I don't know what hurt me,
So badly that I cannot open up.
I don't know the exact moment,
When I felt life was just too much.

I couldn't tell you whatever happened,
That made me feel dead inside.
But I can tell you a needle and pills,
Makes my mask slip away and hide.

I don't know when it became so important,
For me to lose my sobriety,
And God, I couldn't begin,
To explain why I hid from society.

I'm so done with living in this world,
But the drugs just won't let me die.
I need some serious help,
But I don't know how to ask for it tonight.

I know the ****** or morphine or whatever the ****,
I put into my veins each day,
Keeps me feeling normal,
And keeps me slightly sane.

I know I'll never hear the voice of my father,
Or be able to show my mother the love she deserves.
I know my younger brother,
Will one day wonder what killed me so many years before.

I'd like to say I'm sorry,
To the girl I love with all my soul.
I'm oh so sorry baby,
But I shall never, ever become whole.

You'd be better off without me,
Just like my parents had I never been born.
Perhaps my father may still be living,
Perhaps mother may have never needed to mourn.

I'd like to say I'm sorry,
That there is no reason for my living death,
However, long ago I swear,
I thought by twenty one my heartbeat may have left.

So I suppose I'm sorry,
That any of you ever needed to meet me.
And I am so very sorry,
That I lived through the needle that should have let death be.
Aaron Reisinger Jun 2014
You've become a twisted tree,
Gnarled knots and roots dug so deep,
They've planted you right where you stand.

I picked an apple from your bows,
Climbed so high for what?
To taste something,
Something so sour I wish I never bit.

You said to use your limbs,
To build my broken home.
But I crawled into your trunk,
And settled into your bones.

I made my way down to your roots,
And planted my own seed.
I want to see you try to move,
When my roots entwine with yours.

I made my way up to your highest branch,
And took away the clouds,
Plucked off all of your fruit,
Just to make my way back home.

Now they plan to chop you down,
To build a highway where you stand,
And somehow I'm nowhere to be seen,
When you need a helping hand.
Aaron Reisinger Jan 2017
Your breath shook as you looked at me,
With hooded bedroom eyes,
And I can honestly say that in that moment,
I found my heart beating to the rhythm of your words.
Aaron Reisinger Nov 2016
Take these memories from me,
Throw them way out to sea.
Kiss my lips and let me sleep,
For all eternity.

I won't be calling,
I swear I won't write.
I promise I'm falling,
Into eternal sleep tonight.

Whisper your lies in my ear,
Tell me you love me on last time.
Hold me tightly and promise,
You'll always be mine.

Your velvet words fill my dreams,
With a longing of your touch.
Your words ring circles in my ears,
Now I love you far too much.
Aaron Reisinger Jul 2014
I don’t know how to save me,
And I know I’ll never be alive,
But there’s something about you baby,
That makes me wanna try.

Day by day,
Night by night,
I fake a smile,
And put out delight.

I know I’ll never be alive,
And I know I’ll never love again,
So I hold out for you baby,
And I learn how to bend.

On one knee I pray to God,
That there will never be an end.
But I know someday baby,
I’ll just be another forgotten trend.

Day by day,
Night by night,
I fake a smile,
And put out delight.

I know I’ll never be alive,
I know my heart’ll never beat again,
So I hold out for you baby,
And I learn how to bend.

I wait until the darkness comes,
And puts out the light,
And then my friendly stranger shows,
Such a wonderful delight.

He smiles and he laughs again,
But I know he’s just a fake.
Because he’s riding a white horse,
And he’s strung out for God’s sake.

Day by day,
Night by night,
I fake a smile,
And put out delight.

I know I’ll never be alive,
And I know I’ll never breathe.
But my heart is yours baby,
Until you decide to leave.
Aaron Reisinger Jul 2015
Does anyone know where home is,
When you don't know where your heart went?
I've ghosts inside these thin walls,
And I hear screams each time I look inside.

