Broken hearts make broken spirits,
Tainted souls make ****** people,
ignorance makes bliss and water sprouts
a rose,
I'll always be with you no matter where
you go,
I am the tainted soul watching over
you,
I am not a man I can't do this on my
own,
this is the eighteenth time I can count
on my pride to go home,
And I'm free,
was a slave to people,
now all I could be is me.

/

see you in my dreams,
see you in the oceans,
see you in the mirror,
see you in class,
see you in books,
see you in the shower,
see you on t.v every night by the hour,
everything becomes clear,
but when you kiss me it just starts fade away,
and when your near,
I get a sense of reality that you'd come here,
just take me with you,
see you in my dreams,
see you in the oceans,
see you in the mirror,
see you in class,
see you in books,
see you in the shower,
my beautiful demon.

They say the eyes are
windows to the soul..
So why are yours so empty?

My back parallel to the ground
as my nerves and vessels in my head swell.
Puffed eyelids shut gently,
my fingers shiver.
Heavy heart beats with a stagnant beat,
tears flushing down like a waterfall..
forming puddles on my collar bone
before drowning me into a pool
of melancholy and despair.

**Wondering what's in store for me tomorrow,
only if it comes..
