You don't know who I want to be,
But you say you know who I am.

Truthfully, you don't know,
You just know what I choose to show.
I get morning breath, I hate to clean,
I cry at movies, I love to scream,
I hate you slowly when you cheer me up because I love to feel angry.
A thousand times you've saved me.
But no one will ever know me,
Like I do.

You make me angrier than I've ever been,
and I hate things you stand for.
You're naturally reckless, and you love to fight.
With your friends you spent many drug filled nights.
You cheated, you lied.
But you were heaven in my eyes.

Truthfully, they dont know,
I just see what you want to show,
You're aggrivating, insecure,
You confess your love but think I'm not sure.

But you left me
                           S H A T T E R E D
                                                          In pieces.
                                                                          For her.

In the middle of the night, I say your name.
I dream of you, so we're not so far away.
You drive me crazy, I go insane.
But just know, no one will ever love you
Like I do

Maybe she's pretty,
Maybe she's smart.
But I'm the one that had your heart.

Maybe she's pretty,
Maybe she's smart.
But I'm the one that won't let you go.
Because...
She'll never be like me.
She won't put up with you.
You'll drive her so insane she'll break you.

I'll be waiting on the side,
Just to have you again,
Because living is overrated if I have to live
Without you.

I gave you everything I had,
In ways no one else can have.
When you left, it hurt so bad.

And no one will ever captivate me,
**Like you do.

How sweet, tell me that you love me, then leave me.
You think I need you, well baby I guess you don’t see.
That even though the words you say are *never
gonna break me,
Even if you fight up a storm, you’re never gonna shake me.
No matter what you do,
I’ll live on without you.
Chit chat, talking all the ********
time.
Saying that you love me, then spitting in my eye.
Bitter words simmer on my tongue,
Betraying fool that said I was the one.

Cue the lights, pull the curtain,
Make it special, make it certain.
We are all gathered here today,
Because I have something to say

I’m done with your apathy,
And how you change it up and say you love me.
And broke me then went to her.
I’m done with your attitude,
Making me wanna hate you,
Because all of these feelings stir.
You say you want me then throw me on the ground.
But if it’s gonna be like that, I don’t want you around.
Keep talking.

You are so mistaken, you are so confused.
Making dumb complications and making me feel used.
I’m sorry I hurt your feelings, I didn’t expect it,
Now I’m trying to understand why it’s like this.
I figured you’d catch me,
Because you tripped me,
And I fell.
Now it’s so hard to talk to you.
Everything makes me confused.
We make a little improvement,
And we start this little movement,
We’re standing in a hallway,
A million miles away
From each other,
We take turns taking steps closer.
Here we are face to face,
Only separated with a little space.
I get excited and take two steps forward,
But you get nervous and take one step backwards.
Now we fight.

I thought you were the one for me,
But you've shown me how impossible that would be.
I'm not ready to say "I'm over you"
But I want to.

Forget it.

When I wonder who I am,
You already know.
You see me.
Like my skin is pulled back,
To show my heart.

You inspire me to be the person I am.
And not the person that I could be.
Like everyone else does.
Like he did.

Your touch makes me tremble,
And white noise fills my veins,
Tingling.

You
       Rock
              My
                    World

I am inside out for you,
So you can see right through me.
I'm trembling.
But I like it.

You're always there when I need you.
And you always have my back.
We laugh,
We fight,
We forgive.
When I am hurt, you make it better,
Because it makes you hurt to see me like that.
I need you in my life.
You are the other side to my soul.
You are the best friend I've ever had.

Inhale strength, Exhale pain.
The smoke creeps through my lips.
Inhale numbness, Exhale hate.
The ashes fall apart like my soul,
Like my world, like my mind,
And everything that's supposed to be strong.
Inhale strength, Exhale the weak.
As the world falls down around you.
Inhale the nothing, Exhale the hurt.
At least I know I'm breathing.

See the way the moon shines with an orange over tone
The way that all the dangerous creatures are the only ones that run alone
Pick up your syths and run like hell
because I know that soon you'll inhale that putrid smell
Rotting flesh becomes more of a most common seen thing
because when the beast lures you in, no one can hear your screams.
He runs around with a wolfish snout and large, red, beady eyes
He runs so fast you never see him, and when you do it's to late to realize
that he's coming for you so you have to get away
because the beast holds hell in his heart, so he doesn't care anyway
He'll rip your throat out and drain you down
and when he's done there'll be no sign around
So warn your little children during the kiss of night
that the big, bad beast will get them and suffocate them tight
Save yourself dusk of day, and don't take for granted what you see
Because when you least expect it, you'll understand, the beast lives in me.

Mommy said I'd love all boys,
But Mommy wasn't right.
I loved one boy for a long while,
But it didn't work out quite.
I found a new love, I swear it's true,
With all of the blue in the skies.
I didn't even stand a chance,
the second I looked her in the eyes.
Mommy said I'd love all boys,
But Mommy wasn't right.
I felt like my world was shaded too dark,
But my savior brought the light.
Her laughter chimes with the sound of bells,
Her eyes are brown and green
She acts like she's just so tough,
And her jokes are so obscene.
Everything that doesn't make sense,
Makes sense when she's around.
She has me falling headfirst into a freefall,
But I'll never touch the ground.
Mommy said I'd love all boys,
But Mommy wasn't right.
I can try to forget her and change my mind,
But her face is the last I see at night.

— The End —
