The End.

He was the artist and I was the writer.
He was the picture and I was the thousand words.
But now
We are nothing.
And now
That's okay.
The end never really seems to be the end does it?

if i'm honest, i don't even know if i wanted you there
but as the silence cut through the radio played on
sometimes i'm so sick of the universe and its signs
even when it isn't wrong

if i'm honest, i laughed too hard
and smiled too much
because i wanted you to fall the same way i did
i wanted you to fall in love

if i'm honest, when you asked truth or dare
it scared the life out of me
i could tell by the look in your eyes
that you knew you could end my being

if i'm honest, in the dimly lit room
i wanted to lose myself in you again
i really can make everything out of absolutely nothing
after all, we're just friends

but if i'm honest, after the one o'clock walk
and you went home to sleep
i must have left my being on the other side of the street
because it didn't come back until two or three

if i'm honest, i only told you that i couldn't go
because i couldn't see you with anyone else
i'm not sorry that i didn't go, though
i guess right now i'm just not myself

and if i'm honest, i just laid in bed
all of the very next day
after seeing you, i always fall so low
waiting to hear from the one who went away

maybe i don't want to be this honest
but i need to stop lying to myself
if i'm honest, it's good to get all of this out
even if it means you shutting down

but if i'm honest, i don't know if i want you to read this
i don't know who i want to be
i only know what i always have
that somehow, i just need you to be there with me.

I never saw the same love in you twice
Black was for hate
Innocence for white
You're insecurities were green
Wasn't that your favorite feeling?
The depression was blue
And anger was red
Funny that's the color I always thought of you as
Purple for the royalty you think you are
How did things fall that far?
This chameleon love could only go on for so long
What made a rainbow so wrong?

You said you'd never come back
What a far cry from what we've had
I'm still clinging to the last hope
As it dangles from a thread
You said please if you ever were to see me again
Don't even look at me
Please if you ever see me again
I hope that you forget to leave

I left a candle burning for you
Lighting up the sleepless nights
I left a fire burning for you
Won't you come home tonight?

My eyes are wide open
Watching the flames go out
In the early morning hours
I'm all alone now
You said love changes everything
I said all you do is leave
Now here I am and there you are
Don't you want to feel me breathe?

I left a candle burning for you
Lighting up the sleepless nights
I left a fire burning for you
Won't you come home tonight?

These nights waiting up
Are nothing compared to what you put me through
These nights falling apart
Are not nearly the worst of you
Maybe I was wrong about everything
Maybe you cared more than I'd like to think

Maybe you leave a candle burning for me
Casting shadows on your sleepless nights
Maybe you leave a fire burning for me
But it just wasn't worth the fight

I'll still leave a candle burning for you
Lighting up the sleepless nights
I'll leave a fire burning for you
I know you won't come home tonight
I know this was a long one. Thanks for reading to the end! :)

When the lights go out
When promises are broken
When tears fall
Broken glass
Plastered walls

Mascara stains on my bedroom door
Slumped on the back
Laying on the floor
Sometimes I don't even know what for
Broken with tears streaming down my face
So I'll grab my keys and drive to your place
Knock on the door, I wonder what you'll say
Maybe just tell me to go away
Oh dear god just hold me close
Hold be once before you go
Kiss me once so that I'll know
I never needed your affection
I never needed your roses

There's a knock, knock, knock on your bedroom door
We both know that it's her
So you jump up fast and I'm on the floor
I knew this was a mistake
Oh and I know what I did it for
So I jump, jump, jump out the window now
I don't know when and I don't know how
But then I woke up cause the music's too loud
There's still stains on my door
And I'm still laying on the floor
Only now I'm crying more than before
Because you were just a piece of dreamland lore
So I'll hush, hush now
And then go to sleep
Maybe, just maybe
You're dreaming of me
So this is different...

the only thing worse than the heavy sobs
is the silent, wet eyes
when you hurt too much to even cry

Someone to Love

Honestly
I just want someone
who loves me
for me
someone who sees all of my
flaws and scars
and won't run away
gently kissing them instead
slowly, lightly, trailing
gentle fingertips across the maps of my skin
and whisper in my ear
of far away lands
and childhood memories
until we fall asleep
hands between our bodies
fingers interlaced and legs tangled in the sheets
I want endless nights
of pure bliss and rough nights
I want our ups
as well as our downs because that's part of love
I want the lows just as much
as the highs
because without it
I would never properly appreciate the highs
and without the lows
I would forget how good
happiness feels
I want to get drunk on your
Kisses
and high on your
Touch
fall asleep to the sound of your
Heartbeat
sway to the sound of your
Voice
losing myself in your
Eyes
I want to whisper my secrets in your
Ear
and reminisce with you
about growing up,
first loves, and memories we created
I want to dive into your mind
and learn you
from the inside out
curling up and snuggling into your crevices
I'll make my home there
baring myself for you just as you've done for me

Honestly it's late and this was so spur of the moment. I latched onto the first thought that formed in my head and ran with it.

how is it that you can notice someone's haircut or their new shoes
but they don't notice a single thing
about you.

liquid light
comes creeping down the hall
tonight is the night
I am gone
drifting into another world
is this really real
or is it all a dream
what is reality but a perception of the mind
anything I believe could be real
what is life but made up stories from our kind
