Her name was Artemis.
She had a love.
Unrequited.
Not unheard of.

His name was Janus.
He was headstrong.
Never known this love.
And hadn't known her long.

He said Hello
So simple. So sweet.
It blew her gently
Right off her feet.

His shine was effervescent.
Her eyes aglow.
Her heart was on fire.
He didn't know.

All she wanted
Was to make him stay
But he was in flight
She had to find another way

It happened so fast
It flowed so fluidly
Their tale was painful
I tell you. It ruined me.

He was with a girl.
He stroked her hair.
Caressed her face.
They were a pair.

Artemis died
Inside that night
Clutched her soul
As it lost its fight.

She only wanted
The pain to end
I've been there before
I understand.

I didn't resist
When she took me here
To the open water
The blue so clear.

At the edge of the bluff
Hand in hand
I'd do anything for her.
My mirror-twin sister, my best friend.

Thank you

Thank you for letting me know
That I've wasted my time
Thank you for letting me know
That my love is arbitrary

For letting me know early on
That feeling for you is pointless
For saving me the trouble
Of wanting more than a friendship

It took me a while
But I always figure it out
I went through the fire
And got burned without a doubt

But thanks to you
My burns are minor
Thanks to your *generosity

I hardly even hate myself more than I already did

You make me so angry
You pull me around to follow you
And then you leave me somewhere desolate
You make  me think you're worth it
And then you fool me

It's all fun for you
It's all a game to you
It's all a joke to you
It's all the same to you

Who do you think you are
To make me think you were worth it
To trick me so easily
When all you wanted was a laugh.

Well ill be a ****** fool
To believe your lie again
Ill be a ****** fool
To fall over you again

I don't want anything from you
I wouldn't even take a penny
Not a hug or a cuddle
Because you are not worth it

You are of no romantic use to me
So what are you good for?
A hot kiss?
A *****?
A f-ck?
Anything that involves  no feeling
Anything quick to be done

I don't think I've messed up again
I mean, how many times can I.
Sooner or later I have to do it right.

You are where you should be
And I'm in the dark
I just don't know anything

They say
You've got to let it happen
But this wont keep me up for long

'It's just a spark but it's enough to keep me going.'

I left my eyes closed
And this car hit me again
It's familiar
But it hurts as bad as ever

If I just wait this one out
Will the answers just come to me?
Will you come to me?

My words aren't making any sense
But really, what ever does.

I jumped into it before I knew you
I had an idea of who you were
And you proved me wrong
But then again,
You are always right, aren't you?

I guess I wanted something
And you looked the part
But you couldn't act.
Then again,
You are the best at it all, aren't you?

You showed me peace
Even if only for a moment
And I ate it up
Despite the dish you served
only days before
Then again,
I'm so vulnerable, aren't I?

And it was perfect timing
With all the pairing birds
So why not you and I
We could make something beautiful.
I'm not sure if that's what you want.
But then again,
You're so sure of yourself,
aren't you?

I captured sight of a dream
Before I Knew I was dreaming.
And I thought it was solid.
All in my feebleness.
All in my weak hopeful heart.
And you fooled me well,
*Didn't you?

Something ill never give up on
Is finding my cure
The one to ease my heart
And make living a verb

Life shouldn't be as static
As it's been for me
It should be worth the fight
And laced with ecstasy

I wouldn't be lying
If I said you came to me in a dream.
Everything was gray and cold
And you set the colors free.

I wouldn't be dishonest
If I said I've been dying to show you
How my primal being yourns for you
And this feeling isn't new.

Can you tell me that you want me
In the middle of the night
When the harshest storms row
And you hold me in sight.

Can you tell me that you need me
Because maybe you're incomplete
And maybe you can complete me as well
While my dreams of you repeat.
