You told me that you were
Going to find yourself

As you walked into the ocean,
You never looked back

Every night I wished to the stars
That you would return

I must have been wishing to the moon
Because you never did
It really ****** me off when what I say and intend is turned into something horrid and cruel by someone because of what others have done to them.
Obviously I've got no truck for ******* mind games.
I'm writing you this letter because I have no address to send it to, and our relationship is such as it is that if I ever see you again and tried to speak, I would flounder upon the words. All these years later, I still receive visits from you in my dreams. I'll turn and almost expect to see you sitting beside me in the car, or reading in the park when I take my lunch break. I can still remember exactly how you felt in my arms, can still taste you if I think hard enough. The journal we shared found it's final flight from my arms in the only city I ever loved, the city that has changed me so much from the boy that didn't know what to do with a love like yours. That journal full of memories, full of who we used to be, has been brought to it's final home by the Atlantic tides. What's left of the romantic in me likes to believe it was found and read by someone who needed to know that portion of our stories. I've come full circle now I think, and I'm still grappling with the same questions I was then, still locked in combat with myself. I know that you're happy though, wherever you are. My heart still tells me that much. I hope that you've been able to turn forward and live for life's sake, and if you have, please send some of that my way. I could use some of that light you always carried with you now.
I don't know why
I even try to fly
when the world keeps
clipping my wings.
My soul must be made of honey
because I can't help but grin
when I see a couple walking
hand-in-hand.

I must have a sweet, sensitive soul.

Take the knife out of my back
And put it in my heart
I don't wanna hear your lies
So let's not even start

Cry yourself a river
As you drown in the tears
Standing just above the water
I've been here for years

You beg for me to take your hand
Keep you above the wake
But now your lies are sinking fast
& I'm about to break

I won't let you drag me down
Your lies are so deceiving
I did everything I could for you
I'm finished & I'm leaving
