The flow of words penned by another human being,
describing what you feel.
The moment of connectedness,
when you know you're not alone.
The experience of loving someone for their feelings.
Saying to oneself "ahh...so that's what that is.
The thoughts of my mind formed by your pen."

I've swallowed the pill
and it's a bitter one
containing all the lies
you've ever told.
Stuck in this whirlpool of doubt
I can't see a way out.
I find the pill is turning
sweet as sugar in my mouth.
I'm spiraling out of control.
To late to stop my decent.
I'm just waiting for the crash
as I hit the end of the tunnel.
But I'm struggling
tasting the bitterness
again and again.

And so the summer ends
with a sparkle and a bang.
The brilliant flash of a firecracker
a pleasure gone to soon.
The time has flown
and now goodbyes must be said.
As the Autumn creeps back to chill.
I'll wait for the snow
and its soft falling.
To bring me back my darling,
so wait for me by the sycamore tree.
As the leaves turn green once more
and the spring will bloom for us, dear.
The spring will bloom for us.

Evil hides in the darkness
and I've tried so hard,
my dear,
to make you see
your black thoughts rear their head.
I'm the knight
and the dragons are all around you.
Your emotions curl and hiss
and all I have is a spear.
But I'm afraid to strike, my darling.
I'm afraid to charge.
Seeing they're so wrapped around you.
I've failed to be your shining knight
because all I'm fighting is your
black twin,
and sometimes I can't see the
difference between the two.

The times we laughed
and I thought you my friend
must have been special only to me,
have you so soon forgotten
our time together?
You abandon me for more popular fellows.
But I can tell you now
they won't be half as faithful
as I would have been.
Taking and never giving
they'll talk about you behind your back.
Remember me
when the whispers leak back
to surround you,when their twisted lies
form as truth in your mind.
Remember there was once one
who thought you beautiful.
