I feel something deep inside,
Every time I wish you were near.
I want to hold you again,
I miss your sweet smile.
You are different from all the rest,
And you use that to your advantage.
Time stops when I see you walk in the room,
I guess the moral of the story is...
I miss you.

Sitting in my dreary room,
Cold and drafty.
Space heater pumping out warm air,
Still I am chilled to the bone.
Shivering as I attempt to type,
Sounding out words with chattering teeth.
Physically drained from a long day at work,
It will lead to my untimely demise.
Searching for thoughts of comfort,
A reason to smile.
A text,
I smile.

Sitting in the darkness,
Wanting nothing,
Needing nothing.
The emptiness surrounds me,
No light for miles,
No hope to be found.
The darkness breaks me down,
Drains my spirit,
Drains me of life.
The darkness makes me cold,
Consumes me,
Corrupts me.

There's no place like the road,
The place I used to call home.
For four summers long,
I will sing this song.
The places,
The faces.
The sweat and the tears,
Hasn't been seen for three long years.
Going back on the road,
There's no place like HOME.

Night falls softly on her eyes,
Tears run down her cheeks.
She fears she is alone,
Abandoned in this life.
No soul to turn to,
No one to lean on.
Things may be bleak,
But this I know.
You my dear,
Are never alone.

Push back the night,
And crack the sky.
Have you ever stopped,
And wondered why?
Why stars fall into place,
Where is love's true embrace?
For the sake of all,
For the GLORY of none.
With all thoughts aside,
There is still only one.
One reason to fear,
Only silence to hear.
Stretched across the distance,
Pulled through the air.
Could leave you floating,
Would you even care?
Care for the one who falls,
Listening to old telephone calls.
Awake in this place,
Of silence and despair.
Only to find,
No one is there.

I bleed my words onto this paper,
My pain,
My thoughts.
Crimson red flowing,
Forming each letter carefully.
Every word,
Reveals my true self.
Bled out onto paper,
Nothing but words,
Nothing more.

Starry skies of old,
Meets new dawn of sunshine.
Moonlight emerges,
Only for a moment.
Then slowly fades,
Into the darkness of space.
Only to find others like it,
In the same space and time.

No matter how hard I try,I keep bleeding for you.You keep taunting me,Haunting me.Out of a clouded mind,I let you back in.Did my hurting heart take over,Or am I hoping for something unattainable?I'm bleeding out,You've cut me deep,And I let you do it.

Sitting,Waiting,Clouds roll in.Look to the sky,Head starts to spin.Eyes close,Head drops,Heart beat stops.Fall toward the grass,All time has passed.Breathing,Bleeding,Dazed and confused.Everything is fuzzy,No time to lose.Jump up,Stumble around,Catch yourself,Don't hit the ground.

I had the world on a string,
All within my hand,
But I grasped too tight,
And my love slipped through my fingers.
I thought I had it all figured out,
But I dwelled too long on my thoughts of the future,
And I lost sight of the present.
Now I stand here alone,
Tears in my eyes,
Hiding behind a mask with a smile.
No one needs to see my pain,
My broken heart.
I feel so lost,
A wandering hermit shall be all I am known as,
Feeling only like a failure,
A hero,
A prince,
No longer.

This night was a bust,
Time for me to fly.
Lose my persona of this world,
Spread my wings and take to the sky.
I will fly to the heavens,
Or plummet to hell.
I've lost all faith,
I don't care where I dwell.
I'll sleep below the crust,
Become one with my maker.
It won't matter to me,
As to who is my souls taker.
My heart will lay dormant,
Cold and alone.
Never to care again,
Just thought you should know.
I'm giving up,
And giving in.
This will not happen again,
This dagger in my back.
I'm gone with summers wind.

I want to help you forget,All the pain in your life.I want to be the one,To make you whole again.I want to be your world,And protect you.I just want to...

If you could see the scars,Of how many times I've been shot down.You may wonder why,I am still alive.I don't think you can see,The damage that has been done to me.Afraid to get hit again,Is why you don't see my spreading my wings.You make me want to reach the heavens,Show my true colors and fly.To spread my wings and fly again,Are you the reason why?

