Distant persisting fragments
endure unstirring in your heart
you pick them away piece by piece
yet every part is the same sharp
as as frosty wind on your cheeks.

“You have to move, get up.”
“I don’t want to.”
“This is sad you need to get over yourself.”
“I’m broken, and I don’t think I can be fixed.”
“Then fake it. Get up and put on a smile.”
“It hurts too much; I just want to cry.”
“No crying! It’s not worth it.”
“But I just can’t let go…”
“You have to move on. It’s the only way.”
“Please, all I want is five minutes to let it all out.”
“You’re pathetic. Fine. Five minutes.”
“Thank you,” said the heart.
“You’re welcome,” said the mind.
And the heart and mind cried together.
Just for five minutes.

He
Held me
When I was afraid

He
Listened to me
When I was upset

He
Comforted me
When I was crying

He
Left me
When I needed him most

He
Remains here, still
An empty shell of what once was
A pitiful looking ghost

I am not good
I know
But what is your definition of good
Is it being like you
Is it defined by the ability to watch others suffer
Is it defined by your greed
Does my lacked of hatred soil your good
Does it make "it" bad?
If so I'd rather stay a bad monster,
Than a "good" human.

Never will I learn
To stay away from fire
Aware that I will be burned
Yet still I crave its heat

Take a deep breath,
Hush now, baby
Wipe your tears,
Wear your smile.

Sleep now baby,
You don't have to worry.
I'll protect you so please,
Lay on me, I'll sing a lullaby.

Hug me tight,
Like there's no next
night for the both of us,
Sleep now baby.

I'll be by your side,
You can now forget your
Problems for a little while.
Sleep now baby.

your eyes look like sunset today
