Sometimes I feel like wilting roses
Not as colorful as I should be
Not as beautiful as I could be
Constantly losing pieces of myself
Waiting to be forgotten
Remembering that I was once the thing that made you smile

I find myself haunted by the ghosts of people that refuse to die.

In this room
Everyone that has ever rejected me
And their new girlfriends.

In this room
Every mirror is a magnifying glass
Illuminating every insecurity.

In this room
I'm five minutes too late to say goodbye.

In this room
Everyone is watching what you did to me
No one tries to stop you.

In this room
Every lie I've ever told is written on the walls.

In this room
It is quiet, dark, and I am alone.

In this room
The baby I never had
Is crying.

I can hear her
Her mesmerizing melodies calling me
Tempting me
I sway to her music
Fill my veins with her voice
And we are one again.

She covers me like a blanket
I can feel the warmth of her love
In my secret places
Its dark inside
And I'm afraid
But she is with me
Holding me
And I am safe.

When she leaves
My soul aches for her embrace
I hunger for her touch
I want to disappear
To leave her as she left me
But her lethal love injections
Are all that I know
And I am weak
And I can hear her
Her mesmerizing melodies calling me
Tempting me
I sway to her music
Fill my veins with her voice
And we are one again.

My lover wants me dead
But I have given her my heart
Sealed our love with a kiss
Till death do us part.
I just picked up nine months sober and that chip is weighing heavy in my pocket.

Come with me

In this moment
In this space
Only we exist
Two souls staring into the face of eternity

And together

Hold me like a prayer
Whisper me alive
For I am yours to love
And you are mine.

We will rewrite our destinies

Color me blue
And I will swallow the saltiest sea
Fill my lungs with the cleansing waves
Say goodbye to yesterday
And to tomorrow
Color me red
And I will slit my wrists
Watch crimson rivers run from my flesh
Until there is nothing left
Say goodbye to what was
And what could have been
Color me black
And I will pull the leather tight around my throat
Allow life to escape through my lips
Say goodbye to those noticed
And to those who didn't
Color me white
And I will take a pill for everyone I hurt
Fade into a dream
Become a distant memory
Say goodbye to myself
And finally
Let go.
