how do i escape
all the mistakes i made
my heart was left agape
i just want the pain to fade

when will it all end
i've already lost this war
why waste my time left to spend
when i can't do anything more?

where would i go?
there is no where left to turn
everything is beginning to slow
i have nothing left to earn

how do i walk away?
how do i let go?
how do i start each day?
how do i pay this debt i owe?

when the day reaches its end
when the sun finally sets
can i still call you a friend?
is this the best it gets?

soon the world will see
just how much you mean to me
but that's a thing of the past
you are free at last.
wrote this one when i was in a bad place but i am much better and okay now :)

the water stings
my heart aches
my soul burns

it almost saved me
but it will never heal me
my head is too far gone

there is no blood yet i bleed
there is no knife yet i bear scars
there is company yet i remain alone

alone in the dark
too deep for the cries to be heard
fading away without a second fate

i wish you would tell me
just how you feel
i want to know what you think
i want to learn all about you
i crave it

it pains me to sit and watch
while you walk a different path
i want you to walk my way
but all you see is the opposite

moving away from me
while i follow
you slip further away
while i dive deeper still

her coldness keeps you numb
just long enough to null the pain
then she lets go

she floods you with her anger
too much to bear
you can no longer stay afloat

she floods your heart

your heart drowns

she has won

the fire burns with passion
the moon settles into its home
the stars rise with no doubt
the waves crave to be understood
the heart beats with a bleeding rigor
the wind calls down upon the trees
none will have fear
all will be celebrated

what is
will never end

but will also never be

what makes some uneasy
makes me feel at ease
the way she moves with mystery
fills my heart with sincerity

how many wishes does it take
to get to the center of a frozen lake

how many cries does it take
to get over a heartbreak

how many years does it take
to realize i was never awake
