There’s more than one way to die Little pieces of me die every time a loved one leaves Every time a friend betrays me Every time a dream is crushed Every time I am hurt Every time someone dies I may still be alive But pieces of me rot away Slowly each day
In the furnace of my mind I burn to light up the world With heat expanding a universe. In pages unfolding I whisper to "Open, Come in and see. Inside you can find me And so many fascinating things." Expanding, expanding, and hurtling forward Our world is there before us all. If only People would not think so small.
Hesitation made me miss Opportunities turned into a wish That I made the effort to be in your midst I took the present for granted Now Im haunted by my inaction when I reminisce Plans pushed off and dismissed Because I never considered a world in which you didn't exist Denying delays processing, the news didn't stick It took a few weeks before the reality hit My numb stone face fortress diminished to piles of brick Exposed and vulnerable I've experienced death but none ever hurt like this Life is fleeting, death is patient and waiting Mortal shells fickle, their hold on our spirits strained with the days The future perpetual in its becoming the past Our lingering end appears random and quick Indescriminate is the embrace of demise Inevitable is its kiss The debt of borrowed breath will one day seek repayment Take time today, or spend tomorrow longing and aching Don't waste life in fear, but never forget You dont have forever, don't waste it wasting time All we have is today, tomorrow never comes.
I wish i could explain myself Fully explain myself... Stop delivering pain to myself Be deliberate, and save myself Instead of filling out the page by myself Speak in full sentence to you by myself I'm tired of being lame by myself Not interested in fame by myself So the emotions on the page are for myself I wish i could give them to you myself Explain why i need all of you to myself I sorta need saving from myself And you know what else... I'm getting used to it being me and myself.
