I remember the last night with you.
Where 8 inches was too far away from me. So I pulled you closer to me and held on right.

But look at us now.
We couldn't be further apart.
If something means a lot to you, know that one day you may lose it

Sam
In the darkness of the night
I lay among the dead
Tucked between the tombstones
I gaze upon the stars
For the briefest moment
I wonder where you are
Only to remember
You really aren't that far
You're right here next to me
And embedded in my heart
As much as I pretend
I can't outrun the truth
Despite your presence with me
You still sleep beneath the grass.

You're a product of your surroundings.
For things that won't be mentioned.
He did things to you and now you're broken.
And I remember the night your head met my chest, even just as friends.
Can anyone save you from yourself?

I came here for solace and remission, peace and reflection.
Because I've discovered the heart will point you in the right direction.
It'll make you do loads of stupid ****,
But don't give up on it.
You're just meant to learn and continue, like a green mushroom you picked up in your living room.
Because history can help make you, but your heart defines what you hold true.
So give a helping hand to a sister or brother, so you can hold your head high having done right by your mother.
I keep tabs on my past to find out if I'm on the right Trail, but I really think we're supposed to fail.
Life is meant to be hard, but keep looking out for life's mushrooms, and rise above and fly far.
You're meant for something greater and I know **** might just totally **** *** right now, but I promise you, it gets better. If this is a mushroom for you, take it. Message me and I'll do what I can from here. I love all of you.

It's taken me so long
To see through her smile.
Don't think it's not genuine,
It's the purest of them all.

But behind that smile is someone.
Something.
That loves you.
For who you are.
And they'll always know what to say.

She's there when you need her to be.
And I love her.
She deserves the world.

And she'll make sure she gets it.

Done days we feel it,
The impending doom and dread.
Where we feel alone.
Where we simply feel dead.

But maybe were supposed to.
..
Feel the darkness' shadow.
Just because you can't see me,
Doesn't mean I'm not alone.

But I am and I'm not.
I'm alone, but alone with all of you.
Where the list and confused,
Can come here and feel true.

If I'm not with you, I'm with someone else,
I have to decide what's best for myself.
My mental health.

Looks like I'm here to stay.
Haven't found anyone who can pull me away

You didn't leave because you wanted to.
You didn't even leave because you had to.
You never left, but you just aren't here.
This isn't about you, this is about my best friend who's no longer around.
I love you, kitty.
