Some say the world will end in fire,
Some say in ice.
From what I’ve tasted of desire
I hold with those who favor fire.
But if it had to perish twice,
I think I know enough of hate
To say that for destruction ice
Is also great
And would suffice.

Despite the screaming in my head,
The tears in my eyes
"I'm fine..."
Is what I said
"I'll be there in a few minutes..."
Then I put down the phone
And ran into the street
My suicide
"An accident" they'll say
The perfect plan.

The average person lies four times a day,
The most common lie is
"I'm fine"

I have cried
So many times,
Hidden and silent.

I have stared
At nothingness,
Felt my heart breaking.

I have waited
For so many calls
From you that never came.

I have believed
Everything that you said
I guess some weren't true.

I have been left
By you waiting for
The things you said you'd do

I broke my heart again,
Because I thought, finally,
I'll stop being used by you
Looks like I'm gonna have to sleep
Hoping I'll feel less sad when I wake up.

Can you teach me, make me see?
So much I've lost along the way
Remind me how, touch my heart
Make me feel, I've forgotten how
Consumed by chaos, lost in pain,
So cold inside just trying to maintain.
You touch my face, it hurts my heart
I look at you, we drift apart
You take my hand, I follow you
You have my heart, I'm trusting you

Silence mistaken for unintelligent thoughts. Inability to voice an opinion must be lack of one. How do you undo years of protection?
The life raft of self-reflection and silent contemplation still afloat,
Will I drown if I jump, or will I find water deep enough to stand?  And if I do, how far will I be able to walk?
You can't walk very far crawling
And you can't swim if you can't stand
And I wonder if the life jacket you're holding is my size

A clear blue night
Lightening in the distance
Thunder coming closer
I shut myself away to hide
But the lightening strikes
Once again I go numb
Free from pain..

Thunder echoing in my head
The sting of lightening on my face
The mist of rain runs down my cheeks..

The thoughts fly around in my head
Like a bird with no wings
Lost with nowhere to go
Yet, I always seem to be going the wrong way

I turn to find myself alone
Alone but not lonely
I yearn for someone...anyone
To come save me from this black hole
That keeps getting darker
Alone..... By myself