The hopeless romantic in me seems to be dead,
Gone and buried.
I used to care,
Swoon,
Write poems,
Make sweet gestures.
But that is all but gone,
Or just seemingly lost.
I used to carry myself with pride,
But I seem to be a shriveled husk of my former self.
I'd give anything to feel the flutter of butterflies,
The beat skipped in my heart,
Just losing my breathe,
One more time.

I woke up this morning,
Began to write this all down.
Couldn't seem to find the handle,
As everything began to fall apart in my hands.
Jumbled thoughts,
Mashed up feelings.
I just can't seem to shake it,
I've lost my touch.
Shake off the rust,
And get back to the basics.

Drowning in the world,
Screams muffled by nothing.
No time to breathe,
To slow down,
To stop...
Body ceases,
Eyes go blank.
The world is once more the victor,
And I am,
Nothing once more.

What ** beauty before me is this,
An angel amongst the common.
Nay I am not a stranger in the night,
But a slave to the mighty Cupid’s arrow.
Thou hast the beauty of Aphrodite,
And a smile that is as bright as a thousand suns.
Dost thou have a name?
For if thy name is as beautiful as a rose,
Thou wouldst be in my hands,
In my warm embrace.
Might I call upon thee,
Or shall my voice fall upon deaf ears?
For the beauty before my eyes,
Not only is beauty ever lasting,
But an angel amongst the common.

My heart is guarded by stone forged steel,
To let no one in I shall not dare.
Break down this wall,
Bring me into the light to shine.
To be one with the world again,
To love,
To feel,
To be.
I don't want to hold back,
But I fear I must.
To call upon the world again,
To only fall upon deaf ears.

Here I sit,
In this dark and cold room,
I miss you.

Let me go,
Why do you torture me so?
I'm done with you,
Do you not realize we are through?
Move on and leave me be,
Can you not see you are the death of me?

I feel like a fool when I'm near you,
I want to hold you.
I love you,
And no one knows but me.

lAying my Head down, cloSing my eyes, wishing to awake and find a surprise. Of you in my arms, no cause for alarm. Wishing these dreams to come true, as I dream of you.

I may not be the one you want,
But I am the one you need.
The one who will lift you up,
When I'm blind or drowning in the sea.
I have the strength to make you whole,
I will be your shield.
Protect you from everything that scares you,
Lay with you in grassy fields.
I may not be the one you want,
Give me chance and you will see.
I can make you happy,
Help you stay strong and believe.

There is something in the way,Trying hard to put my finger on it.Is it in your eyes,That I have wanted to look deep into.Is it in your smile,That makes me heart pick up tempo.There is just something in the way,You make me feel out of this world.Your smile,Your eyes,Just you…

I may not be the one you want,
But I am the one you need.
The one who will lift you up,
When I'm blind or drowning in the sea.
I have the strength to make you whole,
I will be your shield.
Protect you from everything that scares you,
Lay with you in grassy fields.
I may not be the one you want,
Give me chance and you will see.
I can make you happy,
Help you stay strong and believe.

I found out you were leaving today,
Going on a new adventure without me.
Then the bottom fell out of my stomach,
And my heart filled with remorse.
My insides are screaming don't go,
I've tried turning off my feelings for you but I can't.
You made me forget the world,
Forget my pain and sorrow.
If I were to bump into you tomorrow I'd break,
I feel like you are running away.
I know,
I've been trying to runaway too.
I just want to say,
Don't go

In this day of technology and social media,
Our worst fears and flaws emerge and are ripped from us,
Displayed for the world or strangers and friends to see.
We open ourselves,
Pour out our everything,
Hoping for a like,
A comment.
A sweet and innocent compliment is mistaken as "thirst,"
Men and women are victims to it's grasp.
All creeds,
Races,
Sexualities,
Religions.
All giving in to the grasp of self doubt,
Waiting with face pressed to a screen.
Hoping to feel validated,
Loved,
Or ignored.

The words I've written,
The words I say,
Bring me comfort on a rainy day.
Your presence felt,
Your presence lost,
I'd try to hold you at any cost.
As the sky falls to the ground,
And no one hears the mournful sound,
I shall go.
