They tell us to be brighter than the darkness that surrounds us
But what of the ever encroaching darkness that lies just within?

Depression is the gateway drug

Because I'll try anything
Absolutely anything
To make this feeling stop

Lost in my thoughts but my mind is too slow
In these quicksand memories, my hearts the first to go

and the rest of me follows

I'm a broken soul
Trying to breath
Through the smoke
Of a buring world

I miss him

But I miss the him that used to look at me, and saw nothing less than his galaxy.

on the loneliest of nights
the cicadas filled the silence

and when they go away
the thought of you sinks back in

love is clumsy
love is loud

and if this isn’t love
why can’t i hear anything else other than you

I hold your hand and I feel safe.

I kiss your lips and I close my eyes.

I see your smile and my heart calms.

I look into your eyes and my worries fade.

I listen to your voices and it's music in my ears.

I love you and I know you feel the same.
