,
from most eyes she's unseen.
For the past few years
she wakes up to survive
all by her own
surrounded by lies.
But she breathes and takes courage
to embrace each new day
and in a trance she keeps walking
to the rhythm of lay lady lay.
Nomadic crature,
no home, no men.
Wanderer enchanter,
for how long this life will she stand?
Deep down her core
she wishes to have
a stable surrounding
that more than a heartbeat could last.
So tonight as she risks her light
walking through the road
she repeats to the stars her desire,
not to be forever so alone.

I idealized you
and the possibility of us.
I clung to the idea
that you were the love of my life.
I gave you my heart,
my mind
and my body.
I saw colors in the blackest sky,
and every time you rejected me
I never asked why.
It seemed you didn't care whether you kissed me or not.
I had so little from you but even that got me caught.
The insecurities exploted inside,
so many fears burnt my mind.
Please love me,
please need me.
Don't go,
stay with me.
I gave you all my fire
and yet you were freezing cold.
Not feeling your presence hurts,
but being with you hurts me more.
I thought I could be happy with you,
I thought you were sincere
but after all this time
the aching is still here.
Not resentment, not blaming fate.
I was blind, it's me who I hate.
There was so many red flags,
I was so stupid to ignore.
And I'm so sorry
for wanting something more.
Your actions didn't show you could change;
for the rest of your life you'll be a cruiser.
Oh, poor little fool that I am;
how could I fell for such a loser.

He said he loved me
but he never showed it.
He said he missed me
but I hardly ever saw him.
He said he said he said,
too many words.
I lost all my bets.
Was it all just lies?
I guess I'm not the type that you like;
I'm too silly,
too innocent,
too much of a dreamer.
You like your women
filthy,
experienced,
disposable *** dealers.
He has a machine heart I couldn't cut through.
Day through day, sad and lost, I made myself believe I could be his muse.
I like the idea that he had good intentions,
he just couldn't take responsibilities, too much tension.
And I wonder
if there was truly any feeling there.
And I wonder
how could someone change
the way they always were.

The leaves have started falling
and the cold is coming fast.
It's hard to be okay
when you can't bury the past.
What I called "us" fell to the ground,
among the leaves it disappeared.
The heat between us is now winter
and it turned out really weird.
You didn't say goodbye,
you just hid away.
Not a solid ending,
drove me utterly insane.
I hope the winter frezzes my heart
and cools down my mind,
I hope when the spring arrives
I can finally feel divine.

If I search for you,
               I never find you.
If I wait for you,
               you never come.

So what do you do
when the thing you want the most
hides away from you?

So untouchable,
                 unreachable,
                           so distant up high.

Do you keep on searching and waiting?
Or do you let it pass?
