You told me you
Couldn't trust anymore
So you locked your heart
And you shut the door
I would knock and
Knock everyday
I waited for a response
Then I walked away
Soon I grew tired
Of trying to earn your trust
Your teardrops on
doorknobs begin to rust
It was pointless to knock
So I just walked in
Your trust in me
Growing more thin

"No more doors
We can have a new start
Now I only have
To unlock your heart"

"But why should I trust
The one that didn't knock?"

*"Because I am the only one
That cares about your lock

Everyone else left
For the same reason I stayed
Because I couldn't bare
To watch you use that blade"

Everybody knows
that when you sleep
You drift into your mind
a little too deep
You have dreams that you like
and dreams that are scary
Dreams you wish to live
And dreams you wish to bury
Sometimes our minds
Lose control when we sleep
So we live too high
And fall too steep
Sometimes we dream
Of people in our lives
Sometimes they're decent
And sometimes they die
But what we don't understand
About these things
Is that they have a meaning
What ever that may bring

Poetry is just taking

Fear
Pain
And anger
And forcing it into words

Poetry is simply taking

Sadness
Depression
And anxiety
And giving it rhythm

Poetry is merely taking

Worry
Love
And broken hearts
And making it a pattern

Poetry is taking these things
And writing it in blood
Pouring your heart out
And giving them life
