I want to make him proud
But all he sees is loud
I want to prove that I'm worthy
But everything I do seems to come back to bite me
And it be real

Why do I crave is approval?
When the reaction I get seems to be wishing of my removal
Why do I wish that he'd say
You did good today
And mean it

Why does he keep hurting me?
That's not the way its meant to be
He's suppose to keep me safe and warm
Instead of the one who brings me harm

Catch Me

If only someone could save me
From falling off the edge

If only if someone could catch me
When I fall off the ledge

If only I had a savior
If only I could be saved

Alas, I'm to far gone
I've fallen to far

And no one would ever catch me
Without making me spar

Little wisp of hope
You're drifting away
And so soon

Little wisp of hope
I wish you would stay
And sing your little tune

Little wisp of hope
Why must you always leave in the end?
Without a farewell?

Little wisp of hope
Am I not allowed to have a forever real friend?
Instead only for a spell?

Little wisp of hope
Why must you torture me?

I almost wish
That you'd just leave me be.

In perfect harmony
You and me
Together like a rhyme

From the start
We've never been forced to part
For I was yours and you were mine

Even before we knew
I was in love with you
And you were in love with me too

This is our fairy tale
One that will never go old and frail
One that will always be true

This Boy

There's this boy
Of course there is
This is how it starts

Your eyes meet
Something changes in his face
Something you just can't place
Something special and new

You say you don't deserve him
When you do more than you know

So dear Marie
Listen to me when I say
You  deserve to be happy
In every way
For my dear friend Marie

People think that perfection
Means you're the golden child
With everything going right in your life
With nothing crazy or wild

When they don't realize
How wrong they really are

Perfection is really
A mask
To hide
Pain
Injuries
Sorrow

You can only see it if the mask is removed
That plastic mask
That somehow everyone is oblivious to

So pity the perfect
Tell them hello
And say that you'll never let them go

My Dear Marie
It kills me
That you can't see
Your worth
Your rarity
And your importance

My Dear Marie
It kills me
That you don't see how
You deserve only the best
You deserve to be happy
And that you deserve him

Because you do

Sparks

Florence Maude
I am
Only a shell
Of who I was

But when I look at him
Though I hate him
Something
Sparks

A spark ignites my soul
And my walls come crashing down
Though I've built them as high as they'll go
This impossibility becomes a reality

Just close your eyes my brother,
Unless the demons come near.

Love with all your heart my kin,
I'll make sure that you have nothing to fear.

And stay by my side my friend,
Never shall they hurt you as long as I'm here.

What if we could walk the world
After having shed our masks
What would people think of us
After they see us how we really are
Will they go into shock?
Will they wish that they had believed us?
We shall never know.

For we are to afraid
To step out into the light
In fear that someone would take it
Far far away
And that we'd have to search for it all over again
