Descending

It sleeps right beside you
Close to the heart
It breaks out the talons
And tears you apart

It follows your mind
Everyday till you fall
It curls up inside you
As you scream through the halls

It's silent as winter
When it's needed the most
It screams while you sleep
Haunting you like a ghost

It's the problem you face
Each day you're alive
It will leave you alone
The day that you die

It's your biggest fear
And your only hope
It's the demon inside you
And it's yearning to cope

To a Friend

To a Friend

I wish I could help you
Get back to who you were
Before all this time passed
And you wanted only her

We can pack up the memories
Throw them in the back of the shop
Help you move on and
Reclaim every tear that began to drop

But we can see that you're gone
And there's no chance of you coming to
I can't stand to the side while
You take the blade and do all you do

I just can't stand, I can't stand
The thought of losing you, my closest friend
I've known you forever but
It seems who I've known has come to his end

You're cracked and you know
That I see what's going on
It's time you packed your bags
And moved to the coming dawn

Just forget it all, come back
We all know that you're that strong
Please for the love of god
Don't do that and prove me your soul is gone

Small

Small

I stand there and wonder
When I look to the skies.
Past the clouds of thunder
And up into the heavens.

How small it makes me look
In comparison to out there.
Like each word in a book
Small in contrast to the rest.

Going even past the atmosphere
Out far into space.
Traveling miles away from here
Leaving the milky way.

Looking down from up there
It’s not possible to find me.
You probably wouldn’t care
Where I am in the first place.

However, it is a proven fact
That something so small can make a difference.
All I need to do is act
And I will show everybody.

Only one more thing to say
I may be small to the universe.
If I act upon today
I can change the world.

Maybe

Maybe

Maybe it's because
We stand beside each other
Maybe it's the way
We use our ways for cover

Maybe it's how I feel
When I'm with you
How everything feels just right
In everything we do

Maybe it's the way
You take a glimpse at me
And the smile that goes from side to side
And everything I see

Maybe it's the way
I don't know what to do
Whenever we are together
Only one person keeps me guessing, it's you

Maybe it's just how
I've never felt this way
Honestly and truthfully
There never was a day

The Lucky One

When I looked into your eyes
I melted in your gaze
When our hands intertwined
My heart leaped for joy
When we were together
Nothing mattered anymore
When you wanted to be with me
My heart exclaimed victory
So quick this time seemed
Yet we were together so long
For the past months
I had something to look forward to
On that one average day
The fireworks flew
We laughed and we blushed
We walked until there was nowhere to go
Until the sun departed
We held each other close as the hours slipped by
It would appear that time is never on our side
It never is
It is goodbye
But not for long
I linger in that last embrace
Hoping that time would slow
Alas those headlights are in view
I gaze into those eyes
“Goodbye, sleep well”
Our lips meet briefly
And in that last second
I know
She is perfect
