I often lie awake at night
To avoid seeing you in my dreams
Only to think about you constantly
Missing you
Is only half
Of the void I feel

I've fallen hopelessly in love with self destruction.
Every warning I hear is a cheer.
Send my regards to redemption
Cause my destiny has been written on a block of cement
Tossed into the bluest depths
I'll greet rock bottom with a kiss

If there were words for this
Perfect words for this feeling
Then maybe there'd only be one
Poem, song, book, film
But there are no words
To describe this burning absence.
So I'll write another poem
About you.

Lets talk about your demons
And all your past mistakes
I want to know
All the emotional holes
And valleys
You've tried so hard
To forget
I will love your shadows
Like they are light

I will tell you my fears
And how they shake the ground
I will watch you
As you nod and frown
And you will say
You understand
Just wait till they start to infect you
You wont truly know
Till you're broken
