Given
That
You're
Living,
Why
Not
Make
It
Count?

'Cause
Once
You're
Gone,
You're
All
Out.

Take away my arms,
I'll reach you with my songs.

Tear away my spirit,
I'd love you all along.

Strip away my identity,
I didn't need it anyway.

Mend my broken heart,
It breaks almost everyday.

Letters work in unison,
Words act in tandem,
Sentences form what we call poetry,
They help us understand 'em.
Just hit me that what we read is an accumulation of letters, yet the feelings and thoughts evoked stretch far beyond any word.

I reached into my pocket to find an idea.

I must've lost it...

I know the response.

I just keep hoping that
If I wait long enough
To check it,
The reply will
Change.

Is a friend a selfish thing?

I mean, my friends are mine.

My comrades share my interests.

When I'm with them, it makes me happy.

When can it make you happy?

Are your interests shared?

Frankly, who's to say I'm not yours?

Am I your selfish pleasure?
Just a thought I had yesterday.

I burnt it all,
Not a single ember stayed ablaze
Much like what you did
To me and you.
Kinda funny, ain't it?

I watched the smoke and
Ashes rise up into
The night until
I couldn't see
Them any longer.
They're not my
Problem anymore.
You're the world's problem
Now.

I made sure every
Scrap was burnt to
Nothing.
After all, you had
No trouble
Doing it to me.

For once,
I had the
Control.

And after it all,
I said the
One thing you
Could never
Say to me.
"Good bye"
I miss you.
Let's just all let go.
