music plays,
crowds cheer,

guns fire,
people scream.

couples dine,
everyone relaxes,

buildings are burning,
smoke fills the air.

the once bright tower,
is now dark as night,
as innocents are murdered;
is this right?

all we can do now is,
give our condolences,
aid the injured,
and pray for the living.

Why is it that I always shake when I'm anxious?
Re-reading our old messages, and skipping through pages.
You enjoyed every inch of every word that I had said,
I yearn so deeply to be the only thought that runs through your head.

I replay in my mind every second of our last conversation,
The tension that hung heavy in a room where my words now stay wasted,
On a man who only pretended he cared,
All the promises he made tucked messily in a box somewhere.

I am now neurotic and obsessive,
But I'm young and won't learn my lesson.

I'll spend the next few months dreaming of you as I lay in bed,
Shaking and cold and out of breath,

Because I tossed away, into you, all that I had left.
