The death
Of a dream.
Dying quietly.

No one hears.
The passing

When its gone.
It's gone.

I may have held the gun
But I didn't pull the trigger

I may have tied the rope
But I didn't pull it tighter

I may have grasped the knife
But I didn't slice my flesh

I may have wanted to die
But it was you who did the killing

stop asking if

i'm okay

i'm tired of lying

when solar winds
cause a freeze
and ships have doldrums
due to breeze

when roses wilt
because of dew
and broken clocks
are always true

when soldiers all
return from war
and vow that they
will fight no more

when the Jokers'
call the bluff
and the greedy
have enough

when redwoods fall
without a sound
and the canyons
regain ground

when all these things
are proven true
then i will stop

LOVING YOU

You said that you were different
but you're the same... Stranger.
You said this was love
when you knew it wasn't.
I thought you were no good
but I'm the one thats no good.
The worst thing about it
is I knew that you'll find better.
You deserve better.
