i'll let you just ignore me,
if that's what you want to do;
you can sit there and abhor me
if it makes it easier for you

your kindness turned to anger,
your words no longer sweet;
so, please, tell me how you hate me,
if that makes you feel complete

your stares no longer caring,
your touch no longer warm;
so, tell me how i'm terrible
for ringing the alarm

but there's one request,
to which i cannot comply:
to hate you, i must protest -
i still don't think you're that bad a guy

She can walk
          between
             night and day
               never letting either
                  get in her way.
She learned this trick
                     many moons ago
                                by
                     going deep within
           and never letting it show.
Her soul is innocent
her heart is pure
she’s gone through more
than most could endure.
            She’s an angel of light
                 an angel of dark
                 you never know
              what you will spark.
                      You want to hurt her?
                         Please, go ahead and try
                           she’ll be the one to show you
                                  just how well she can
                                                              f
­                                                                l­
                                                                ­  y.
                                  Her soul innocent
                    her heart pure
      but never think for one minute
that she’s not secure.
                                Say what you will
                          please, do what you must
                       but your jealousy and hatred
                             won’t waver her trust!

there are nights
most nights in fact
when i feel truly alone
in this existence
completely and utterly
disconnected to everything
and everyone else around me
on nights like these
i stare at the stars
and they remind me of you
sometimes, just sometimes
i wonder if you feel the same
and when you gaze out
into a midnight sky
do i still cross your mind

You say you love me,
But love is what you didn't give me.
You were not love,
You were lust,
I was love.
I was supposed to be your light.
But you blew me out.
Now I'm all alone,
Asking myself,
If you were really the one,
If you were really love.

The best kind of sunsets I think,
Are the ones that turn the whole world pink.
The ones that seem to make my soul,
Feel like it's been dipped in gold.
The ones that I can watch for hours,
Staring at the sun as it cowers.

My beacon of hope,
Shining so brightly among darkness.
Beauty that brings me to tears,
Night after lonely night.
Sometimes she leaves
But she will always come back.
And one day,
I will reach up and hold her,
And all that was wrong, will be right

I find comfort in the stars
Because they do not hold
The ability to leave me
Like so many others have
