I'm reminding you I'm lost
but subconsciously I'm not,
cause I think you're the only one that gets what I've got
you give me butterflies like gut rot
and you've got my tongue in knots
doing what I can to not let it stop
cause you picked up the weight but don't let it drop
I'm invested in this now and can't afford the loss
my heart was locked before you opened up shop
turn the radio on and sing to me Aseop
I'm now on a mission, make sure i'm out of earshot
cause when the truth comes out, I won't give it a second thought;
Remind myself I'm worthy of everything I've got
Because weakness is not an option, and you are not a God,
Confidence forgotten, I realished in what I'm not
and then the clouds they cleared and relvield was the plot
I let my gaurd fall loosely, I felt my heart unlock
suddenly reminded the key does not belong
ripped out of the hole, thrown down the block
I am standing on my own, my vision seeing spots
Today will be the day, I will take the shots
...
From your 7 shot revolver, 6 had them stunned
Only 1 left, and with it you took the sun
"your order is ready sir, but you seem like your done,
so remind me again, what is you want?
SAC? is that the one?
Well here's the check, its time to pay,
Take your time, I'll be here all day.

Please?

Can I come to you as I am,
in secret-
brimming with the need to be held?
Can I lay hot whispers on your skin
then taste how they make you feel?
Can I show you how to touch me,
how hard to press?
If I cry
can I hide salty tears
in the soft curve of your neck?
Can I bite, ever so gently,
before I scream?
Can I be your lover,
without you loving me?
Can I, please?
Look it.
Inside you'll see
The truth that is not present
In the reflection staring back
The hatred, the pain
The loss, harbored so deep
That the mirror is but
A mere-
silhouette
Of the true you.
Handcrafted and artisan,
Built perfectly to fill the gap,
Sweet whispers of your words,
but I know they'll never last,
as we drift off to our own worlds,
bodies held together tight,
I know that tomorrow comes,
we both knew it was the final night.

Wind flutters across the faces,
of both of us in your bed,
the cold night could shake us up,
but the covers keep warm instead.
I know that nothing lasts forever,
I knew that this never would,
We did so much to fight it,
But defeating the demon -- we never could.

So serene and unexpected,
clenching fists around my waist,
the days were never perfect,
How much life did we waste?
Bitter anger and suppressed hatred,
creep below our feet,
Swift sounds of peaceful slumber,
That lead to our defeat.

I watched for so long,
the beginning of our demise,
and now I watch that anger tumble,
and now I see through all of the lies.
Hugging tightly at the sound,
of our last night's sleep as one,
I wake up in the morning,
to the sight of rising sun.

Our bodies laid limp,
Hands firmly at our sides,
Our tongues remained inside our lips,
And I watched that part of our world die.
Oh no.

Here I go again
I don't know what it is,
and I sure as hell don't know where to begin.
And who would've thought
I would allow myself to fall in a pit so deep?
Who would've ever thought,
I would ever have allowed myself to consider that leap?

Foolish, foolish, foolish girl.
So silly to ever believe
That you and I could ever be,
But that's what foolish, silly girls get,
For wearing their gold hearts on their sleeve.

But wait,
I am confused.

What is my next move?
And what have you got to prove?

Sometimes I find myself,
frolicking in my own day dreams,
and I don't know what it is,
but I know it isn't what it seems.

Is it all that I wanted?
What about you is so surreal?
I'm trapped between conversations,
and I know this isn't what I feel.  


I feel so...

odd.

Peculiar.
Out of breath.

Tearing apart my mind -- chasing something,
but I don't understand what it is you left.

This isn't like myself,
to dream of such a sudden death.

Round one and I'm winning,
Round two and you take the lead,
Round three is what I'm hoping for,

Round three is what I need.

Aimless, curious, content,
The things that flutter about my mind,
I know my words don't always make sense,
But I am stuck in a giant bind.

Please don't mistake me for thinking,
anything is more than what it is,
Repeated words and phrases,
Repeated stories and repeated praises,

I am so lost,
And so keen on knowing why our paths have crossed.

Am I making this up?
Am I really dreaming this dream?
Wake me up please.

It's five AM and
**I'm sinking.
Even as the music comes to a halt-
and the sun begins its decent,

I pray you still dance with me,
silently content.
