The night can be livelier than day sometimes
The darkness can be brighter sometimes
There's hope in stillness of night
For those who don't belong otherwise
In which lies the flaws of society
The perfectly structured flaws

There's a heavy silence that lay in darkness of night
like a wet blanket on surface of earth
A blanket in which you can crawl and hide;
In silence which you can almost hear
In silence that unhinges people
In silence that keeps them sane

Graveyards are just like gardens,
If a garden is in reverse.
For beneath the tombstone markers and the green grass above,
Graveyard beds hold fester like a glove
There’s an overgrowth of decay where the corpses lie down,
And where bodies flower with maggots and tree root crowns.
They bear scarlet fruit, rot-sweet in death,
And swarm with green where they’ve since lost their breath.
There’s life waiting once one falls from the hearse,
Because graveyards are just like gardens,
If a garden is in reverse.

There is a path we all must walk that isn't set in stone
staring down the empty path I start to feel alone
I make my way down the path around each bend and curve
cause here the path is the master and all on it must serve
Any direction that I look it all becomes a blur
Except for when I stare ahead and what I see is her
A fellow traveler along this path I did not think to see
A woman that looked ageless yet familiar to me
Step by step, inch by inch, I'm finally on my way
thinking all the while of what it is I'll say
Could it be that we were meant to find each other here
Or maybe it's a mistake to want to get so near
Midnight Black is the color of her falling hair
Matching how I feel inside but I know she won't care
The closer that I get to her she starts to turn her back on me
when I take a step back she turns her face so I can clearly see
The pain on her face tells me all I need to know
And what I see inside her eyes tells me that I need to let her go
There is a path we all must walk that isn't set in stone
Time to walk a new path even if it means alone

I’ve been one to dream without restriction

But how can anyone live free of tension?

Against my best judgment, I’m blue

Yet something, someone, like you

Never could’ve crossed my mind

I’ve waited

Eager to shine.

You wanna know what scares me about you?

It’s that I could let go and live less tame

Something about you makes me feel brave

Except when I fear you’d walk away

But in this moment up here

I choose not go down there.

I find myself wondering if you’re real

Suddenly, I’m prettier in your mirror

Run away, drive away, with me

Can this stay just the way it seems?

You give back what was taken

And yes, my hands are shaking

But, it’s in a good way

Honey, You're a good way.

you smell like the ocean
and move like the breeze
your touch is like sand
inbetween my toes

and i wish that i loved you

​when you walk
the world stops to give you space
when you speak
the music fades because it can't compete

and i wish that i loved you

when you frown calm feels far gone
when you cry i can't look away
you look me in the eye
and tell me you love me

and i wish that i loved you

i'd sing you every song
to help you fall asleep
i'd give you my every muscle
if you are feeling weak

but i don't love you

Life has no greater poison
Than unrequited love
Which lingers in your pulsing veins
While life still carries on
To feel the pain of commitment to
An uncommitted soul
And to whom you can not forget
And could never let them go
Life has no greater poison
Than love that yearns for one
Who will never return your heart to you
Until your days are done

She sheds useless tears full of sharp exhaustion

Her face is numb of all the smiles she shows

Who really cares how she feels?

That’s all she can do.

This isn’t new to her she has been in this harsh time before.

She mourns what has been lost.

All she can do is gather the pieces she needs to move forward

And walk away with a smile

Is she a fool?

Was it her fault she is here?
