I still remember
the first time my lips
touched yours

I still remember
how my lips felt
after the first kiss,
after every kiss

Every kiss felt like the first
My heart stopped
with every kiss
you blessed me with

I still remember
your smell when we first hugged
I still remember
the feeling on my back
with your hands touching it
every time you hugged me.. back
(I say back because you never initiated anything)

Your name still moves my heart
Your name still brings tears into my eyes
Happy and sad tears

My mind still goes back
to the moment our eyes first met

Our firsts, seconds, thirds...
are all saved in my memory

Making you giggle
was my favorite thing to do

Your smile
Your laugh
Your happiness
Still means the world to me

I care about your happiness
more than I care about mine
I think about your comfort
more than I think about mine

You engraved yourself
into my heart
without even knowing

Your name is my tongue's favorite

As days have gone by
You forgot all about me
But I...
I still remember all of you
Funny how I have a really bad memory with everything except things related to you. I wish someday I'd mean as much to you as you mean to me. I am alway the one who loves and cares more, that is both my curse and blessing.

"I'm here if you need me. I'm here if you need to talk, I'll listen."
I say every time I know she does
But she's always so reserved
Afraid to speak her feelings

"Thank you I'm fine, really"
Is the lie she tells every time
Followed by a fake smile
Thinking I can't tell the difference

Feelings are weakness
Is what she thinks

Her lips are smiling
but her eyes are crying

Her eyes have so much to say
But she bites her tongue
preventing it to speak

She holds on to her feelings so tight
Not knowing who to trust with it

I show her that she can trust me
I tell her that she can trust me but
She can't see
She can't hear

Look! I am here for you
You are not alone
I swear I am here

I want to be your safe haven
I want you to come to me
when you're happy,
when you're sad

Come. Talk. Laugh. Cry.
I'll listen
Wrote this one for my friend who's going through some tough times.

Wide mouth mason jar
To capture the loneliness,
Her hands remain still.

If God was real
He'd let me die-
Too much suffering
In this tiresome life.
He'd know the thrill
Is not worth the strife,
And all the heavy
Outweighs the light.

If I could feel,
Then I could try.
All the emptiness and sorrow
Would simply all subside.
If I could crawl out from the darkness
And beg for acceptance in light-
Maybe if I weren't so numb I might.

Hollow is this whole wide world,
Filled with greed and hate-
Crumbling around me
And they blame it on the plates.
Power and destruction-
I can't come to appreciate
What we have done...
To this place.

I am born of burdens,
I was born too late.
Missed my chance
So the devil danced me
To my fallen fate.
Held captive to damnation,
I will waste my life away.
Wondering- is this a dream?
And when will I
When will I, when will I
Wake??

Hollow is this heavy heart
That beats for needless, just to bleed.
All this screaming on the inside
Raised the monster, raised the beast.
How can I strike it down without
Destroying me?
I was doomed to rule the darkness
Etched in stars- the destiny.
If there is a God out there, then tell me,
Where is his mercy?

So alone, and I'll die alone like this.
So alone, and I'll wear it on my wrists.
So alone, everyone leaves eventually.
All things must end, except the
Great infinity.
So numb! And I'll keep myself this way.
So numb! And I'll **** myself some day.
So numb! And I've nothin more to say.
Yes, this will end,
Make no mistake-
You too will ache.
Yes, it all ends,
Not hard to break-
You too will ache.

This is actually a blues/metal song, but I haven't written anything in a while so I figured it might be worth posting.

Take these, they say;
They will help, they say.

How ‘bout some venlafaxine?
That will stop you wanting to die.

Bit anxious?
Some lorazepam will fix that!

Oh, how’s your sleeping?
Temazepam, zopiclone!
That’ll do the trick.

Your mood is unstable?
We have something to cure that!
We’ll add on some lithium and quetiapine,
How does that sound?

You’ll be all better in no time.

You take the pills,
Two in the morning (with a large glass of water)
During the day (as needed)
Three more in the evening (after food)
And three at night (an hour before bed)

Am I all better yet?

Well, I guess I don’t feel anxious..
And my mood isn’t all over the place…

In fact; I don’t have a mood at all.

Nothing.

Zombiefied.
