who are you
what's inside
what's your guilt
say about you

when are you
what were you like
what's your innocence
say about you

what are you
do you know
what's your wisdom
say about you

why are you
what is your point
what's your actions
say about you

where are you
i miss you like hell
what's your love
say about you

I wish I believed in a higher power
To tremble before an Awesome God, or cower.
To have eternal faith and love and hope,
To cleanse myself with the purest soap.
I wish I believed in something higher
More than me, the earth, and the fire.
More than anger, sadness, despair, chagrin,
More than I could ever imagine.
I wish I could believe in a God.
But believe? I simply cannot.
I put faith in science and in theory
And above all, I believe in me
And reality.

Let me in
I want to know what your world is like
Don't hold back
I want to see the city lights
Just open up
I want to wake up by you
Don't go away
I think I love you

I've been chained to your heart
For far too long
This is not for you
This is not your song
For your melody is far too sweet
For these vacant words
For this stupid poem
For this thing absurd
Home is where you are
But I am in-between
A hobo roaming the streets
A homeless, poor Queen
I've loved you
I've lost you
I've been you
I've broke you
Forgive me
I could not help myself
Forgive me
Because I cannot
Forgive me
Forgive me
But don't ever forget me

And I would walk to the ends of the earth
Just to find out who you really are.
It doesn't matter where you're going
Or whether I can travel that far,
All that matters is who you are.
Tell me all your secrets
Confess all your mistakes
Discuss your past, present, future,
All the sacrifices you've had to make.
Tell me how hard you break.
Share your wisdom
Tell a tale
Tell me all you succeed
Tell me all you fail
Your protective armor scale.
Open up
Let me in
You can't lose
If you can't win.
Let me be your cardinal sin.
Let me love you for forever,
A stranger to me, naught, never.

How silly of me to think
You might have said yes.
To think you could feel the same,
To think you could feel at all.
Now I'll never be the same.
I'll just be the shell of a girl
Who used to know what it meant
To love and be loved.
To throw her cares away.
Now I'm just a ghost
With unfinished business that will never resolve.
And to be certain it's not my fault
I'll put all the blame on you;
I was such an easy target.
And you drew back
And you took your aim
And you let go.

Bullseye.

You pierced my heart.
It's hard to fall in love
With a bona fide villain
Who played you from the start.

It doesn’t matter
That you broke my heart,
That you left me,
That you threw me away
Like I was trash.

It doesn’t matter
That we still don’t talk,
That you have someone else,
That you have
Forgotten me.

All that matters
Is the fact
That I once had you.
That you once loved me.
That you once thought about me every day.
That I once gave you butterflies in your stomach.
Whenever you saw me,
You would light up
Your day would get better.
The thought of our bodies intertwined
Had crossed your mind.
That once, you had always called me babe
And said “I love you”.
And you had once meant it.

All that matters
Is that I caught you
And I had you.
Once,
we were
Happy.
