In the shadow of these city life
your shine gets dimmer
and your beauty seems duller.

In the midst of these city lights
your nothing but a shadow who
follows
the mundane rules
neglecting you dream
to create.

Now that life has
Scattered

To the ten
Directions

Blown by winds
Of change
Of chance

How

Where shall
We once more

Coalesce?

Why is it that, a cuckoo
Is locked up in a clock
While lunatics with guns
Are left, to run amuck

You can't go back, but you can get back to where you were.
Flowers are in full bloom, then come winter they're hiding,
Until the gentle breeze of spring wakes them up again,
Colourful and basking in the sun like they were a year ago.
Life isn't a yo-yo, going back and forth forever;
It's a wheel, continuously turning until the starting point
Becomes the starting point when it reaches a full cycle.
So if you've lost who you were and you know you can't go back,
You don't need to. Eventually you'll come full circle.
Title is a quote from The Walking Dead, because why the hell not?

Pick me
    Pick me out of the throng of women
    The chaotic crowds
    This diamond in the rough

Choose me
     Choose me to lay beside you at night
     One whose demons need slayed
     Who will fight by your side

Love me
     Love me and you will see royalty in us
     I your queen, you my king
     Together we can rule this love

Pick me
      Choose me
                 *
*Love me...

It's just the air hitting my eyes
I can't seem to keep them dry--
no, honestly, I'm not going to cry--
just because you said goodbye.
So go on now, leave me be--
I'll just go back inside, you see
and work on forgetting you and me
As I embrace the thought of being Free.
I'm fine on my own.
Goodbye.

He tied an anchor to her
Threw her in the deep end
When she came out with a fear
Of drowning
All they did was ask her
Why she'd go under
If she knew
She wouldn't be able to breathe