Has anyone seen the key to my house,
Or did they take it away
And place it on the pyrr
When they turned you to ashes?

Has anyone seen my home,
I'm so lost I don't know,
Where it is anymore.

Has anyone seen my home?
The one with the white door,
And large glass windows,
That allowes light into my life.

Have you seen me these past few months,
They say I look better.
If only they knew,
The truth of the matter.
Aaron Reisinger Jul 2013
What ever happened,
To the games we used to play?
Hide my heart,
It's beating for you anyway.

Ashes to ashes,
Dust to dust.
Can you fix my soul,
So covered in rust?

We used to talk for hours,
I'd dream of what we'd be.
But now it seems it's always,
Just my endless soliloquy.

It's over,
Your love is gone.
And I cannot remember,
What we did wrong.

Like waves on open shores,
You beat against me.
And I promised you the sort of thing,
That I knew could never be.

I promised you the world,
And you took mine.
Now I know that I will never,
Have you in time.
Aaron Reisinger Feb 2015
It has been ten dreamlike days,
And nine sleepless nights,
Since I found my father,
So still, his eyes void of light.

Even when my head is foggy,
Whether it be ***** or dope this time,
I find I cannot sleep,
I see you lying there behind my eyes.

Dad I just want to die,
It hurts so ******* much,
And no one understands,
Even the most potent narcotics cannot heal me.

They all expect me to be fine,
But it's been so long since I knew what that word meant.
Now with you gone I'm afraid,
Mom might have to bury me next.

I just want to close my eyes and go to sleep,
Like you did that night all alone.
I wish I'd found you sooner,
I wish I had ******* known.

I know I can't go any time soon,
I promised I'd take care of Elijah.
He's so young he doesn't understand,
Lucky him, he's not the one forced to be a man.

Can't you just come back,
And hug me one last time,
Dad I know I promised,
But there's no way Ill be ******* fine.
Aaron Reisinger Dec 2016
I'll be your alpha and omega,
The beginning to a beautiful end,
If you'll just stay here with me,
My most intimate friend.

I'll crawl into your body,
Settle deep within your bones,
You'll need an autopsy,
To dredge me from my new home.

They'll all tell stories,
Of the kind of love we have,
If you'll just stay with me girl,
We could forget our ****** past.
Aaron Reisinger Mar 2017
I know not,
The word defeat,
Though I comfortably use,
The term tactical retreat.

I know it sounds awfully proud,
Of me to say I rarely lose,
But know I mean only,
In terms I care to use.

I've lost games of chance,
Or sports at play,
But know of the things I care for,
I'll never see a defeated day.

Few things on earth keep my attention,
And fewer still do I hold close,
But darling know if love is truly a game,
I surely will not lose.

For when it comes to you,
I know not the word defeat.
And I certainly will never employ,
A tactical retreat.
Aaron Reisinger Apr 2014
You tore me apart starting with my heart
And ending in my head.
I still can't count the number of times,
I thought I'd be better off dead.

It started with your eyes,
And ended in your word.
Your smile was the perfect picture,
Your voice the sound I wish I never heard.

Somehow I thought I was too broken,
Too scarred to ever be repaired.
I never thought that love would be something,
That could cause me to be scared.

But an angel surprised me,
And took me by the hand.
Four years later,
She's made me understand.

I don't need to feel broken,
To feel someone's love.
And it's possible that,
You weren't sent from above.

Maybe you were my demons,
But she saved me from you.
And now I've found.
I'm the right one too.
Aaron Reisinger Feb 2015
Dad it's been three days since I found you,
They said you had died in your sleep.
Now I find myself drunk on *****,
At 5 am unable to get any peace.

I've handled it the way you'd think I would,
But I don't know how I'll fair,
When we see your open casket,
And all of the family there.

