Everything I held so dear has now just disappeared. All the times I tasted your love I never really knew what I had. And, baby if you can hear me, I never needed you so bad. You're spinning in my head with my heart in your hand and I just want to hold you now.

Never felt as lonely as I do right now...
Seems like and eternity has gone by since you left town
And I hope you know you took more than just clothes in a bag
Without you here time just lags
This place has no life anymore
Since you walked out the door
I'm left here being restless
Watching  you go I felt so helpless
Smile intact, tears lay unseen
I try to remain serene
If I lay here in our empty bed I can pretend
That this isn't too much for me to comprehend
I knew this wasn't going to be easy
But I didn't plan to miss you this deeply
So right here waiting is where I'll be
Until you come back to me
Absence of you makes my heart grow fonder
But at the same time so somber
It's strange how 1,709.5 miles
Can change a smile
It all happened so fast
I'm left holding onto a moment that now is past
And my arms are unfilled of you
But my heart remains full and true
Please hurry back to me
I miss you so badly (B)
And I spent last night dreading the dawn,
Because I knew today you'd be gone...
I miss you Brandon B and I'll be here waiting until you come back to me... <3
xoxo

Lately I can see nothing in your eyes
Except for maybe the coming of a goodbye
I know not of your kind
And I'm longing to unveil your evil mind
You're like pouring salt into and open wound
Please tell me this hurt will be over soon
I'll sacrifice myself and give you what's left
It's become to me plain as day
Soon I'm gonna need a change in the worst way
Not getting to you is killing me
And eventually I will suffocate from lack of  breathing
All the lies need to stop
Because I'm running out of the stone is takes to be your rock
So watch the words you say
Because it's the ones you don't
That I take the wrong way.
Just getting through to you takes all my strength
And soon enough I will suffocate.
I'm dying inside
So is this is your idea of torture?
I'm asking you with my heart still barely beating
Why are you killing all the good left within me?
I could take every word you ever said
Throw it in your face and be done
Because I've gathered so many, and kept them so close
But all I want is to make this love real.
I can still remember how you looked at me
A scowl upon your face trying to be sincere
But you smothered me when you just lied and acted fake
I'm so far away from you now
We'll never be able to bring back yesterday
And I keep trying to forget you
But it leaves me less than zero,
Beat down and bruised
I try to take a breath but then I start choking
I try to remember to just forget you,
But all I ever achieve is pure agony
I have this empty hole now where a heart should be
And no words left to serenade me
I just keep slipping farther as I'm left to bleed out
I have no voice left to protest all that remains is doubt
There are no reasons left for me to be
Because your deceit just took the breath right out of me.

I am the mess you chose
The door you can't close
Your weakness I suppose...
And,
You are the game I play
My calmness in moments of disarray
The one thing that makes me always stay.
Now,
I get so lonesome without you,
That I sink just like a stone,
And this 90 proof I'm clinging too
Is the only thing keeps me afloat.
And,
Just like *******, I've started your heart
And I run through your veins.
Now you're constantly craving,
You're aching and chasing.
And,
The first time I felt you I flew
Nothing gives me the high that you do
The way you make me feel inside
You can do no wrong.
And,
You've tried to break it off
But I got you back with a feel
After everything
Why do you still love the needle?
Now,
We're hooked on these feelings
The highs we're both dealing
Just look what we've done to our lives.
Our love is a drug
That we just can't get enough of.
So,
We're now the junkies that it's taken over
And it's either our death or the cure
But, baby no matter what we both do
We just can't resist it,
Think it's safe to say...
                                      We're addicted.

The day you got out of our bed you died to me
The drugs guided your footsteps out the doorway
And my heart shattered in a million pieces on the floor.
From this mess a seed was made and born.
Now he will grow up finding out what it means to leave.
You're going to miss all his firsts,
Because you're his last.
The one he'll never need.
When he sleeps,
I'll lie awake watching over those closed eyes,
And I'll pray he's alright.
He won't walk the same path as you.
He won't take the easy way out like you always do.
He'll be stubborn like me and always have to fight.
He will have a strong, but always broken mind.
Just look what we have done.
All that we destroyed he will have to build again,
Because, he was born into an evil world thanks to you and me.
I'd give my soul for his protection.
My life to save his.
I'll give up my dreams to make sure he lives out his.
I'll suffer depression to make sure he's happy and good.
So now tell me,
What will you ever do...?
Just like I thought.
Not a **** thing!
Because that's all you are or ever will be.
I guess having no dad is better than having a bad dad....:/ Right?

Most days I just want to paint my face
And pretend that I am someone else.
Sometimes I get so fed up I can't even
stand to look at myself.
I just want to start my life over
Because, I am slowly falling apart.
So won't you come take a walk in my shoes for a start
And you will soon discover that it's not so easy being me...

Before we met each other
We would stand on the bank
Skipping rocks on top of the water
Watching them sink to the bottom.
We would wade out ankle deep
Where it was shallow
And dream about meeting a true lover
From time to time we would venture
Far enough out to get soaked
But never over our heads
We would sit and throw sticks
While we pondered love and the meaning of it
We would get mad and try to drown ourselves under
Then the day we met and dared each other
To jump in the deepest part of the water
I'm pretty sure you dove first
But you called to me from the bottom
And I couldn't help but follow
I couldn't let you hold your breath forever
So fast we swam back to the surface together
Took a deep breath of each other
As we reached the top I was your's to keep
Letting go of words cause talk is cheap
The waters so gentle and calm
Until the storms began
So many we have weathered through
But we always managed to save each other
Then one day you swam ahead of me a little further
I tried catching up but the rip tide
Caught me and pulled me farther away from you
When I finally caught back up I was so exhausted
And you were tired of waiting
Always looking back
Calling hurry up and swim faster
Now we're both stuck here
And it's still as we are just floating
But hold your breath because we're going under
And I can see the shore
I thought that's what we were heading for
Now I'm not so sure....
