When he's done with me
He leaves
I'm left empty
And hollow
My life left astray
I can always make him ***
But I can never make him stay

I want to be somebody's somebody
To love and be loved
To trace the lines of my somebody's hand as their fingers intertwine with mine
I want to be somebody's forever
Not just somebody's for now
I want to kiss my somebody's lips
And taste eternity on their breath
I want to give myself to somebody
And know that I'll be safe
To receive my somebody's heart
And keep it in my secret place
For my eyes only
Is my somebody out there?
Does my somebody exist?
Or like love itself
Is my somebody a myth?

Under the grayest of skies
On the sandiest of shores
With the saltiest of seas
Did we lay.

Hand in hand
Heart to heart
Soul to soul
Nothing separating us but fear.

Let the birds of the sky
Or the fish of the ocean
Bear witness to what would be,
Two bodies becoming one
In a castle by the sea.

No place forbidden
No scar unseen
My only desire, to love
And be loved
By he.

When the sun set
The tide came in
And my love was swept into the sea.

And there was no soul
In all of forever
Quite as lonely as me.

Alone by the sea
In our kingdom by the sea.

There was once a little girl
Lost
Left alone in the world
Swept away in the tides of life
She sank
To the bottom of the saltiest sea
Kissing forever with the soles of her feet
She was not afraid
But at peace
For cradled in the arms of eternity
She found herself
And knew where she had to begin
She learned what so few of us learn
That the only way out is within

I say "I am fat"
He says "No, you are beautiful"
I wonder why I can't be both.

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

If I could
I would tie your feet to a star
And send you off to the moon
Let you gaze upon the face of God
I'd trade my soul for you

And if I could
I'd build you a boat
And send you floating down a dream
And I would cry
As you went by
But you'd be safe
But you'd be safe

If I could
I'd take your heart
And put it on a shelf
It would know no pain
Never be broken
I'd protect it with my life

Sometimes at night
I come to your side
And watch you while you sleep
And pray that you would never wake
For at least in death you'd know peace

The end comes slowly
Time moves in reverse
The helpless become helpless again
The dust from which we were taken reclaims our bodies
And we cease to exist
The only thing we leave behind are those we touched
And if you're anything like me
You will leave nothing
Which begs the question
If one remembers you when you're gone
Were you ever really here?

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