I have done everything for you
I even turned my life around
I even told you that I loved you
But this phrase you confound
You though I meant something else
When I said my love was abound
You though I meant something else
When I said my love was profound
The bird that once was my passion
Now crashed to the ground
I don’t remember its song
And I can’t recall its sound
Because the storm of your ignorance
Forced my our ship aground
I hope your tears as immense
That way you’ll drown
I blame my stupidity
For my mind being unsound
Or maybe it’s all the girls
That have been redound
Onto my long list
To create this compound
But then I met you
And my life unwound
I believed you to be different
And then I frowned
I believed you to be different
And then I found
That you’re not so different
Than other girls around
And just like theirs
I won’t let our bird’s song resound
No not this time
This time it will stay downed
It was damaged from last time
So it couldn’t have survived this fall
You broke its leg, wing and neck
So now it can’t even crawl
But I don’t care
That bird means nothing to me
Just like you
Another hole in my wall

While he held her near
He told her he loved her
He made it all clear
When it was just a blur
He erased her fear
And kept her life astir
She knew he was the one
He was something unique
When her life was undone
And her existence bleak
He gave her one reason to live
When no one was there
Though she had nothing to give
And her pockets were bare
The love they shared
Was extremely rare
But that doesn’t matter
Because life is unfair
He scrounged and fought
For days, months and years
Then went out and bought
A ring with two frozen tears
Before he asked her
He told all of his peers
He had no car
So he walked to her house
The idea was bizarre
Of her as his spouse
He would never reach that point
Unknown to him
Their lives would disjoint
His future was grim
The driver was drunk
He didn’t see her coming
His life was sunk
He just kept walking and humming
He crossed the street
The driver slams the brakes
He’s picked up off his feet
He’s alive in the air
Until he hits the concrete
Seeing what she’s done
The driver keeps going
The girl slumbes through her door
Never even knowing
After she gets the call
The tears don’t stop flowing
She wanted to be with her one
So she grabbed a gun
Whispered ‘I love you, and only you’
And ended her life too

I sit here thinking
This heart of mine
It just keeps sinking
Why heart? Why do you sink?
Why girl? Why must you wink?
Why do you have to love so hard
And why must mine
Be chained and bared
Locked in this cage
With no where to go
Locked in this daze
Where my mind cant grow
And its hard to stay above you
With a fading scream
My heart says to love you
But with confused cries
My mind says otherwise
So I’m still sitting in the mist
Trying to make sense of all this
My body cold in this chair
I feel a touch on my wrist
And on my cheek
A soft warm kiss
Then suddenly
I start to reminisce
Of the love and the bliss
I slowly life up my head
To see your beautiful face
And all the feelings I dread
Gone without a trace
But you didn’t hear what I said
You gave me no space
In a while well be back in this place
But deep down inside I thinks its okay
As long as we live to fight another day
As long as I make it to the morning
Just to hear you say
I love you sweetheart
So lets try again I want to restart
And hopefully we can make it
Through the next rough part

Sometimes my heart dies
And when that happens
My mind cries
And when that happens
My soul flies
And keeps on going
On a constant rise
To a place that sits
Well above the skies
And in that place
I need not a mask or a guise
Unbound by society's
Stereotypical ties
I am unaffected by
The world's maniacal lies
And in this place
No one says their goodbyes
Because no one has to
Ever meet their demise
And everyone loves
No one chooses sides
Everyone's loyal
There are no traitors or spies
No one is in competition
Because there is no prize
This is where I want us to be
For the rest of our lives
Because this is what I see
When I look into your eyes

I am the unbelievable phenom
That is the shoulder to cry on
And crutch to lean on
I am still standing here
When everything seems gone
I am the pillar of light
In this round room of darkness
I am the soulful passion
When everyone is heartless
When you have no wings
And can fly no more
I will lift you onto mine
And together we can soar
With the world on my shoulders
I must not fail
I am the strength
To those fragile and frail
But I am not a god
So do not pray to me
I am only a man
Who has a places to be
Things to say
And faces to see
In this world there are strong
And there are weak
If you are weary
It's my name you seek
So come brothers
And come sisters
Come Mrs.
And come misters
I am one of this life's
Few great listeners
So speak to me
And I shall speak back
I will be your shield
When yours is in lack

Mind forced to wonder
The planes of oblivion
Heart blackened and rough
Covered in obsidian
This is the damnation
Of the body I'm sitting in
Abandoned and hopeless
Im lying there helpless
And youre standing there selfish
You have done your damages
Rained your destruction
No need for bandages
They are only obstructions
Witness the wounds
Observe their infection
This is merely obsession
Filled with deception
Shackled and bound
By chains of depression
Now terrorfied to feel
Heart sunk in reccession
Once was full
But now only a cresent
A sliver a life
Cursed with agression
That only you can lessen
With you beautiful blessing
Just your pressence your essence
Is all I require
To lift me up higher
And escape this fire
On top that spire
Is the spot I desire
I will try to fly us
But my wings are so tired
From lifting you
Out of the brire
But I won't quit until we make it
Only then can I retire

My question to the world is
Have you ever been lost?
Or felt like no meaning?
Empty and cold
Like a drug addict fiending
Drop everything
Just to pick up nothing
Put up a strong front
When you knew you were bluffing
Now you're hollowed out
Like a turkey no stuffing
And the universe is on you
With weight so crushing
You're walking in slow motion
And everyone is rushing
You're falling behind
So you open your mind
Only to find
That it has been confined
Now I'm left in the dust
To sit here and rust
Hitchhike with this sign
That says "Sanity or Bust"
