i am what you need
let's get drunk off of each other
we have nothing else

let's go far away
take me on an adventure
i will follow you

kiss me while i sleep
i am sick of being alone
i'd love to love you

I have outlived suffering,
I have endured pain.
I have gently walked
thru fire and rain.
I have swallowed anger,
I have eaten sin.
I have bled
and lost what lies within.
I have surpassed doubt,
I have suppressed blame.
I have taken stock
of what remains.
I have absorbed sadness,
I have taken loss.
I have appraised the damage
and paid the cost.
I have been loveless,
I have been true.
I will never
be beaten by you.

How do you fix someone that's too broken?
To save one who already died drowning
How do you retrieve what has been stolen?
To tell time of a clock that stopped counting


I wallowed in my insecurities
You tried your best to strip them all away
You said you'd hold me reassuringly
Didn't bother to listen to what you'd say

You took a step forward I took one back
You called out my name I did not reply
I work on my suitcase while you unpack
How do I tell you I just want goodbye ?


I fight these urges to look back at you
I'm leaving now, that's all there's left to do

Tonight i'll be dreaming of you.
Will you dream of me too?
You pulled the flaws from my veins,
Yet i'll still dream of you.
Once falsely believing you,
you had the complexity of the cosmos.
Blessed by the absence of your presence,
If I wait,
I will trust in time that we will meet again.

if you look to your left, you'll see the apologies I left on your machine and the nightmares you gave me when you told me you could never love the girl who didn't love herself. I still don't know what meant because now you're coming back even though I can't feel the warmth of your hands anymore.
and if you look to your right, you can still see the street light where I first saw your ghost stumbling through the darkness. I couldn't quite tell what you were at first. I couldn't tell if you were an angel or otherwise. I couldn't tell if you were a flight risk or otherwise. I couldn't tell if you were truly in love or otherwise.
crane your necks and look to the stars that I'd like to pretend we looked at together because, after all, we were star crossed lovers even though we collided when I couldn't help but mention the way you pulled from me.
look at ground, and watch it crumble like it did when I started falling.
