Its been almost a year since you left.
Why do you haunt me still?

Why do I feel the need to cry my eyes out?

If I give you my heart
Will you protect it?

How can you be so blind?
          I'm standing right here...

I beleive that I have become so numb to the pain that when I have a tidal wave of emotions coming at me...

I become afraid.
And I usually break down..

He thinks I'm paranoid...
I'm sorry, but that's a low blow for someone who wants me to be happy.

I've figured out what another one of my many problems.
I'm afraid, because I don't trust myself...

You were here.
I was there too.
But I hid....

Hate it when
You fall apart

Don't get frustrated with yourself,
Just keep trying.
And don't be afraid to try.
Remember that.

When you look at her,
I wish you were looking at me....

I still give you hugs,
and I still joke around.
But I know, and I know you know too,
That things are different between us.
And I hate that.
I wish things were the way they were...

It's by blood,
And it's not..

But it's still family.

What power do you have?
To make me feel this way?

Why have I fallen hard?
Even harder, in the time
We've been apart

Why do I run when I see you?
What can I not bear to face you?
What am I afraid of?

*How can I be afraid of you?

I am falling.
Down
  Down
    Down.
Can you help me?

I have given up
I can't.
No more.
*I can't

Why do I feel so divided?
Inside my brain.
In my heart.
Why?

Now mind you, this is not something that you discuss around just anyone...
I am depressed. Not so bad that I have to take pills or see doctors.
But I can't shake this feeling that I'm not worth anything,
Or the one that tells me that all of this is just a lie.
Or even the one that tells me that people actually care about me...
That's why I'm depressed...

Why does it feel
Like I'm LOST...

Without you near?

Do you know what you do to me?
Do tell....

Sometimes I wish
That some things in life
Are optional

You finally set me free
I didn't realize it at first
But you did

Was this your intention?
Did you plan this out?
Waiting til I was ready?
Then just disappearing?

Could I have at least known  
Was it a surprise?

How was I supposed to know??

How can you just up and leave us?
Leave me?

This was supposed to be me thanking you
For leaving
But know I'm not so sure...

It's it for the best?
For you maybe..
For the the rest of us? Perhaps
For me??

Only time will tell...

I wish you had seen me cry,
So you would know how much you hurt me.

When I look in his eyes
I see all what I do
I see his soul
I see me.

When he speaks
It's like everything stops to listen.
You have to listen- no matter what

When he's actually serious
You know there's no going back.
He'll throw you a bone
You just have to be willing to go get it.

When he plays,
You can't help but feel intimidated
You can't breathe standing next to him
He is like a god

When he sings,
Oh, how my heart melts
Help me, I think I'm drowning.

he left an imprint
On my heart
On my soul
On mind

*if only I could tell him that

You left.
I became free.
Some may say
That's overrated..

*But who
Knows?

To him,
Who understands me perfectly.

I love you.
And am falling every time we touch.

I wish you could see that.

Sadly I still think of you.
After everything you've said to me,
I still think about you.
Why?

Tell me something

Besides the lies

You always feed me.

I let it run my life.

What is the meaning of life?
To be or not?

I thought you were my best friend.

*I thought wrong

I'm sorry.

I don't like feeling like this.

I'm sorry.

Be my saving grace?

The only way to get over you,
Is to have you out of my life forever.
But I don't want to forget you...

Where were you when I needed you?
I don't know...

Can't you see?
I am smiling.
But I'm still broken

I have pain.
Don't think I don't.
I do.

I just don't show it...
