I am beginning to trust
Absence makes the heart grow fonder
Out of sight, out of mind
Are not the same thing
Oh, look.
You came back as promised.
I can let you go but you're not gone.
You don't forget me.
Right ******* here.
Me too, lover.

Roses from your funeral
Plucked and placed lovingly in a bowl
Of glass used to enable your addiction
Lyrics of the last song you learned folded and hidden away never to hear your rendition.
Your guitar passed down through generations now gone, hanging.
Silently staring.
Daring.
Meet me on the other side.
Let me know what day it was did you decide?
Was it before or after you slashed us open wide?
We were waiting for you.
Did you know?
You said you would be there in half a day and nobody in the world could take me away.
What happened?
The madness creeped in and you couldn't pay for your sins.
Now I get it.
I run through this life, shoving everyone away just knowing someday...
My fate is the same.
Don't bother getting too close,
Or like me you'll be left loving a ghost.

I'm not saying I love you, but when you're gone, I'm gone too.

I can't say just what I'll do, but on the day you die I'll die too.

Bloodlust and new tattoos, my soul has been reaching out for you.

Close my eyes and dream of this, and undying love that can't exist. No longer stuck in a lovers tryst but a thirst in my soul because I need this.

Break it off and draw me in, the needle can't be removed from this skin.

Chasing you down the street, people scream and scatter.
You run from me, but don't you see?
I will pick you up to help you reach the apple on that tree.
You can ride on me while we cross the sea!
My intensity is there for you to see that you can always count on someone: ME!
Overbearing and complicated.
Let me help you!
This terrifying monster with outstretched arms just wants to hug you, just to be there!
Didn't you know?
I roar because I care.
Yet, I scare you off...
I'm aware.

I am beautifully contemplative
I wonder how many grains of sand are on this Earth
I hear the waves crashing on the rocks
I see the crystal blue water of the ocean
I want to become something outstanding in life
I am beautifully contemplative

I pretend to be a part of the night sky
I feel connected to sanity
I touch the soft fur of a black panther
I worry that my friends are not really my friends
I am beautifully contemplative

I understand that the world will go on without you
I say it only matters what you think about yourself
I dream that I am part of the Stars
I tried to be perfect for them
I hope that someday I will be
I am beautifully contemplative

Lightning flashes
Feeling this electricity burrow further as we go
Pinpricks of light
Seeping into the recesses of my soul
Surges of power
Keeping me up at night
Waves of passion
Lapping at my synapse
Slipping into your oblivion
Bring me down
Drag me in
