I should cut out my tongue.
What's the use of these words if they fall on deaf ears?
But I know you still hear me
screaming through the darkness, " let me in"
I've become entangled in your ****** up fairy tale
Writhing and twisting just to get a little closer
But how did I get here?
I fell through your eyes like rabbit holes
And I ran so fast I lost myself
Searching for the parts that don't belong to me
That heart, that soul, but I had a look and I can't let go
I'm not scared... I'm in pain
But I'll try to be brave
I'll do the right thing
I'll walk away if you'll just let go
Just let me forget that I found you exposed
So willing to share the darkness
I vaguely remember the warning that you gave me
But you led me too deep and just left me there
I need you to find me and lead me back to sanity
Or stay with me so I'm not so alone

Your lips taste like an eternity of exquisite suffering. I'll bare that pain because I know that it brings with it the sultry beauty of your lovely soul. My lips no doubt taste like the regret of words that have for too long gone unspoken.

She'll be the girl who waited
Naked and alone in the cage that she's built to keep out wandering hearts
She'll never know what it is to be a human with a soul that is connected to another human soul
She'll let her fear consume her from the inside until there's nothing left but flesh and a blank stare
She'll **** and drink and run and write in an effort to forget
She'll sink and swallow and gasp for breath to fill an empty shell
She'll scratch and claw and devour innocent hearts
She'll burn for her sins in an everlasting hell
She'll embrace the darkness that she once kept hidden from herself
She'll let the shame and misery wash over her and become the monster that she was bred to be

I see the way things are.
I see the way things should be.
The distance between these points is vast and the journey is overwhelming.
We travel so far just to overcome our own personal demons.
The world as we know it is a demon in and of itself; a scary place when the lights are off.
But when we face things head on, we may find that we are stronger than we realize, that we are not alone, and that the fear we feel is a construct of our minds.

It's 2 AM. I'm staring at the ceiling. You're laying beside me, but we're worlds apart. I want to ask what you're thinking, but I'm afraid that I already know the answer. We both just need some sleep.
It's 3AM. I'm staring at the wall. The shadows haven't changed. You're right where I left you. And we're both lost somewhere inside of ourselves. If I could just reach out...but it feels so far.
It's 4AM. I'm staring at the back of my mind. I can't breathe. I need sleep. This body feels like a coffin...and this mind just won't stop spinning. I lost you somewhere in the night, but I'll find you in my dreams.

I see the beauty in the broken, but I can't seem to find the beauty in myself. I'm falling, crumbling, collapsing. It's painful. I'll never turn it off. I think I'm more afraid of being numb...of letting myself feel a hollow nothing, than to give in to my madness and let everything swallow me whole. We live. We die. We struggle in between. Seems fairly pointless. My own sense of happiness is always too short lived.

I could fall for you. Harder than I've ever fallen before. You know my heart. Its beat. You've timed it rhythmically. Like you know me. Like this is capable of being an epic love. But I fear that I don't deserve you. Your purity. But then again... **** it. This is what I want. What I need. Ride or die.
To the very end. I want that one person...to be MY PERSON. The one person that I can rely upon. The one person who
relies on me...without taking advantage of my kindness. I want YOU to be that person. I'll be your revolutionary woman. I'll be everything you need. Just show me how to get to where you are. Your spiritual enlightenment is what I wish to achieve.  It's all I've ever wanted in my life. Just be who you are...and let me be a part of that. And let me love every fiber of your being. Together...we are stronger than the sum of our parts.
