I'm the dust caught in the wind
Another raindrop upon your skin.
All the words that you couldn't say,
Another scar that I can't erase.
It's not the same, no, it's nothing like the past,
I can't help myself from always looking back.
I wanna live again in those better days,
I swear I can't stand how time makes everything change.

I guess this is to the past,
I guess this is to growing up,
Those were the best summers I ever had,
Now it feels like it's closing the door on us.
Where will you be when I need you "now"?
how will you be able to hear me call your name?
Can't you feel me reaching out?
I'll do anything to make you stay.

I walked through a field of graves today,
And as the shadows of tombstones danced at my feet I thought about all of the times I wanted to be lying here six-feet under.
Through my trials of error I thought I had seen it all, but with every hardship I come to accept and handle head-on, I find myself starring into the eyes of a new fear.
Sometimes I tremble, sometimes I fall, but I always get back up.
I will never let the idea of failure bring me down, mo matter how consuming it may be.
So with sore shoulders and weary feet, I'm here at the entrance of all the souls that said goodbye,
Trying to find a place to rest; amongst shadows of tombstones and all these broken things.

I almost
forgot to
tell you
about
how the
stars
shine off
your smile
and the
setting sun
looks better
in your
pale blue
eyes.
and all
of the
woods and
desserts,
I'll set it all
on fire.
      And we'll
burn together
never questioning
how it could
have been.

There is a ton of beauty
and innocence in this world,
and I'd like to believe that
most of it
lies within your eyes.
I understand that I'm no saint,
and that there has
(and always will be)
consequences for my actions.

This path to hell
was most certainly paved with
my best-intentions.

I like to
    pretend
that
I have things
    all figured-out...

Because    most    of    
             the    time,
                    I don't.

You should be kind
for the sake of being kind.
Not because a higher power
told or asked of you to do so.

Treat others
the way you want
to be treated.

We were taught this back in
Kindergarten,
so why is it so difficult
for people to understand?

and I will
bare every
burden
that it brings
me.

Why?

Because you
are worth
it.

and you
will be
loved
by the ones
who matter.

Why change
for the ones
who
don't?

I heard that loose lips sink ships,
But I refuse to stay silent.
You can try to bring me down,
But I'll still stand defiant.

My time is now
You can't take that from me.
Why do you always try
To cut me down at the knees?

I know you can't stand it;
I know you want these feelings to die.
So keep feeding me your excuses,
Because I can taste all the lies.

Walk a mile in my shoes,
Then just maybe, you'll see.
We grew apart,
Because your love was a *******
                                            Disease.

The future is bold


         and out of sight.


                    You'll be all right...


        We'll be all right...

I relax
with nature
every single night;
I feel her in
the warm wind
sweeping over
my body.
              And in the mornings,
           she shows
     her face
     in my
     cups
   of
coffee.

It's nice to see that
there are still people
in this world
that continue to do
good deeds on
a daily basis-
without their intentions
being of praise and glorification.

Good deeds should be done
because its RIGHT.
Not because
you might
get some sort
of "prize"
out of it.

I take a hit of a cigarette but see no smoke.
I know it's lit; I can see the cherry red ember reflecting in your crystal blue eyes with every drag I take.
You keep smiling at me as if I just cracked a joke.
Although its beautiful,
I cannot fall for that sinister look.
Now you're telling me that you need to feel whole.
Grabbing at my hands as if I was about to let go.
And you can see it reflecting in my eyes
         That I wanted so badly
              to kiss your lips.
I take another hit and see no smoke.
Could this be a dream
          or something so much worse?

The
Children
Can't
      Sleep
At night...

    ...And
We're the ones
Protecting
   Them...

I fell in
    love with you
    during a
    game of
    cards...
                         You played a
                         queen of spades
                         and I played a
                         king of hearts.
You may have
lost this hand,
But you gained
mine.
                        So I will
              forever hold
        you by
my side.

Everything you ever wanted;
everything you ever dreamt about.
They're all just sitting
at the top of
the stair-case
         that we call
                    this life...

         All you
      have to
   do is
step.

When I'm doing
something wrong;
        tell me.

There seems to be
                                nothing worse
   than false hope.

Shadow of my love
You come and go with the sun,
And when you fade away;
I know the day is done.
Heartache of mine,
Why must you cause me so much pain?
I know that I am breaking,
Yet, you remind me anyway.
Lonesome hope,
You seem so dull.
I can't blame you
Since life's so cruel.
And like a piece of kindling
Before it catches spark.
I'm sitting here sound,
Waiting in the dark.

We worry
about tomorrow




   what a waste it'll be when we don't wake up.

I'm sure you
were expecting
something after
"love."

But It doesn't
always work
that
way.

(15w)

If there's one thing
In this life
That I want
To see
For all of
You.
      It is for
            All of
               You
                 To be
                    Content.
Not only
With who you
Are,
But also
With everything
You've done
And everything
You will do.

Interests
bare
questions
only
inspiration
can
answer.

Thanks for the inspiration,
And all your broken things.
These moments of silence
Are barely holding me
               Together.

So, don't be the one
That shatters my sanity
With the echoing sounds
Of distant cries
Originated from things like
            Lust and love.

Let me
move you
like this
pen.

I can't
promise I'll
stay in
the lines.

I won't smite anyone
when the wretched *****,
that is life,
comes to take what's
rightfully hers.

I won't even ask
to be forgiven
or recognized
for everything
I have done.

I hold the weight
of all whom once lied
before me.

              When can I let it go?
     When can I let go?

Understanding
who you
are & used
to be
       is perhaps
the greatest
      kind of knowledge.

I'm just floating in the wind.
Going
        wherever
                  I feel
      the need
                     to be.
I'm just floating in the wind.
     Trying
             to
              let
          my mind
             run
  
                                                                     free.

I'm trying to run but I can't hide.
So if you find me I won't be surprised.
Please, tell me all your plans,
And I'll do my best to understand.

I can't believe,
What you've done to me,
And I cannot breathe,
I'm drowning in,
    All your apathy.

I'm looking for the pieces of my pride,
I lost it all in the seems of time.
I do not care for the pain,
I have what I need to make it all go away.

I can't believe,
How could you do this to me?
It's getting hard to breathe,
     I swear I'm drowning
In all your misery.

Tell me you lost it,
Tell me you lost it,
Tell me anything.
Make this all okay.
I think I'm beginning to
            Suffocate.

My choices
are my
choices.
      I'm not expecting
      everyone
      (or anyone)
to understand
      why
or
      how.
I just ask
that you'd
please keep your
comments
       to yourself.

There's not much
You can really
Do about it.
        It's
Something
       You eventually
Let go.

And when you
       Do.
All the
   Little
    Moments.
Really don't
     Seem
That
        Small.

To the moon,
to the stars;
I'll fall
from
everywhere
in between.

But will
I fall for
you?

People supposedly fear
what they do not know.
It makes me question
as to why people
also fear
the truth.
         As if it
         shouldn't be
  *spoken.