I just want to stay so drunk,
I don't have to see you lying there.
Even if my veins are filled with morphine,
I'm afraid it'll be more than I can bare.
Aaron Reisinger Feb 2015
I've seen my own blood,
Trickle down my wrist,
As the rush hit my heart beat
Shattered my reality.

My blood began to pour,
I think I hit an artery this time.
I want to care, I want to be scared for my life,
But the rush is all I know.

And now I feel my heartbeat slow,
Oh God, is this the end?
Am I going to die,
All for this horrid, oh so horrid, beautiful high?
Aaron Reisinger May 2014
I've been revisited,
By an old friend.
She sank her teeth into me,
Never let it end.

She said dear, why do you wait,
For something that can never be.
Why do you utter such words,
So very brazenly.

She said, if all those words,
Hurt like before,
Why do you stand there,
And stare at the door?

She said the darkness is loving,
Caring to the end.
So why not pull the trigger,
And be with an old friend?
Aaron Reisinger Jul 2013
Is it so early,
That you can't utter hello?
No more aspirations,
Of Heaven above, Or Hell below?

Too much time has passed,
Since we last spoke.
Your voice was my melody,
Your words, the song we wrote.

I suppose you couldn't listen,
To my dying benediction.
You're the needle in my arm,
The ****** to my addiction.

But ****, I can't sleep with you gone,
Something akin to a clear head.
And I hate every second,
When it's 3 a.m. and I'm lying in bed.

****, I guess it's over,
We're all said and done.
And I feel like I've lost,
While you say that you won.
Aaron Reisinger Jan 2017
You asked me why I love you,
And a million and one reasons came to mind,
But what I really wanted to say was that no one,
Will ever look at me the way you do,
And no one will ever calm the pain I feel in my soul,
Quite the same way you do.
Aaron Reisinger Feb 2017
The soft sounds of a piano,
Echoes faintly in my ears,
The keys hitting notes of melancholy,
As they speak of my greatest fears.

As the melody ignites my heart,
And sends shivers down my spine,
I'm reminded of those days,
When you were just mine.

And though it's certainly complicated,
And there's surely still a spark,
I wish for nothing more,
Than to hold your beating heart.

Please tell me girl,
Do you still dream of us too?
For now I listen only to sad songs,
That remind me of you.
Aaron Reisinger Feb 2013
These are the words we speak,
When pillow talk isn't enough.
I never knew you could be so weak,
Like a schoolboys words, as he tries to be rough.

In these gallows I found home,
A deadly game of love to me,
You're everything I'm not,
Everything I hoped I could be.

So I'll sing my songs
In hope your heart hears them while you sleep.
And I'll poison your dreams,
In hope my words will bury deep.

I can say im heaven sent,
An angel of despair.
I am more than anything,
You could ever hope to bare,
Aaron Reisinger Jan 2015
I went out on a limb that day,
When you pulled me outside,
And told me just how you felt.

I didn't know then what I now know,
That I'd fall in love with you so quickly,
That I'd yearn for your presence,
More than I yearn for the drugs in my veins.

I went out on a limb that day,
When I was still seeing what's her name,
And told you I had a phone call to make,
So that we could see where it would go.

It's been nearly five years and I can honestly say,
That for every mistake I've ever made,
I was rewarded with you,
Just for going out on a limb that day.
Aaron Reisinger Mar 2015
It's been nearly a month,
And I've spent more nights drunk,
Than I have in the last year,
Just so I can sleep at night.

Dad I wish you were here,
So you could see me clean,
And know that everything,
Would be alright in the end.

I overdosed yesterday,
And I swear on your grave,
The one I will never see,
That I prayed to you that everything would be alright.

I didn't pray to God,
If he even exists,
I prayed to you,
That I wouldn't black out.

I prayed that Raquel wouldn't,
Have to bury me,
That you'd keep me awake,
Long enough for the ****** to leave my body.

I wanted to die,
I swear to all I love I wanted that black abyss,
No heaven, no hell,
Just darkness.

