I will search the multiverse
an infinite amount of times
until I find a way to describe
my love for you

you have given me forever
a gift I could give back
but somehow I don't think
you'd take it

this little forever
I carry with me
everywhere I go

the forever brought
to the surface
by little things
that remind me of you

a distant melody
a reminiscent memory
another and another

until I realize
you are everywhere
wherever I go in this world
you will always be near

I will always have something
to remind me of you
for I carry this forever
inside of me
a gentle reminder
of the truest love
I have ever known
to exist

Why?

I lie on my floor
Unable to move
Passed out from pure exhaustion
I can't go on this way
The real me is fading
Only to be replaced
By a shell of myself
Only the necessary parts
Still there
My mind and soul
Drained
From the troubled thoughts
That consume me
This is no way to live
So why live at all?

Hello.

S'been a while, huh?

I've been missing that,
Those letters you wrote,
The lipstick stains stretching across the paper.

Red was never your colour, love.

You'd never wear anything but black,
Unless they'd make a darker colour.

You and your punk rock.

It wouldn't be wrong to say I miss it.

But does missing you make a difference,
In you and I?

Do we change from who we are,
To miss the person we once had?

The light to our dark?

Does the coin suddenly have two sides,
When it's been polished again?

You never liked my cryptic words,
And I hated your honeyed poison.

But I could never turn away,
From the part of you,
That did not speak.

I could never stop looking,
At your black and blue,
At your simple formula,
At your sun-kissed smile,
Nor at your cut-up honour,
Your tragic vanity,
And your stomped-upon pride.

And you could not forget about my words,
Because even the ones you don't understand,
They ring true,
And they ring loud.

You do not lie in words,
But I live in words.

You II

Every night
That you aren’t here with me
Breaks my heart just a bit more
Every day
That I can’t see you
Twists my insides
More and more
Every moment
Every hour
I go without your voice
Hurts, because I know
That this love is true
But I still can’t feel you here

You feel so far away
I don’t know how to reach you
I don’t know how to help
Darling, tell me how

I will do anything for your happiness
Anything, to see you
To have you in my arms for one more minute
To kiss you
As I tell you for the thousandth time
I love you
More than you understand

Let me help
Tell me what to do
Please, help me help you

Stars shine so brightly
Lay on the floor staring out
Thoughts only of you
