Im still among you
Even though you can't see me
Im the thing that gives you goose bumps
Im that extra shadow you always see
Im want haunts you in you dreams
I watch you wake up screaming
Im the knock on your wall
I make your skin crawl
Dont be afraid
You know me
You loved me
I told you I would never leave you
So here I am
A wandering soul
Sought on being with you
I know you'll move on
Find another
But ill be watching from the shadows
Waiting
And when you need me
I'll be that warm comforting presence
That will never be leaving
ignore the words
that scatter through my mouth

instead let me paint you a story across your lips
my tongue is the paintbrush that will reveal the secrets behind my scars

let me inhale the life that is within you
let our breath become one, allow my heart to finally steady

let's explore the rythm of each others' bodies
and i'll sing you the song that i can't ever remember the words to

instead of bleeding, let's exhaust our lust
and sweat out the bleakness that dominates our hours of the night

taste the desires that linger within the gaze of my eyes
they speak more than my words can ever say
He has no hope
A prisoner in his own mind
Hallucinating  
The frustration of the hallucinations begets rage
So he smacks the wall he's in caged in
The wall sets a blaze
He acts unfazed
Sits there
Stares at the guards walking by
They dont care
For what he belongs here
The Intensity of the flames scratches an claws at his skin
He grabs the prison bars unaware
The heat seep into them
His palms sear then boil an bubble up
He lets out a yell this pain he never felt, its hell
Thinking quick he attacks the flames with the cover
Placed over his bed frame  
Instead he and the cover are engulfed in the fire  
His only hope are the guards
But the stand and stare
Soulless eyes  
Given the order not to intervene
So they stand an stare
Like I said the don't care
Stuck in a prison of his own mind
He isn't aware this isn't real only a hallucination
Being good enough is entirely subjective.

Not knowing,
but understanding,
that you'd never be.

So alone I stand,
record as clean as a babe's.

Not because no one's good enough.
But because I'll never be good enough.

When they leave,
One
By
One,
I never protest.

I watched,
and empathised.

What I have,
everyone has.

What I lack,
anyone can make up for

I only wish for that simple happiness.
Of love.

Yet how can I?

Thus I'm content,
in my halfheartedsoul,
that I will never be anyone's cup of tea;
should never be.

They deserve better,
much better,
but I just can't help myself,
from thinking,
if.
I feel like she was fleeting.
her love depending on the day.
on the pick of a petal.
she loves me (keeping my voice on her phone)
she loves me (walking from lunch)
she loves me (pep band games)
but then, I go to the next petal.
she loves me not. (forgetting to text back)
she loves me not. (not knowing how to react)
and even though it hasn't been picked yet.
she loves me not. (leaving me)
They're all moving on.
Better lives,
Better them.

I'm happy,
for them.

Yet I can't help,
but despair.

Who's gonna pull me out?

None but I.

But for the life of me,
I can't bring myself to.

Help,
for I'm sinking deeper.

Help,
for I can't help myself.

Help,
for this self-pity to end.

None that knows this misery,
for it'll be they who hurt.

Enough that I'm the only,
left in a destructive shell.

Time after time,
I thought I'm moving,
finally,
to a peaceful,
healthier life.

Time and again,
I fall back,
into this pit of darkness,
as though screaming,
yet unheard.

It hurts,
to know none bother,
Or notice.

I beg,
for the day of eternal release.
THE FOREST THAT BLOOMS IN YOUR MYSTIC LAP
SEEKING THE ROOT OF RAIN-DROP,,
THAT ROLLS FROM THE DEEP BLUE FORE-HEAD.
MY LOVE!
YOU, THE DROP THAT SURROUNDS THE BLOOM
MY LORD!
YOU, THE BLOOM THAT SWALLOWS THE DROP

OH MY LORD! BLESS ME TO BE A REFERENCE
OH MY LOVE! KINDLE ME TO BE A REVERENCE
IN THIS ETERNAL SEARCH FOR YOUR BLESSED UNISON
SWEET WOUNDS ARE CHISELED ON THIS BAMBOO SOUL
WHEN YOU ARE THERE AS CONSOLING CURE
CAN NOT I HUG THE OOZING PAIN ?
CAN NOT I **** OUT SORROWS?

YOUR LIPS MADE ME A FLUTE
MY MAD BREATH HAS BECOME A TUNE
I FLOW LIKE AN ANCIENT LONGING
IN YOUR FRAGRANT OCEAN I AM MERGING
LIKE A FLOWER FLOATING IN YOUR HEART

OH MY LORD
LET MY LIFE KISS THE JINGLE OF YOUR ANKLET
IN THIS ANCIENT BALLAD
WORD IS NOT ONLY A WORD--- BUT ALSO A GREEN DREAM
SPORT IS NOT ONLY A SPORT-- BUT ALSO A CONCEIVING HUE

OH MY LOVE!
BE GRACIOUS LIKE A WARM SONG IN MY VEINS
LET ME SURROUND YOU LIKE A RAINDROP
LET ME ROUND YOU LIKE A CREEPER
LET ME SING YOU LIKE A FLUTE

OH MY LORD! OH MY LOVE!
DON"T HESITATE TO BLESS ME
--- A WOUND ------- A CURE
OH MY LOVE! BE MY EXPERIENCE!
Hey its me
Im the thing on your face
I make you feel like a disgrace
Make you want to hide
You try an cover me up but I still show
What you dont want people to know
You don't want them to see me
How does it feeling knowing I control the day
You try an think of ways to get ride of me
If you touch me ill cause you pain
Like your showering in acid rain
Remove me before im ready an ill scar your face
And the memory of me will never fade away
Let me run my course
Then ill go away
And sit underneath the surface
Until its time for me to come out an play
Take a walk with me
Down this street
I need your company
Its creepy here
The oozing fog carries a sent of burnt flesh
I heard the stories
This is the devils lair
Quick say a prayer
Keep your eyes open make sure your awake
Falling asleep would be a mistake,a risk you shouldn't take
Its quiet wouldn't you agree
The sound of the wind is our only companion
Trickling through the cracks and windows of every house
And with it the sound of knives
we're getting closer
The smell of melted flesh
sets my lungs on fire
I can hardly breath
With each breath the feel of suffocation
Short inhales helps
I've been here before but only in the dream world
It didn't end to well
I struggle to remember
Then it dawns on me
I look for a sign to confirm what I already know
And there's only one sign that show
Elm street
She was born in November
The older sister of December
Raised under the autumn sun
Bright blue eyes
I see the sky's reflection when she looks at me
Face perfectly sculptured
Unique like each leaf hanging from the tree
Graceful like the breeze
Sweet like honey made by the bees
Her hair the scent of freshly bloomed flowers
Beautiful like a trail of falling leafs
Her voice is a soothing melody
Calming
She's a relief from the summer weather
Hoping she'll be here next year
To watch the leaf's  
Doing their dance of colors
Hoping the ripples I made
Well settle quickly
I can feel the cool weather settling in
December comes quicker this year
