Long and low

My heart and soul

is torn once again

my music plays

yet no one sways

my heart hangs

long and low

Just as easy to be someone else

but would you be satisfied

you look like you just walked out of a cancer ward

your heart is showing

i can see you

the way you move your hair back

to make you feel less awkward

you look so uncomfortable in that skin

but it fits you so well

i want you to see how beautiful you are

how beautiful things can be

but your blinded

by all the darkness of the world

chin up they say

but the words slip right past you

that feeling of awkward is back

take another drag

you feel that burn.. thats reality

i am for a moment.

faded like dusk

a whisper

like the lingering smell of cigaretts

my touch cold like the wind in the early morning

but my skin is burning

i want to feel

but my mind wont let me

trapped in an endless cycle of self loathing

how can i be happy

i am only for a moment

haunted with the memories of happy faces

and cursed with the demands of my past

i cant keep this up my light is fading

don’t worry no one is really paying attention

walking ghosts whip around me like smoke

only to leave no trace

you are only for a moment

just as i am.

Take my heart and keep it safe because if i hurt it once more

I am afraid it might brake,

with scars and scraps its slow and low but with your help

we can make it grow

will fix it up and make it new

theres just one

problem ...I still need you................................

Shadows pass apon my grave

with wispers of my past day

with love and grace i come to

pass with happy faces in my

path now i know its ok to

say goodbye onto another day

Make it real dont be to slow

you never know when it will go

if you wait to long to act

it might slip by you way to fast.

Lets go back to before

lets not unlock that locked door

if i knew the pain inside i would

have left it far behind.
