Do you see me?
When I wear my pain on the outside
In bright colors that beg and scream for your attention

Do you hear me?
When my demons call out your name?
Begging to be exorcised so freed so they can touch you

Do you smell me?
When I douse myself in the putrid smell of misery
And plead with you to wash away my fears

Can you feel me?
Lingering on your skin
Hoping to warm myself on the fires I started to within you

Can you taste me on your lips?
Do you relish the bitter-sweet aftertaste I left on your tongue
When I tried to **** the life out of you
To make you as empty as I am

As soon as you allow yourself to love someone, you allow them to hurt you.

Maybe I just didn't want to be hurt...

In this moment you are the sea with its 23 shades of blue
I am the horizon that gently caresses the ocean

In this moment you are the setting sky with it’s cool pastels and firey reds
I am the moon grateful for the love the sun shows by dying so that I could breathe every night

In this moment we are the wind and the leaves, locked together in a sultry dance; dancing to the tune of love

And in this moment we are two souls on a narrow path to our common destiny

What is it about the moment you fall in love?
I wish that my life will be this moment

In your arms, I'm most comfortable
It feels like we're two pieces of a whole
And we have melted together
It feels like I'm floating on the calm ocean
And it scares me
Because at any moment,
The seas could be violent
And I could drown

Don't fall in love
Don't open the window to your soul
Don't give away the key to your heart

Don't

Love is just a mirage
Pain is all that lies within it.
It's a slow kind of death.

Trapped

There's no gain, only loss
You lose yourself
You lose your happiness

Loss

Don't give away your heart
You may never get it back
It will leave a void in your soul

Heartlessness

Let’s play a game
Make believe is the name
Let’s transport to another world
Where you never were my Lord.

Make believe
As we deceive
Ourselves to forget
The sting of the hornet

Let’s pretend we never were
Then I never would have been broken like common glassware
Let’s pretend you never said all you did
That my feelings stayed forever hid


Let’s pretend we never loved
Your name on my heart was never carved
Let’s pretend we never shared
Thoughts and feelings that made us think we cared

And maybe if we pretend enough
I once again will believe in love
And if you become less than a memory
My purity will be restored to it’s former glory
