most nights i sleep on the side that isn't mine,
because when you used to share a bed with me you would insist on stealing my spot.
i feel as if your arms are always about to grab on to my waist,
i stay on this side to feel you like i once did,
even though i can never sleep,
because its not my side of the bed.

Have you ever had a situation where your feeling crazy? Left in this world alone things are looking hazy.


Have you ever felt secluded? Somehow you've gone deluded, in your mind someone has intruded.


Have you ever lost your way? Barely surviving through the day, at night you beg and pray.

Have you ever lost yourself or mistreated your own health?

Have you ever retrieved that something you once believed? Too much hurt you have received.


Have you ever found the light so bright it blinds your sight? It sparks the fire to fight.

Have you ever been in recovery? Your too shocked by your discovery.


Have you ever had that dark cloud? Inside your screaming so loud, trying to do yourself proud.

Have you ever lost the motion? Your hoping for a potion, or some magic kind of lotion to get control of your emotion.

Have you ever felt ok? Even if its just for one day you try to runaway.


Have you ever woken from your illusions? wrapped up in your scary delusions, you cant take anymore intrusions.

Have you ever felt numb? People treating you like you're dumb, is this the life that you've succumb?


Have you ever found strength where you'd go to any length? To come first not always tenth.

Have you ever been rejected? Your heart is now infected like a drug you've just injected.

Have you ever made a decision where you bleed from the incision? You've lost yourself and your vision.

Have you ever felt free? Given all that you can be there's a brighter future for me.

Like everything in life there has to be a balance,


I'm not talking about your wardrobe or your pretty valance.

A mixture of feelings all cooked up in a ***,
blending together nicely,
if you leave them they will rot.

Weighing out ingredients,
preparing is the key
Opening the door to all that you can be,

It comes with consequences,
if you try to jump the steps,

you will fall off the ladder,
back
to the darkest depths.

Its not about perfection,

in life you'll make mistakes,
learn from them as you will,
beware of the snakes and fakes.

Like every in life, there has to be love,
like the angels watching over us,
from the stars that shine above.

Let us go back to the way we were when we first met, lets not fill our days with sadness which later we'll regret.

Take me back to the happy place when the times we had were funny, lets not fill our days with darkness make them bright and sunny.

Let us go back to that special time where we both were shy, stop all of the fighting please don't make me cry.

Take me in your arms hold me close to you,
Believe I'm sorry for my mistakes, my love for you is true.

Let us live the life we are dreaming it to be,
stop all this craziness its destroying you and me.

Take my word when I say I'd be lost without you here, I don't always show it but to me you are so dear.

Let us wipe the slate clean back to how it was back then, you are the man for me there's no room for other men.

I love you with my heart please don't think that I'm cold, I hope you stick around until we're grey and old.
The fountains mingle with the river
And the rivers with the ocean,
The winds of Heaven mix for ever
With a sweet emotion;
Nothing in the world is single,
All things by a law divine
In one spirit meet and mingle—
Why not I with thine?

See the mountains kiss high Heaven
And the waves clasp one another;
No sister-flower would be forgiven
If it disdained its brother;
And the sunlight clasps the earth,
And the moonbeams kiss the sea—
What are all these kissings worth
If thou kiss not me?

It's 2:04 and I woke up thinking about you
and how it would feel to wake up in your arms.
Don't know why this happens again and again...
My body just won't sleep through a thought of you.
The last thing I need, though, is to wake up at 2:04
and be reminded that you are so far away.
The emptiness of my arms cruelly points that out.
Then the emptiness laughs, the loneliness giggles,
and my misery is delighted by its new source.

Like flies to a flame, comes Wicked this Way...
Such Sweet Sorrow ... does not know what burns it.
Sometimes too many eyes can **** you...
...look the other way...

Going through our chapters
feeling those hidden pictures behind,
Keeping count on my tear drops
from your first breath, till my     heart stops

Alone she was left to wander,
To consider the paths she could take,
But there was nothing,
An empty void that once took the form of her hope,
Shattered,
Broken,
Helpless,
Who would hear her cry?
Who would save her from the darkness?
no one they answered,
And the darkness closed in.

— The End —