I say I swear to God,
But I don't know if I believe anymore,
All I know is that I couldn't die,
Because now I have reasons to live.

****, I nearly went out the way I wanted,
Still young and high on dope.
But the thought of you kept me awake,
In the hospital parking lot.

I prayed mom didn't have to know,
Not that I'd care if the dope had done its job.
But the thought of dying in my sleep,
Made me puke.

Come on Dad,
I know you've no body to come back to,
Now that they've turned you to ashes,
But **** all if you didn't fight your way back to us.

It's been nearly a month,
And I've been drunk more times than I can count,
Just so I can sleep,
And not forget you.
Aaron Reisinger Apr 2014
I am Hell,
When the fires form my hands,
And gasoline spits from the veins,
I tried so hard to sew back together,
With an old syringe, needle bent and bloodied.

I am Hell,
When my eyes turn to coal,
And I breathe sulfur into your lungs.

I am Hell,
I've been burning for so long.
I am the pit,
Bloodied with the souls of the ******.
A lake of fire burning the clouds tonight.

And somehow you are Heaven,
With your blue eyes and innocence,
And the way you say God, when you barely believe.

You are Heaven,
In that tight red dress.

You are Heaven,
As we share my bed.

Somehow you're still Heaven,
Though your innocence is gone.
And somehow I'm still Hell,
When my intentions all go wrong.
Aaron Reisinger Jun 2014
Years have passed,
Since you last held my hand.
I still remember how it felt,
While we stood before our favorite band.

They sang away the night,
With words that told you how I felt.
Your skin so smooth on mine,
While we were engulfed in the crowd.

I have to say that,
Was one concert I wish not to end.
But as we filed out of the doors,
It broke my heart to bring you back to him.

And when the rain came pouring down,
While we ran to the cover of your dorm.
I felt as if the road were no longer rough,
That it had been smoothly worn.

And I thought that maybe,
You meant to be more than just polite,
When you offered me a chance,
To stay and spend the night.

Sadly, I had reasons I could not,
And began my weary drive.
Wishing that I had never left,
Wishing I had just arrived.
Aaron Reisinger Mar 2014
I have to say the world has changed,
Since I was twelve years old.
For now I've got travel marks, scars,
And the best of stories to be told.

My feet have become the wheels,
That bring me on the ride of my life.
But somehow there's no reverse,
No brake, no end to strife.

I can't go back, I cannot stop,
This vehicle needs a change.
For ofttimes my heart beats fast,
And sometimes it's quite strange.

Even when I sleep at night,
Rest my weary head,
I know I'm in a constant line,
Straight to the land of dead.

So I'll live my life as I see fit,
Never again be told.
For I've read my story once before,
In the stories of old.
Aaron Reisinger Sep 2014
She loved fire so much
That she set herself aflame.
But as all flames do,
She burnt out too fast.
Aaron Reisinger Dec 2014
Oh it's the last day of the year,
The year my family found everything out.
I've kept everything up for so long,
But a needle point drove me down.

I'm sorry mom and I'm sorry Dad,
I'm sorry to my whole family,
I'm sorry that chemical reactions,
Are the only thing that lights my brain.

I'm sorry I like dopamine,
And the rush that dope always brings,
I'm sorry a few pills keep me sane,
But hey, at least I'm still alive.

I'm sorry I'm such a mess,
And I'm sorry you found my needles grandma.
I'm sorry I hate living,
And I'm sorry life is just too slow.

I'm sorry I ever opened my eyes,
The night I dosed just a little too much.
I'm sorry I ever popped my first pill.
And I'm sorry to everyone,
Because I know I will never, ever have my fill.
Aaron Reisinger Aug 2013
You are the cigarette I smoke,
After the needle finds my vein.
The comfort in sleep so profound,
I thought I'd never awake again.
Aaron Reisinger Dec 2016
She smelled of lilacs,
And summer rain,
Of freedom of youth,
Of love and pain.

