One look
is enough to get me confused
Is everything ok?
Of course, I was just asking...

Moments at time
feel completely normal
Then the cold creeps back in
and I'm lost in your look again

As I begin to walk away
it almost hurts that you don't stop
and turn to look at me
...almost

I always come back
because I have grown to love you
Even if you hate me
like the others do

We have changed together
What's stopping us from growing together
When did we become strangers
Resent me anymore and I’ll break

They think you're great
often I'd agree
but lately, you're a puzzle
I lost the last piece to

I'd ask you to fill me in
but we both know you'd lie
for better or for worse
you don't want me to cry

I know this hurts me
and I leave every day
an ache in my stomach
and a buzz in my head

but does it hurt you
to leave me
and forget
all the beautiful things we have created

You and I
and you and us
We are...
We were beautiful things

There is no respect
in fear, rather compliance
Respect comes in love

Be ye not conformed
the trivial things of life
instead, be renewed

when people are in love
they often say
they simply fell
tripped over their own two feet
face forward
and into the arms of their beloved

i did more than simply fall
onto the ground of your love

you, for me
were an ocean
and i dived
headfirst
roughly
harshly
almost painfully
into the waters of “you”

i knew i could not swim
but i did so anyway
i was drowning
entangled in you
surrounded by this being of “you”
engulfed in this feeling of “you”

and i did not know what came over me
but i let myself drown
i did not try to swim back up
because if i went back to land,
releasing myself from your grasp
that would mean losing the feeling of “you”

and after
submerging into the depth
the love
the passion
of “you”

how could i ever leave?

They were kids I once knew
Kids my heart once loved

The lights in their eyes danced
The warmth in their touch burned

If you see it you could believe me
If I said so you wouldn't believe me

Your lips form I do
But you don't deceive me

Burning hands are everywhere
They're everywhere

Tell me everything that happened
Tell me what they looked like

They were someone I once knew
They moved forward

Did you see the shaded window
Did you see the bolted door

Are they afraid of you?
Your hands- did they touch them?

Did they seem so real to you?
Your eyes- could you see them too clearly?

It's hard to know that you're still caring
But they're out there

Now they're all dead to you
They're all gone

My heart died
And I still don't believe you

I'll love you forever
                                                 Remember the time when we were lovers?
Your smile ingrained in my mind
                                                 Your anger branded into my soul
Always so kind
                                                 You never loved me back                        
I wanted to hold you forever
                                                 You're impossible to forget
I think about you all of the time
                                                  Your first beat upon my chest
I'm so glad to love you
                                                   I wish I'd never known you
Murmurs spilling out of your sweet lips
                                                   Anger spewing from your mouth        
I tell you all of my secrets
                                                   A stranger knows all of my secrets
We're inseperable
                                                   Your back was all I could see
I love you...
                                                   ...I hate you

I'm blending into these white walls
Silence to be heard
hands claw at my lips
Shredded skin
****** words spill

Stares
