I don't want you to see the beauty in me
I want you to see beauty
Cold winter breathes
acid in the rain

Blinded by ashes
it grows harder to
inhale your touch

My bones ache
in the night
as the heat sets
into molten stone

An inner freeze
enters my body
creating a storm
of the ancients
so far away
When all desire at last and all regret
Go hand in hand to death, and all is vain,
What shall assuage the unforgotten pain
And teach the unforgetful to forget?
Shall Peace be still a sunk stream long unmet,—
Or may the soul at once in a green plain
Stoop through the spray of some sweet life-fountain
And cull the dew-drenched flowering amulet?

Ah! when the wan soul in that golden air
Between the scriptured petals softly blown
Peers breathless for the gift of grace unknown,
Ah! let none other written spell soe’er
But only the one Hope’s one name be there,—
Not less nor more, but even that word alone.

I think im nostalgic for life
Through music
And books
Because i havent lived
A day of my life

No one really lives
In this town

And i think im poetic
Because im homeless
But i live in a house
But im not
Im not poetic
Im just a brat
What's left for me
I'm not depressed happy or sad
Not upset angry or mad
Emotionless
As calm as the sea after the hurricane  
Only thought after thought in my brain
What are they telling me
My brain doesn't even understand me
And yet it controls me?
What a contradiction
Feeling sorry for me ?
Dont, empathy I dont need
It would be a waste of time I don't have
Just waiting on the next wave this world going to throw at me
Taking it head on
Head strong
I'd sell you some thoughts but I'm selfish
Plus you couldn't handle them
Chances of descripting is slim to none
Thoughts mysterious like rain when its sunny
So you get none
I have nothing else to say  
But what's left for me
He holds his breath
So she can gather her thoughts
He would die for her
And she would watch
His hands are numb from
strangling the demons inside
she's clawing out her eyes
to see that you were
never there to begin with
Hazel eyes :)

I saw her in the hallway at school
Started walking by, tryin'a play it cool
I looked at her, and she looked at me
That little moment sparked an unknown journey

Sitting at home,
Staring at the phone,
Waiting for her reply,
Who knew time could fly,

It turned into sitting in the back of the class
Passing notes across the room
It made my heart beat fast
When I'd see that smile, that radiated from you

Now the thing that got me crazy bout her,
What my heart kept beating louder,
A smile my disguise, as I got lost in her hazel eyes

They Sparkle in the sunshine,
Not my words but true,
Wishing you were mine,
Wondering what I'm going to do-o-ooh,..
When the only one I want..
Is you..
( I swear it's true-ooh )
(The only one I want)
Is you.

I know you said never, (ever)
But I can't stop myself.
We're never getting together,
And it's putting me through hell.

What makes me stay,
Is the hope that all this time,
You've been hiding it away,
But you might be thinkin of being mine..

Maybe I'll just stay alone,
I'll still always be your friend,
Waiting here by the phone,
I wrote this just for you,
And I'm thinkin of hitting send.
These shards of broken glass,
Scattered memories of the past,
Crashed upon this floor,
As you walked out the door,
On the edge of the boulevard,
You stopped to gaze up at the stars,
They reminded you of someone,
The day that something begun,
Well let me tell you the truth,
I saw something in them too,
The way they shined so bright,
In the middle of the night,
That reminded me of you.
We've walked through town,
Around and around,
From street to street,
Every corner we meet,
Every night we slept,
The tears we wept,
There all gone now,
Some way some how,
It's okay to remember these,
These faint old memories,
But remember to thrive in the present,
And never resent,
As we leave the memories of our past,
Like shards of broken glass..
