Echoes Of A Mind
I'm not eating...
Eating anything
And my nights
Have all become sleepless
I don't dream anymore
There's only nightmares
My mind is getting darker
I'm starting to think
That no one cares

I'm on the edge
Slowly falling into depression
I'm torn apart
And I can't be patched
Back together
Use the glue
But it doesn't matter
No matter what you do
'Cause in my mind
I'm already dead

I'm not eating
Maybe it's just stress
Maybe it's depression
Why don't I get any rest
Thoughts are circling in my mind
Crossing distance and time
Keeping me awake
Until the next day
Comes...
Lately I've been feeling down....

I forgive you

And I forgive you,
Boy who promised me endless tomorrow's
And a lifetimes supply of love
But then left my heart, cold and abandoned
more than once.

I forgive you, best friend who said she would stay by my side no matter what,  
And left me sobbing and alone                    in a pool of my own *****.

I forgive you, mother who loves me with the world but can never seem to notice the way my cheeks are always tear stained and how I haven't eaten for a week.

Father, I forgive you for telling me home is always a safe place but making me feel like an imposter in my own home every time I enter the room;
Just because my grades didn't meet your standards.

I forgive you, kind sister who sometimes forgets that I just need a pair of arms to crawl into when I'm lonely and not
Disapproving looks and judge mental comments.

But most of all, I forgive you, sweet girl in the mirror.
Bright smile, brown skin, hateful glare.
I forgive you for not loving yourself enough
And thinking that you're never good enough.
I love you, okay?
And I forgive you for sometimes forgetting that.

Love vs. Loyalty

I believe there is someone for everyone
The perfect person, that fits like a glove
Everyday a surprise, making the boring, fun
But how do you know?

If I married you tomorrow,
How do I know I can't do better?
Love is strange.....
How do you know?

After years together, through thick and thin
Would it just be loyalty? To stop me moving on
Fear of the world without you? Being my blanket
Or are you someone I can tolerate life with, until the 'one'?
I still don't understand love... Maybe I never will. Do I like passing time with you? Or are you truly my 'one'

A life so fragile by touch.
A soul so addicted to love.
A mind that needs to unwind.
These eyes are staring blind.
Leaving the past behind.
Lock the pain away.
Trying to feel happy along the way.
Like an ocean deep within.
Feelings of loneliness and fear.
As you whisper in my ear.
Sweet comfort words I need.
To feel safe when my heart bleeds.
Love is such a powerful feeling.
A slightest touch feels so healing.

Echoes Of A Mind
Sorry, I love you
I didn't plan
To fall for you.

Sorry, I love you
I know it's a bother
So I'll never say it to you.

Sorry, I love you
Everything would probably be better
If I didn't.

Sorry, I love you
If I could stop it
Then I would.

Sorry, I love you
Why does it have
To be you?

Sorry, I love you
I'll put these words in a box
And hide them far away.

I love you
Is the three words,
Which I will never say...

A simple gesture
Touched my heart
Now I wonder
If being apart
Means I'm not for you
And you are not for me

But I hope and I pray
One day
You'll be by my side
Through high and low tides
To love undyingly.
Please don't be married yet.