He looked as if she,
Were the sun, the moon and stars,
As though the universe spun,
Only around her.

She danced as though life,
Could end at any moment,
And kissed as though,
He was the air entering her lungs.

But she was the air he breathed,
The blood flowing through his veins,
And her laughter was the rhythm,
That set his heart to beat.
Aaron Reisinger Dec 2016
The beating of your heart,
Became my anthem long before,
The rhythmic rush of blood in my ears,
Dulled the sound.
Aaron Reisinger Jul 2013
My friends, they all are gone.
I've laid them to rest.
Shovel and blisters in my hands,
I've nearly conquered this test.

I've shed tears for the fallen,
But I know one day they shall rise.
In his tomb I'll find you,
I shall be your demise.

You pitiful wretch of a man,
The shell of what you once were.
I'd spill your blood for nothing,
For less I've done much more.

Fate would have it,
You live today.
But I'll see you in Hell,
I look forward to the day.
Aaron Reisinger Jan 2017
If I die tonight,
Know you're the last,
Thing on my mind.

As the sound of twisting metal,
And busted glass rains down,
Know I thought of you,
As I began to drown.

Through the fear and pain,
Amongst fleeting memories,
I remembered your touch,
As blood floods my lungs.

My vision begins to swim,
The darkness looms quickly in,
Through the tears streaming down my face,
You're the last thought in my brain.
Aaron Reisinger Mar 2014
I packed my bags and prepared for a night long drive,
Took a couple pills to keep me feeling alive.
Somewhere along the way I started to feel pain,
So I pulled to the side and put a needle in my vein.

I never felt so alive as I did on that trip,
Waiting til the last moments to get my fix.
I listened to Floyd the entire way,
And got my drugs without having to pay.

And each time I lasted just a few minutes more,
Many hours passed before I let myself cure.
And each time the pain became less intense,
I'd fill up my needle and lose all sense.

Somehow I survived that month long drive,
By shooting a few pills just to feel alive.
And somehow I'm stronger because of those days,
Now that I've lost all of my destructive ways.
Aaron Reisinger Jan 2013
Warmer times and colder hearts,
Lost ourselves in times apart.
I never thought Id see the day,
You fell right out of me.

Couldn't make this easy,
Leaving you behind.
Lost myself in blue orbs,
And light brown lines.

I can't say I've fallen,
Nor risen too far.
But Id rather stay here,
Than get lost in the stars.

I never let you go,
Never left you behind,
Found myself in blue orbs,
And longer lines.

I never let you go,
I'll never let you leave.
But make it easy for me girl,
And just let me breathe.
Aaron Reisinger Dec 2012
Tell me it's the air you breathe,
That's got me hooked like this,
Tell me I've stopped my lungs,
And detoxed from the air I missed.
Now life keeps coming my way,
Another night, another ******* day.
Long drives and headlights,
Just for a fix,
Baby tell me it's just the ******* air I miss.
Aaron Reisinger Dec 2012
You know,
Scarlet eyes bring me home.
Muddy fingertips and ****** fears,
Jokes laughed about from long past years.

Torn apart from legs and lace,
We've all seem to have forgotten our place.
Where did all my friends go tonight?
A sweet taste and bitter sight.

But you've all forgotten,
What it's like to forgive and forget.
I've lost myself,
In pages cold and steel hard wit.

Where did you go,
When did you leave?
Hold your breath,
You can no longer breathe.

Forgive and forget,
It's what friends do.
But you've all gone mad,
And can't remember what's true.

Rumors lost and friends misplaced,
I've lost you all in this rotting place.
Now all I've got is memories,
And a chemical taste.
Aaron Reisinger Jul 2012
She awakes from twisted dreams,
To find love nestled,
Between crossing streams.
Aaron Reisinger Aug 2013
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.
Aaron Reisinger Aug 2013
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.
Aaron Reisinger Nov 2016
My mouth waters when I think of you,
My tongue is blanketed with the taste of mud.
I bite my lip to **** the taste,
And coat my mouth in blood.

