If you're still fighting the fight
you're still getting
it right.

Never give in.

Black and withered
Condemned to hell
Nothing to care for
Nobody to live for

Lost beyond redemption
Charred beyond recognition
Pile of broken bones
Leaving behind a trail of discarded hopes

Soulless spirit
Wandering the earth
Darkness the only friend
Death the only end
I lay down to sleep
But I’m still awake
The clock keeps on ticking
Despite what’s at stake
My eyelids stay open
As the minutes, they pass
Lying awake with thoughts of the past
The moon fades away
And the sun starts to rise
Now all that I’m feeling
Are tears in my eyes
I never found dreamland
Oh, what a surprise
I must carry this burden
That I’ve come to despise
I tried to focus, I tried to count sheep
But I’m stifled and stirred
Still, I can’t fall asleep
I’m encompassed by darkness
Yet I can’t sleep a wink
I just ponder solutions
Until I’m brought to the brink
To the brink of destruction
Until I get some rest
And I fall into slumber
My mission, my quest

The ache of
another night
realizing that these
two hearts do not beat
for one another.
The pain of
another morning
yearning to wake up
next to someone
who cares.

The pain I endured
The dreams that stabbed like knives
Of happy times crushed by the reality of waking up
The trials of hell suffered
Because you were enough.

The sleepless nights
After forgotten fights
Pacing the floor
Instead of screaming and slamming doors
Because I allow you to be enough.

Then the photos
The memoirs of pure love
And enjoyment of one’s company
Made those dark times worth it
Because our love is enough.

I did everything
Wanted to be anything
Would have said or done
Anything
To embrace all of you and determine myself
It was enough.

I would not have thought
That behind closed doors
In a bed of roses and exchanged rings
Vows and silk white gowns
That all my efforts to pour myself into you
In hopes to be granted the chance to give you all of me
Would not be enough.

the air starts to heal
and the stars start to listen
the tears on her face
no longer glisten

we've been through so much,
and i thought i was ready to lose you...
but now that it's really over i miss you more than ever.
our relationship was toxic but your presence was the only thing that comforted me.
i used to pray for you to change and to be better for me but i know deep down you won't that's why i had to leave you alone.
you begged me to stay but i looked away.
i regret my decision more right now,
but i know we're not meant to be and that's the ugly truth.
i'm angry at myself because i don't hold any love for you,
just memories of you,
that's why it all feels so heavy right now.
i know one day you will move on and be with someone who you're willing to change for.
i just hope i'm not there to witness it.

For one could go, where butterflies churn
Where bottles pop and cheeks flush
But vacancy fills and hearts yearn
For once was held, is now a gold rush
