Little bird, this nest isn't big enough for you.
Fly on and find your tools to start anew.
Sing to the skies, let the world hear your hurt.
Pick at the ground and find your fuel.
Travel far, searching for your reason.
Give life to the world and leave it to grow alone.
Start your cycles over until you can no longer move.
Let yourself decompose, the others will feed off of your brittle bones.

I'm walking but I don't know where to,
It's a winding road that I've been on for what seems like years.
Lay down to rest my head, give my body to nature.
Stuck in the soil, sprouting slowly, but the rain comes and the lightning strikes.
I'm dead, but what's the difference?
I didn't stand a chance anyway.
Reborn; a cloud in the sky, I'm forming a tornado, touching ground, rapidly spinning and destroying everything in my path,
I'll gather everything around me and tear it up, drop it and dissipate.
I just want to be pure

Warm touch, where have you gone?
The touch I used to long for.
Sweet smile, you've lost your glimmer
It was so calming.
Kiss of satin, I'm withdrawing.
Burning to ashes, you'll forget about me,
don't let me burn out.
All I wanted was that feeling, but I can't feel anymore.

The wind is chilling to the bone
The echo is loud enough to leave a ringing noise in the back of your head for days
The tears burn like fire
You still can't seem to find a distinguished direction, yet you keep going
The smoke is thick and you can't escape
your heart hurts for those you have destroyed
the line is thin as you walk across the beam
but you take no time thinking of the risk
your legs fall weak
but you don't mind the mystery
the outcome of burning bridges with those of no past
the ghosts in your closet seem to come out when you're at your lowest
screaming for help in a lonely desert
no one seems to see the darkness that's washed over your face
losing touch with real emotions, you've built a guard that you don't put down until you've found love with the blooming flowers that you can't touch
when will you finally see the damage you've done?
there's nothing for you here, nothing for you there
you're left alone yet again with your thoughts and a pen
don't get me wrong,
this is your highest point
your words and your heart
but your heart is dark
and your mind is even darker
lonely child, you'll find your peace one day
just no time soon
this has no rhythm i know, i kind of just let my fingers and my subconscious take over
I'm sorry it's so messy but I've been pretty messy lately

Pill after pill and still the void lingers
Gripping my wrists begging to escape reality.
Ocean of velvet is where the high takes me.
Artificial comfort and happiness,
why can't you last forever?
Soon I'll forget what solid ground feels like,
and I'll lose myself to you again.

I stay awake at night because my demons won't let me rest.
They like to whisper in my ears with dreadful words and the taunting truth.
I don't dare lay down in silence because that's when they're loudest.
I stay up with television to distract myself until my eyelids fall weak.
I don't dare sleep because that's when the demons create the most vivid imagery.
No rest will rid of my demons, they haunt my dreams.
nominal Aug 2014
You make my face hot,
my heart race,
my toes tap,
my eyes light up,
and my knees weak;

out of fear,
because your hands were around my neck,
and my life was in your hands.
You left marks that no object or emotion could cover.
You're gone forever, but those repressed memories will be stuck with me for longer than that.
