Others are frightened by it,
The thought of nonexistence.
You cease to exist
You're done.
That's it  

But it's different for me.
The cease to exist
Isn't what scares me
But the thought of your body laying there
Dead.
Cold.
The idea that family members think they can shake you awake.
The peek a boo moment they long for
That you were just playing.
It was all a joke.

The horrible moment when it's unexpected
You were ok the day before
But now lays your body.
Dead.
Cold.
No one saw it coming.
And you're not the only one who thinks this.
The foretelling moments leading up
That will forever be questioned
With what if scenarios
Why didn't I see this
Or go see you then.
Why did I let you go
Why didn't I come.

The death we get over.
The moments leading up to it
Is
What
Rots
Our
Soul.

I know what it's like
To wake up in the middle
Of the night
Holding your own hand
So you don't feel alone
You hold it tight.

To walk alone
Through this life
Talking to your self
All night
Trying to fall asleep
ALRIGHT!
You want to close your eyes
But your head keeps talking
Useless information
Clench your eyes
Trying to block it

Nothing seems to work
Cause you're just trying
To fight it
You don't want to give in
Because you just want to
Make right
And if
You did
And you won
And you got to sleep tonight
And if you woke up
Not crying
Then maybe you can deal
And this life is just right
Cause you defeated
Yourself thinking
But that was just one night
And
You have the rest of your life
To fight and keep fighting
You live in your memories
Present is the past
Pick up your right foot
You're not gonna settle
For dead last.

I stay silent
As the world goes on
Without me.

I stay silent
As I weep in
My room quietly.

I stay silent
Because there's no
Point in talking.

I stay silent
Because what I
Have to say
Some won't take
Lightly
And the chance
My words get
Through is
Unlikely
But the fact that
I said something
Might be untimely
Listen as I speak
As I try to
Politely.

You illuminate my world
Like a glow in the dark ball.

I look to the night sky,
Because you're my North Star.

I know when my life gets hard,
You'll be there.

Because through night and day,
I know you're still there.

My North Star.

Give me all that you've got
And I'll give you my whole world
Ill take care of you when you're sick
I will care for you when you're broken
I can give you everything.

As long as you give me just you.

I feel so safe
Whenever you're here
And I can see your face
When you're not near
Knowing you love me
Conquers my fears.

Come in
And forget about this
Close your eyes
And breathe in.

Ill shut  the window
As you begin to sleep
I want you here with me
Sleeping peacefully.

I feel so safe whenever you're here
And I can see your face
When you're not near
Knowing you love
Keeps me safe here,
Conquer my fears.

Rest your eyes and forget about this
Hold my hand and I'll caress your
Lips
Im taking care of you
So you can sleep it off
Just like you always do
I'm glad our paths crossed.

Feeling like I'm out of control
Like a truck racing down
A slippery course
With its brakes lost
And theres no hope in stopping
Who's going to stop me now?

Who will stop me now?

I feel like a bullet
Shot from a gun
Piercings everyones hearts
Upset with what I've done
And how I've done wrong
How will I erase this now?

How?

I feel like, Im running on empty
Like my gas light is blinking
I feel like I am going crazy
Because I'm stuck always walking back
But I know it's only temporary
I'm just really trying to adapt.

Adapt.

I'm tumbling out of control
Like a gymnast bending into a fold
Sky diving into the floor
My parachute won't open
At least for me anymore.

No more.

I've used people
To get what I want
But now I'm lonely at the top
And yelled at
The people I love
Because money was my happiness
But money isn't love.

Money isn't love.

I must admit
This feelings kind of funny
The way you break up the clouds
Like it was always sunny.

I can't stop thinking
If we were together
I could make you happy
No matter what the weather.

I can see us holding hands
Smiling at one another
Never leaving behind
What we look forward.

But what is a dream
To mere reality?
Is it just a tease or is its actual
Practicality ?

Practically we should be together
Reality thinks not.
Our eyes match each day
Our hearts are threading knots.

I'm ready if you are
Just tell me when to go
I'll listen to every story
I'm ready for us to glow.
