Darling can't you tell me,
You're still innocent inside.
Please baby, whisper you'll be fine.

I know you're sick,
And you feel your skin stretch.
But I'd tear off my own skin,
To make you feel beautiful once again.

I hear it in your voice,
See it in your eyes,
Each bite fills you up,
And prepares you to die.

And you just kept purging,
And somehow I didn't know.
I'd sell my soul for less,
Than to just make you whole.

I miss your smile,
Before you found your taste.
Baby please rethink it all,
You know not what you waste.

Now please don't cry,
Take my shoulder while I sing a lullaby,
So you can sleep,
And feel beautiful in your own skin.

My heart started to rot,
In eighth grade spanish class,
That moment you danced into the room,
A spotlight on your smile.

I say it started to rot,
For it knew I will never know your love.
But what's the difference,
Between misery and ever after?

My heart began to rot,
When you took my hand and ran.
Rain pounding down,
Cascading around the halo on your head.

I say it started to rot,
For I knew then you loved me too.
But what's the difference,
Between having him or having me?

My heart began to rot when I saw his smile,
And I knew mine would never compete.
And how his hand fit with yours,
While you held him to your breast.

My heart began to rot,
Oh so long ago.
And now there is nothing more,
Than darkness where you once were.

Beautiful, your anxious eyes,
Make me see home again.
I hope I never have to live without you,
Not again, oh darling, bring me in.

Beautiful, your nervous laughter,
Reminds me of times long past.
Take my hand, hold me tight,
Kiss me lightly, love me fast.

Why not one more night,
Why not one more time?
Just one kiss goodbye,
Love me sweet, make you mine.

And my word's can't bring you in,
I can't write you home.
So I'll just keep writing,
And let my heart roam.

Why not one more night,
Why not one more time?
Just one kiss goodbye,
Love me sweet, love tonight.

Where did he go tonight?
Please say he's gone for good.
I'll wrap my arms around you,
Just to love you like he never could.

Please say you remember,
That night we sat in my car,
And talked for hours,
Before I carried you home.

Please say you remember,
How your hand fit to mine.
How your arms wrapped so gently,
Around my neck.

Please say it.

Please, just one more time.

Tell me he's gone,
Tell me his blood's on the walls,
For all I care.

Just so I can take his place,
Where I belong.
I hear his voice,
Where did we go wrong?

I wish he could feel,
The scars you've cut into me.
And I just wish,
That he would leave.

I'm a grain of sand,
Beneath the soles of a prophet,
In the desert of time,
Insignificant, yet...infinite.

Lost,
Time flowing smoothly,
Unstoppable, a force to reckon,
The sun pounding the prophet's back.

I am the book,
Hidden in his satchel,
That tells him to just,
Take another step.

Parched lips speak prayers,
Ignorant in my ears.
Beams shone upon him,
He is enlightened.

To speak to God.
How mighty it must be.

There is no air around me,
I found myself locked in.
The light was shining brightly,
But now the room is dim.

No windows or holes to crawl through,
No help is coming for me.
I cannot breathe any longer,
I wonder how death will be?

The suit I wear protects me,
Keeps me breathing still.
But if I shed my clothing,
Will my lungs have their fill?

I cannot keep on questioning,
It is time to try it out.
So I shed my suit of armor,
And with it all my doubt.

The pressure is too much,
I am caving in.
As my lungs fill with darkness,
I am filled with Sin.

You asked me once to write you a story,
I tried, and I failed.
You asked me once to write you a song,
But I couldn't remember the good through the wrong.

I see shadows all around us,
Darkness personified.
So I sat to write you a poem,
And I can say I truly tried.

The darkness closes around me,
I cannot see the light.
I close my eyes to pray,
That all will be alright.

Sadly I see the darkness,
In your eyes.
And I hope it never comes,
When we are forced to goodbyes.