Couldn't we just leave things the way they were,
I just want you coursing through my veins,
But no one understands My ******* thirst,
For such enlightening pains.
Aaron Reisinger Apr 2014
Earth will not know tranquility,
Until everything made from men,
Is buried deep, drowning beneath the sea.
Aaron Reisinger Nov 2016
Come here darling,
Bleed with me.
Let's sit awhile,
So silently.

Just rest your weary head on me,
As I breathe in your soul.
Lose yourself in times long gone,
Your presence made me whole.

I feel you coursing through my veins,
You're like ****** for the sane.
Your visage lit up my whole world,
You lovely, beautiful girl.
Aaron Reisinger Nov 2016
Still my beating heart this time,
Stop my breath before I speak.
My eyes are growing heavy,
My knees have gone weak.

Close your fist around my throat,
Cease the flow of blood to my brain.
Your presence drove me crazy,
But your absence made me insane.

I cannot sleep in the dark of night,
Whenever I rest my weary head.
My mind stays fixated on,
Those last words that she said.

Someone please send me a prayer,
That it will all end tonight.
I pray to god for a car crash,
That may bring darkness to the light.
Aaron Reisinger Jul 2013
You took a piece of my heart,
That night you looked back at me,
And our eyes met,
But you took his hand and I let it be.

I read your poem again last night,
Trying so **** hard,
To tell if it was about me,
Like mine are all about you.

I cried myself to sleep last night,
Thinking of how you share his bed.
I couldn't think of us together,
Now these thoughts are stuck in my head.

I wished upon a Star,
That he and I could trade lovers.
And you and I could do nothing,
More than lie down and hold each other.

But I suppose my story,
Won't end in a happy way.
But I wish you never leave me,
I just hope you stay.

I guess it doesn't matter,
If you kiss him goodnight.
I'm used to feeling,
Like I'll never be right.
Aaron Reisinger Oct 2014
I need to fall apart again,
So I can write something,
Something so meaningful,
That the very act will cause my heart to stop.

I need to fall apart again,
But the truth is; I don't know how,
I don't know how anymore,
Now that I've really learned to love you.

Even as the morphine,
Stops to enter my veins,
And I feel myself sick from all the chemicals,
I cannot fall apart, I cannot fall again.

I start my downward slide,
Then I remember you laughter,
I remember your face,
And I find myself glued together.

I suppose my writing may die,
But I'm happy with you.
So if that's my sacrifice,
Then **** these words and **** me too.
Aaron Reisinger Apr 2014
I can't remember midnight,
When the morning sun rose.
And I cant remember the moonlight,
As you shed your modest clothes.

Perhaps I stared too long,
At the symmetry of your hips,
Or perhaps you thought,
I became addicted too fast to your lips.

Maybe You'll stay forever,
But tonight you're gone for good.
You're the darkness in my heart,
The part of me I never understood.

Now I remember midnight,
As the sun goes down again.
And when the night comes,
I find myself wrapped in sin.
Aaron Reisinger Jul 2015
You know I've fought sadness,
And the madness of despair,
I've broken my own body,
And I know I am prepared.

I've taken on my demons,
Fought and lost the war.
But something still binds me kindly,
Knowing I'll be around for sure.

I've felt the highs and lows,
That come with drugs and love.
I've felt the ***** of needles,
And the warmth of that rush.

I've known times so maddening,
I thought perhaps Id die.
Sadly there's a plan for me,
And I know naught why.

My body keeps on breathing,
My hearts beats shakenly.
I feel the darkness coming,
But somehow you light the way.

There's love in a needle,
A feeling so profound,
That I've come to you with sadness,
And left feeling proud.

I don't know why it happens,
But I know I've lived too long.
Give me my old sadness,
And calming of this song.

I've told so many lies,
Just to keep myself sane.
I've lied to people,
Just to keep away the pain.

