You are my brother, my friend, my confidant.
At times you serve as my rock, my reason to go on.
And the hard thing is to know you have to leave for Mom,
And that when I need you most you'll be gone.
But when you come home
You'll find a place beside me
And with any hope you'll find your best friend too
Where we can be young and free.
When you are away, know you aren't alone
And that we'll help you to be strong, to keep pushing on.
And when things are at their worst,
I will be here for you and for Mom.

What if I told you, with your footprints beside mine,
That with every step there was fear,
That a third set would start,
And yours would disappear.
And now I know, that erasing my set
Is the only thing I can do.
That even with all my love
I have to let you go, because it's what's best for you.
But to the end of my days my heart will be yours,
And I will always have a shoulder for you, my best friend.
To march through the pain,
Knowing you'll love him to the end.
Know that if l leave I have not abandoned you,
But simply that I know I'm not what you need,
And all I want is your pain to disappear
And for you to be freed.
So now it's my time to move on,
And time for me to be strong.
But no matter what happens or who I'm with,
I will always love you, no matter how long.

I'd give up my left arm to always be right beside her. My right arm for her to know she's what I have left and both arms to be able to hug her when's she away. I just don't think I have enough to give to get the courage to tell her when she's here.

There is a forest old as hillsides
tall, majestic, dappled shades
fall on ground beneath the silent
gnarled defenders of the glade.

There they stand in ancient splendour
many souls have passed their way
often used as welcome shelter
from the heat of summers day.

Sweet the air they breathe in chorus
our life's breath their lungs provide,
soaking up our daily poison
so that we may live and thrive.

You seas of men intent to clear them
citing progress, peddling greed
tearing roots from precious mooring
laying waste to nature's seed.

**** the beauty of a landscape
displace creatures for your need
rupture fragile ecosystems
scar the earth and watch it bleed.

To you I ask a simple question,
as I see the land bereaved.
What need has man of all this progress
when he can no longer breathe?

Don't worry I'll stop giving a ****
It's what you want, I'll stop fighting for you.
I'll take what I've been told
And I'll take the cue.
I'll stop trying to be that one
And I'll raise the flag, after I tear it in half.
Because I see now what you are,
Someone that I will never have.
So live your life with that ******* I see,
The *** must be good to not care about me.
I'll throw it all away
And finally accept the end.
Because all I'm ever going to be
Is naught but the best friend.
So go ahead, keep on doing what you're doing,
I won't try anymore.
I'll stop trying to be yours,
I'll just sit on the side and sleep on the floor.

It feels like my life is on repeat,
Going the through the same emotions every night.
Wishing that instead of a pillow,
I was asleep next to you, holding you tight.
That might I come home from work on Friday,
And here a "Mr. Hinkle" from behind.
Or with you sitting up watching movies,
Playing games until I feel like I'm blind.
Every time I come out to smoke I see you and my brother at the table,
Laughing as I stumble to the ground.
Running about the whole weekend,
Just wandering 'round.
But yet every night I'm here alone,
Not hearing your laugh, probably my favorite sound.
But constantly I get my hopes that I might come home to a surprise,
Yet you are nowhere to be found.
It's hard when you're so far from me,
Not being able to say what I need to say.
I wait for the day that you truly mean "I love you" as more than your best friend,
Because it hurts when it feels like I'm the only one who really means it that way.

I live life through music day by day
Just sitting, smoking, tearing myself apart
Seeing pictures and thinking thoughts of when things were good
Before you told me I couldn't take your words to heart
And every day you expect not to be sad or morbid
To live in the light, but how when my life had always been in the dark
To sit idly by and watch
When you were what finally again have me that little needed spark
And to expect me to be happy
Even when I have to be away from you
But you always fail to remember
That's it's hard to be a bright happy Emo
But through it all I try to stay strong
To walk with my head held high
And fall asleep with joy
Instead of a lonely sigh
And for the first time in my life, I have a goal
To wait and be patient and live without harm
To let fate takes it turn
Until the day I can hold you in my arm
