I don't know what I'm doing here
I don't know where I am
The only thing I remember is your face
Smiling sadly at me from above
As I go to speak your name
My breath catches as I cannot remember
Though I feel it right on the tip of my tongue
I know you like I know I need to breathe
But I have no memory of you

Who are you
Why do I know you
Why, can I not remember you
Why does looking in your eyes, bring tears to mine
My heart yearns for a touch that I cannot remember ever feeling
It wells up in my chest like I'm holding in a scream  
As if I am trying to cry out your name in desperation
But I do not know it

You are the most familiar mystery to me
My favorite book I have never read
I know you but I cannot tell you how
The worst of all
is the tears on your face tell a story about us that I have never heard
You are a stranger
We have not even really met
But you have become a part of me
That I cannot live without

The further you are
The slower my heart beats
The longer I go without hearing your voice
The more deaf I become

You are that first breath of air
To a drowning man
The last little light
Keeping darkness at bay

Absence makes the heart grow fonder
But instead it has torn mine in two
How have you become so important
When I haven't even met you

You are a stranger
We have not even really met
Still I need you like a flower does rain
Yet I know that all I feel
With a wasted breath, be spoken in vain
Dumb messages
Full of silly words
Laced with promises
Never to be kept

An emptiness left
That only you could fill
Shattered a broken heart
That just started to heal

Dumb messages
Filled with hope
Silly Words
The promises we broke

It may hurt in the moment
But the future self knows
These bittersweet moments
Makes the heart grow cold

Dumb messages
Silly words
Promises made
Promises broke
You swept through my life
like a summer storm
gone as fast as you came
and left a trail of destruction in your wake

Ruined songs
a broken heart
and bitter dreams
of sweet melancholy

Pulled in by the first kiss
and blown away by the last
I was swept away
by your torrential love
The traces of your touch
Still linger on my skin
The shadows of your memory
Still bombard my thoughts
An infinite loop
Of bittersweet nightmares

Overwhelming
But sickly satisfying
The desire to fight
Turns to plea’s of death
Attempting to end it all
By drifting into eternal slumber

But I always wake
From my desolate dreams
To a living terror
That day by day
Rips me apart

I need you here
Im going insane
So I hold on
To my agonizing hope,
My most precious pain
reality
who's to say that what you call reality
is even real at all
maybe the fantasy I have created
is the truth
but you insist on trying to blind me with lies

What if i'm right
and good defeats evil
truth conquers lies
and light shines through the darkness

What if i'm right
that true love exists
and theres someone for us all
waiting for us to open our eyes and look
what if i'm right
and I can go throughout life like I live in a book
My temptation,
My alluring forbidden fruit

A succulent and sweet taste
Lies within those soft lips
But still, i must distance myself
With you just beyond my grasp

My temptation,
My alluring, forbidden fruit  

With fair skin, as soft and white
As a winters first snow.
Captivating me with your touch

My temptation,
My alluring, forbidden fruit

No matter how hard I fight it
From the very first taste,
That first stolen kiss
I became addicted.
To you, My sweet forbidden fruit
