I lay there motionless
The flicker of the light licks my cheek.
I gaze up into its empty glare
How can something so bright
Become so flat.

My heart is my enemy
It rips, tears and poisons my veins
It pumps my body full of hope
When reality always wins.
It makes me dellusional
I see things that aren't there
Hear words that were never spoken
It gives me a false confidence
That I can take on the world
When really, the world only takes on me
My heart is a liar
A cheap ******* that always wins
My mind over.
C

I enjoy nighttime's fall of darkness
because when the world is dead
I become alive

Lowering me down slowly
into the pit of my eternity,
placing flowers in my recognition,
doesn't make you an innocent man.

I believe in Love
and other imaginary things
like hands that can't hold
and birds that can't sing

I believe in Hope
and other things of pretend
like stars that can't fly
and rules that can't bend

I believe in Promises
and other empty things
like the day that can't break
And the bee that can't sting

I believe in love
And other imaginary things
Like hope and promises
And rise of my wings.

You give me enough
To hold me on a string
To keep me hanging on
Hoping for just one thing

You give me enough
To trick me to stay
To warm my heart
But not everyday
