Shattering the space around me
The air itself is static
My skin-too fragile
Scratch me, drag the nails through and through
Cut to the bone-
Your words
My skin-too fragile
You don't understand
The dagger in my ear
Infecting my mind with poison
Poison running through my veins-
I stop still
Don't move-
DANGER
I can't take it
The words you haven't said
Pushing me over the edge
I live on a narrow line of sanity
Even the slightest stir in the atmosphere
Even the slightest touch
I lose my grip, falling off the edge of reality
I lose myself

Why
Why do you
Describe it so gently
As if it were glass
And could shatter
Love is not broken
So easily
In fact
It's not broken at all
It's larger than life
And not easy to lose
Always in sight
And has nothing to prove
Quite confident,
It is!
But easily fooled...
Some find this amusing
And make it a ruse
oh Let's bully this love
Make it believe that we care!
oh How we will laugh
When it's shocked and impaired!
Embarrassed and abashed
At the lies and the dare
But love is alive
And some think it's quite folly
That it's stupid and jolly
That through all in all
It continues about
Patient and welcome
And kind
And no doubts
And with time it matures
It never hates on the haters
And lets truth be spoken
Love lives in your heart .

And your heart is what's broken.

you were the most i've ever loved
your best was better
and your worst was worse
now my love life
is surely cursed
for in the eyes
of potential lovers
i see the love
they will never live up to

he called me an angel

In this world
Of sickness or health
In this world
Of distance or wealth
In this world
In this time
I know I can't be yours
You know you can't be mine

you say it's ******* hard
but i already know
i said thats why we try
but then i watched you go

It's funny how the heart continues to love even after it's been broken.

i stood there wondering what it was that i was feeling
i don't know how long i stood there
i couldn't even tell you if i was actually standing
i could't tell my body from the ground or the people around me
the only thing i know is that it was raining that day
it was remarkable really
i've never know the weather to move through walls before
i tried to look up to see the rainclouds that lurked in over my head
but i only saw the back of my eyelids
i wondered if i really was blind
was i always?
i heard the thunder then
and the lightning struck me
it was her voice
and i felt my heart shatter

stop
feeling
everything

open your eyes
you're not blind
you're just scared
scared of the truth
open your eyes
and take things as they come

it's not rain, babe
those are tears
it's time to come up for air
it's time to catch your breath
it's time to breath

I opened My eyes
and I saw Her

I opened My eyes
and I saw Myself

i thought i had found the words that fit the feeling
but it turns out the feeling doesn't fit into words

Why
Why do you
Describe it so gently
As if it were glass
And could shatter
Love is not broken
So easily
In fact
It's not broken at all
It's larger than life
And not easy to lose
Always in sight
And has nothing to prove
Quite confident,
It is!
But easily fooled...
Some find this amusing
And make it a ruse
oh Let's bully this love
Make it believe that we care!
oh How we will laugh
When it's shocked and impaired!
Embarrassed and abashed

And some think it's quite folly
That it's stupid and jolly
That through all in all
It continues about
Patient and welcome
And kind
And no doubts
And with time it matures
It never hates on the haters
And lets truth be spoken
Love lives in your heart .

And your heart is what's broken.

Kindness, to me
It's kind of like a flower
Only every time I'm given one
It's poisonous and thorny
They ***** me and fill me with betrayal
And turn to ash in my hands
How am I to know
That your kindness is genuine
That you don't want to hurt me
And even if you don't
I still know that every flower
Will die in the end

step by step
by step by step
my arms the rungs
i lift them up
to a better place
than they were before
and never asking for a hand
afraid that they would change their minds
and decide i wouldn't be good enough
for them to step all over me
as if it were a privilege
to be used
by them

Your sweet smile brings me back to a time when I actually thought you were made of sugar...

beautiful poison
sickly sweet
***** my finger on a thorn
my blood as red as the petals of a rose
you hold my heart
and wrap it in barbed wire
i feel so safe
and so dangerous
i could spend my last seconds on this earth
******* poison from your lips

3 shots of whiskey and a box of thin mints is all it took to get over u...

how is it that this one boy can make me feel as if i'm not enough and too much all at the same time?

addicted to the way you break my heart

i'm not sorry
for offering you
my love
i'm sorry
that you don't recognize
it's value
i'm sorry
you don't
deserve me
i'm sorry
for every time
you cheat yourself
out of finding
true love
but i'm not sorry
for myself
because it's your loss
not mine

I was there.
When it all went to ****.
Don't you remember?
I held your hand.
I stood by your side.
I took every bullet.
Just to keep you safe.
But it didn't last.
Because apparently I'm too complicated to be a doormat...

u think that i dont notice
every time i look up
ur eyes look back at me
but i thought i knew u didnt want me
and i guess ur having second thoughts
because now im not there
and now u want me back
well i guess u missed ur chance
but every time i catch ur glance
its tempting me...

every time i think someone might actually care...

beautiful
and broken
they tell me he won't stay
but his eyes are scars inside my mind
and I know my will won't sway
they don't understand how good he is
he understands the words I twist
he knows my soul, and I won't go
beautiful
and broken
is my love's heart of gold
beautiful
and broken
they tell me he will fade
but his words are scars inside my heart
and I know my love won't stray
they don't understand the place he's in
he understands the life I live
we know we're broken, but my heart is sold
to a beautiful boy
with a heart of gold

I love you, Gabe

blooming buds and puddle suds

   rainy days and little fawn graze

                    dandelion seeds and petals in the breeze

           morning dew and skies so blue

               you think of me, I think of you

Moments there are when I'm high,

A feeling I can't quite describe,

Nights are the most lonely times,

But when the sun comes up I'm down again.

Quickly swept into the day,

The wind picks up and makes me sway,

Both friends and strangers will me to stay,

But I go home and I'm down again.

The highs and lows of now and then's,

My moods seem to swing on a pendulum,

I'll visit places I've never been,

But when I return I'm down again.
