Everything was black and white,
And then I saw you in colour.

If I ever saw you again
I would say
I'm sorry.
For everything that I've done.
But since I know I won't
I'll just scatter the words
In poems that I know
You'll never read.

Here lies the memory of a girl
Who used to have a heart of gold
Who was filled with warmth and happiness
Until the world went and made her cold.
Here lies the memory of a girl
Who heard music and sang along
But now she lays vacant with tears in her eyes
When she hears that exact same song.
Here lies the memory of a girl
Who wished upon the stars
But instead of counting wishes
She now spends her nights counting her scars.
Here lies the memory of a girl
Who would play in the rain,
And now she spends that time using it
To wash away the pain.
Here lies the memory of a girl  
Who didn't guard her heart
But who now has 6 inch steel walls
To keep it from falling apart.
Here lies the memory of a girl  
Who believed in happy endings
Who's heart is now broken
One she's constantly mending.
Here lies the memory of a girl  
Who is now dead,
Who paints art on her skin with needles
Replaced by the demons in her head.

I want to remind you of the sun,
Its light will come again,
And no matter how dark it seems to get
The darkness always ends.
And I know it may seem impossible
Like it will forever go on
But I'm telling you the darkest hour
Is just before the dawn.

Please take a breath and hear my words
For they were meant for you,
On the cold and bitter days
That you don't think you can get through.
I want to remind you that this life
May be hard but you are strong,
And anyone who says otherwise
Is straight up wrong.
I want to remind you of the sun,
Its light will come again,
And no matter how dark it seems to get
The darkness always ends.
And I know it may seem impossible
Like it will forever go on
But I'm telling you the darkest hour
Is just before the dawn.
Sometimes we fall and need help up
Because we can't do it alone
And if this happens please ask for help
Because I promise you're not on your own.
You've still got mountains to climb
So many things to do and see,
And I promise you it's worth it in the end
I promise you you'll be happy.

You have the power
Of the stars,
Oh hell,
The whole **** universe
Raging inside of you.
And that is how I know
That you will be alright.
