Do it out of love
or do it not at all
for the power in your heart
should not pull on the strings of mine
it should dance with them, tangle them
in a web that catches fallen pieces
when my paper skin loses integrity
it should color them
when the grey has covered everything

Do it out of love
or do it not at all
the force that drives your lips to mine
should not derive from the same place
that drives you to work in the morning
or to bed at night
for these are chores
and I have been there before
so I ask you to do it out of love
not habit, nor chore
do it out of love
I've never had that before

The cold wind greeted
the hoarfrost that
evening as white
butterflies started to
fall from the dark sky.
Soon the pearly blanket
was spread across
the whole land.
It sparkled on the milky
moonlight, giving the old
willow tree a wooly gown.
Covering all the roofs,
the fields of corn and wheat,
the tall grass on the meadow.
But then she appeared,
sending fairies to dance on the
frozen lake thus melting the ice.
And with every step that she took,
snowdrops began to bloom.

I wanna open your eyes
So you won't have a reason to fall
Just look towards the sky
Show em all you're standing tall
And even if you fall
I'll still be by your side
I'll never let you go
Not until the day I die

I'm a waste space..
                                                         ­                                     you're just in a rut.
I've got to get out of this place.
                                                          ­                                 you think to much..
I always see her face.
                                                           ­                                    I know, it's rough.
life really *****.
                                                          ­                           would you just shut up?
But, I'm so weak..
                                                          ­                  you're stronger then you look
I can't even sleep
                                                           ­                              why not read a book?
Because, I don't want to
I'm in too much pain,
something you wouldn't get
it's no wonder you're sane.
                                                           ­                                    Is their ever a time
                                                                ­you don't have something to blame?
                                                          ­                                                   honestly,
                                                             I'm tired of playing these head games.
See!
you're done with me,
just like everyone else.
                                                           ­                well that's not the proper way
                                                             ­                     if you're in a cry for help.
then tell me, please
what do I do?
                                                             ­                first off, you can't be so rude.
                                                           ­         second thing, stop crying boo hoo!
just be quiet..
                                                         ­         no, it's something you need to hear.
I don't want you to talk!
                                                           ­                                   I'm being sincere..
                                                       ­                                       I remember a time
                                                            ­                  when you didn't give a ****
                                            and now just because, you're down on your luck
                                                  doesn't give you an excuse to always give up!
...
                                                         ­                                       you're so strong,
                                                         ­                           stronger then you know
                                                            ­                   yet, you're always so ready
                                                           ­                         to jump out the window.
                                                         ­                                   It's not just your life
                                                            ­                                            it's mine too,
                                                            ­         and I've been through everything
                                                                ­                                 the same as you.
...
                                                        ­                               are you even listening?
                                                      ­                  do you care what I have to say?
I'm so sorry,
I just want this to go away...
                                                         ­      I promise you it will, only some day..
                                                   although, until then you've got to be patient.
..
                                                     ­                 You should look towards the sky
                                                 yet, don't scream above asking God "Why!?"
                                                         ­                Instead, just try to live your life
                                                                ­ you've always been so **** bright.
hmm..
well maybe you're right..
I can't just give up
I've gotta fight!
Thank you so much for clearing my sight.
                                                          ­                                         Don't thank me
                                                              ­                         we're gonna be alright.
I know we are,
it's just I get scared.
                                                         ­                                           Well that's why
                                                             ­                  we'll always come prepared
and no matter what happens
I know we'll share
the same kind of ending.                    -                     the same kind of ending.

This doesn't fit..
Where in the hell can I find one that fits?
Uhhh...
I know others have them,
some seem pretty obvious
but, I feel a great sorrow for them.
Although, I guess I should just go look in a mirror then, huh.?
I don't want to,
so I wont.
Not until I can find one that fits..

Do you have one?
Do you know where I can get one?
I need to know,
you see, people can just take it off
although, It's not reusable for anyone else,
It wont fit,
It only can for that one person.
Only them as an individual.

I've asked before,
In my own kind of way.
where they've gotten theirs
but, they seemed confused

"friends
people"

"You can't just get one,
why would you even want one?"

-I just do.

"Is it for you?"
"Is it for them?"

-Don't ask.

I leave and go home,
I should look in a mirror..
Maybe that will help determine a size.
I'm afraid to tho..
whenever I look, it's never the same as the pictures
not anymore.
why are the pictures on the wall so different?

-finally face to face

I feel my skin
I look in my eyes
although, every time I see another guy..

-wait...

I think I found one,
what I've been looking for,
and I've been wearing it all along,
masquerade I endure.

I try to take it off,
it's really sticking on tight.
The skin finally rips,
I see myself in sight.

The pictures looked the same again
just a little bit dim,
In fact that's the same face.
Its just always been hidden.

I couldn't believe it though,
That's what I looked like.
I almost forgot..

I've had what I was looking for,
a mask to cover my face.
What I didn't know was,
that the mask was fearsome itself.
Had it almost consumed me entirely,
While I was looking for a new one..
or one in general.

I can see my face again
all grey but, with circles of light around my eyes
a glimmer of hope.
I no longer see that other guy.
the mask can only fit once
so it's all okay.

This is the last thing I can say,

Just don't lose yourself under your own skin,
Always know there's another day.
Never forget there's another way.
To express towards others or yourself,
That you have the strength to admit for help.

Just look in the mirror
tell me what you see,
are you wearing a mask?
or are you free?
