The rocks will wear away
Trees will burn to ash
Lakes will evaporate

Nothing stays

Buildings will deteriorate
Clouds will pass by
The tide will go out

Nothing stays

Fires will burn down
Leaves will fall
Snow will melt

Nothing stays

People move on
Joy will leave
You have left

Nothing stays

**Everything leaves
Don't get too attached
Brittle as glass
Strong as steel
Truth is powerful
So keep it real

The beach is dry
The sea appears green
The sun light blazing
On a sky so clean

We seek it and love it
Hold it so near
Like a bell ringing
Sweetly and clear

Sweetened and pure
The water overfloweth;
The truth separates
The liars and the voiceless

As tis we hath choices
To settle the scene;
Some seeketh reality
Others liveth in dreams

And between these things
We keep our head's topped;
Speaking honesty in mantra
Wherein one's ears shalt pop

And aloft the floss
Of the sky that is greyish blue;
We shalt travel by wingspan
Showing amour so true

In depths we dive
The sun we trust
Till we hit the
  rocks
And get shattered to dust

Holding our breath
The pressure gets worse
This mighty
  sea  *has never
Quenched anyone's thirst
This is just all the sections that I've seen for the collab put together. Feel free to add to it :)
Every word I speak hurts
And when thought comes to mind
Believe me, it's a train wreck

All it takes is a second
Because when you're all alone
In an empty room
with no one to speak to
and no one to hold
The silence just kills you
Like your soul waiting to be sold

Voices astray
Speak what the mind has to say
So what may lay here now

Is nothing

Because trying to speak
holds the same meaning
as falling asleep

*in silence

After two years, two months,
and twenty-two shots,

you finally told me
you loved me.

a.g
I didn't really count the shots; it was probably more. This was something you wouldn't have done sober.
The chase is over,
Though it never really began.
There wasn't much of a game for you,
Was there?
Thus the prize lost its lustre,
Lost your lust.
And so you continued to chase,
Eyes wandering elsewhere,
Secretly seeking other prizes,
Real achievements to you.
As I gathered dust on your shelf,
Polished when you needed me.
I will eventually fade into the background,
Phased out by new trophies,
Bigger and better.
To write is to release,
For speaking is awaiting critique,
Words on paper- give them thought,
They'll give you peace.
No reply needed.
Words in the air however, they seek ears,
Firing a response, be it helpful or not.

No.

Put it in words. Just for you.

she spent so much time looking in the mirror
that she forgot what she looked like

you don't let hope in
you don't let your dreams out
like wishes in a well
your thoughts collect
useless