I can tell you anything,
With whatever expression you need to see.
And I can always, at the drop of a hat,
Be whoever I have to be.

I know everyone around me,
And all of the cracks they try to hide.
But my guilded tongue,
Finds them every time.

I could tell you everything,
That you never wanted to hear.
And honestly after,
I wouldn't be any worse for wear.

I get no ball in the pit of my gut,
No butterflies eating me inside.
When I call you out on your secrets,
Those ***** things you try and hide.

You'd call me the Devil,
But truth to tell,
The Devil is honest,
Even in Hell.

It'd be closer to the truth,
If you called me a snake.
But I've no second skin,
So you can't call me fake.

Call me human,
That's all you can do.
And next time you ask me,
I won't lie to you.

I bite my lip and prepare to jump,
In my literary suicide.
I've got my diary scrawled over my heart,
And I've got nothing left to hide.

I'm an addict for your love,
But you don't exist.
We live in a world,
Of spelling errors and misprints.

So take your pen,
And sign your name on my soul.
Give me one last kiss,
Please, just to make me whole.

Tie the knot,
And kick the chair from under me.
This poem is all about,
Me just trying to let you be.

I fear the warm embrace of my bed,
The soft feeling of my pillow beneath my head.
I fear the sleep that takes me at night,
For my dreams are dark and devoid of light.

I wish I hadn't been the one,
To find you wrapped in never-ending sleep.
Now my dreams come to me unbidden,
And I often wake as my eyes begin to weep.

I dreamed you put a bullet in your head,
Just the other night.
**** all if I could say,
Sleep is my greatest fright.

There’s a stranger in my head,
There’s nothing left of me.
He’s clawing his way in,
And I’m holding out desperately.

Left in a jacket,
My arms tied behind my back.
Nothing all around me,
I’m missing this sense I lack.

He’s watching from the bars,
A wicked grin on his face.
There’s nothing left of me,
Nothing for you to trace.

This asylum is beautiful,
Horrid in design.
But when I find my room,
There’ll be no more me to find.

My blood splattered,
Across three hopeless walls.
I’m walking forever,
Stuck within these halls.

He’s taken over everything,
And found a door to my mind.
There’s nothing left for me,
Than to shiver and to hide.

Nothingness makes hiding,
Such a wonderful chore.
He’s in my mind,
He’s found my hidden door.

Sitting in the dungeon,
Of this deep dark recess.
I’m searching for a way,
To start over fresh.

If I could only wipe it clean,
And wash away this slate.
Then I could expel him,
And leave myself to fate.

Wiping away nothingness,
Is harder than it seems,
For how can I clean,
That which cannot be seen.

So take my heart,
And hold it safe.
I’m burrowing in,
And giving all that it will take.

Just promise you’ll be there,
When He’s gone from my mind.
It’ll take more than me,
To save what I can find.

This man in my dreams,
And the man in my mind,
Move so much quicker,
Than I can hope to hide.

So I give it all,
And you have my heart.
But it won’t be long,
Before I depart.

She said,
“Honey let me tell you what you mean to me.”
My reply whispered so softly,
“I could never mean the same you do.”

“You're so close to me I can barely breathe,
And I'm loving ever second of it.
But I think you want more,
Than a girl like me can handle.”

I left the room so I could pray,
She turned and left from the other way.
Nothing could have prepared me for this,
I never should have told her...

You'll never be a star to me,
You'll forever be the whole sky.
I'll hold out forever,
Til the sun explodes and I lose my thoughts.

Tell me,
What's it like to know you're loved?
What's it like to know...
What's it like to know...

You mean something, to somebody out there somewhere?
To know you'll never be alone.
I could follow your footsteps,
And still feel colder than stone.

So tell me darling What's it like to know,
You're loved,
You're loved,
You're loved and you'll never be alone?

Come on darling tell me,
I'll never be alone.
