I
painfully
love  
you
Dedicated to those who chose and continue to love unconditionally.
Kiss me deeply
Like you know I am better than the scars on my tongue

Kiss me with regret
Knowing we will never have this exact moment back

Kiss me tomorrow
Because I will need a reminder I am alive

Kiss me one more time
Just once more
I need to know
You are still here
I stand under dark skies
Close my eyes
And try to melt into the night
I feel safer in the silence.
I feel safer in the darkness.
I feel safer with the monsters.
I feel safer in the abyss.

In the shadows I have hidden
all the secrets I've been given--
all the secrets that I made
trying to tuck a life away.

You want to **** them with the sunshine,
but I only dance in moonlight.
I stay hidden beneath the stars
because all my scars
are wounds I got in plain sight.

So take me to the dark side--
it's much safer than your harsh light.
I stare into the night,
Trying to breathe breaths of relief,
The moon and stars my only light,
I am thankful for the dark,
It hides the deepest demons,
They do not hide in the external world,
These monsters do run.
They chase us where we can not hide,
And where this is, is deep inside.
But still I feel alive,
Happiness is easily worn away,
And non-dark feeling tend not to stay,
I tell myself I'm normal,
How can I be normal when I am made up of sadness.
