What is this feeling
I'm hiding inside?
What is this mask
I seem to stand by?

Why are my feelings uncertain
Yet so very kind?
Why is it you
That lingers on my mind?

When will this feeling
Begin to slide?
When will I be able
To feel alive?

Where are you going
In the dark of night?
Where is the love
That seems to just slide?

Who can make me happy
When looking through my eyes?
Who is waiting for me
To open my mind?

Our hearts were buried
Beneath the waves.
My broken heart
Was turning gray.
You never felt sorry,
You never went away.
But the hardest part
Was watching you stay.

Amongst the world
You are only one
A small little matter
Against a ton
But because you are one
You entirely won
Because being yourself
Is only something done
By you, your mind
That endless run.

I was once a flower
Blooming for you
Until my color completely faded
From pink to blue.
My petals were upright,
Incredibly beautiful,
And then at one point,
I started dying for you.

You were like winter,
Cold and blue,
Your words left me wondering,
Who are you?
The brightness I felt
At the beginning of June
Faded to nothingness
Without you.


                         What is a life without you?

What do you consider love to be?
A tender apple falling from a tree?
A simple kiss above the knees?
Is it true that love comes in threes?

I consider love to be
The world itself, the world to me.
A world that's fair, a world that's free.
What do you consider love to be?

The feeling went away
But never did you
You stuck like glue
To the sole of my shoe.

You left me tired
You left me blue
But lately I
Don't think of you.

The pain-
It goes away
But not forever.
It is hidden
By love, lust, fortune,
Maybe even fame.
But the slightest itch
The slightest memory
Can drive one insane.

I remember being six years old
Swallowed by dreams,
Until I realized
Dreams are not what you think.
The sudden taste of forever
Can linger in your mind,
But forever is only a fear
You hide inside.

Forever's not given,
Forever's not kind.
Forever's not something.
You don't understand why.
But rather than dwell,
You just say goodbye.
Goodbye's a lot easier
Than not knowing why.
