nothing would make me happier
than to hold your hand for the rest of our lives
grow old with you
and watch our grandchildren play under
the magnolia trees in the summer sun.

Is it that I ran away,
Or did you not run after me?

If you’re the one that’s so concerned about the world ending
Why are you trying so hard to bring it to it’s knees?
i want to push the memories of last night away
too bad i've got to see your pretty face again today
everybody's waiting for us
i'd tell you to leave
but then i'd have no one left to stay
and really it only seems like that because i refuse to consider any of the other seventy options.
The only question is
"Why?"
The only question I have
Is "why?"
"Why am I"
"Why can't I"
"Why do I"
"Why should I"
"Why..."
Just,
"Why"
No longer sleeping
He sits awake in a forest of dreams
Shrouded in darkness
No more light to his path
He holds onto his pillow
Surrounded by the demons that haunt him
No longer knowing what is real and not
He clenches the pillow to ignore the pit in him
Suffering silently slipping off the edge
i may not be able to break your rules,
but they sure as hell won't break me.
it's just like tag, baby.

tug of war
at each end of my mind
one saying stay
and
one saying fight

each time stay wins
I'm paralyzed

each time fight wins
I'm antagonized

but when I'm stuck
in the center
_

I'd rather just
cut the rope altogether

The decision was final
But it wasn't mine.

An empty womb
An empty tomb

Not sure if it was their death
or mine?
