There is something lurking so deep inside of me,
that just doesn't feel right.
Maybe it's from always expecting
that I have to fight.
I just want to give in
and put down my guard
Why does that have to be so hard?

"**** me," she whispered through her tears.
Her eyes glowed red, stained from the shattering of her heart.
"I can't," I say my voice breaking as I face the mirror.
I slowly break apart.
"You said you would if it got to hard," she cries.
"If you give up, then everything was for nothing," my voice quakes.
"It doesn't matter it was all lies!"
"But we were so close," my heart shakes.
"How can we make it?" she asks me
"We have to at least try," I bite my cheek.
"We won't make it," she tells me.
"We have too, I won't be weak!"
She shakes her head, doubt in her eyes,
but I had to try

The nights turned black
the moon is dead,
The shadows rise,
come for your head,
don't scream,
they'll only smile,
don't make a sound,
they're coming
close your eyes
nevermore will they see
plug your ears
nevermore will they hear,
hold your breath
nevermore will they breathe
oh...
these monsters are me

"Why are we here?" he asks me with a certain innocence resonating in his voice.
"I think we're here for something, we all have something we were meant to do," I say in a voice of certainty although the emotion doesn't reach my heart.
"What do you think you were meant to do?" he asks staring up at the pale sky with his hands shoved deep in his pockets, with a thoughtful expression on his face.
"I don't think I'm meant for anything, I was a mistake, someone must've really messed up," I say laughing dryly.
"I think you're wrong. You're a lot more special than you think. You should give yourself more credit, at least you're still here breathing."

A broken picture frame
lay in the corner
My face without a name
because I don't matter
Your motives shine through your eyes
you don't have to defend yourself
I hear the truth ringing through your lies
and I understand now
The only reason you're still here
is because you don't know how to say goodbye

I am alone, beneath the skin of a smiling girl.

I am weak, underneath the tough words.

I cry when the doors are closed

and I lie when I'm vulnerable.

I'm scared of the entire world

I hate to know pains cold fingers

they linger their frozen touch on my heart

and it's there I know I am falling apart.

I break like glass thats already cracked

shattered asunder, just like that.

Sometimes, while my lips quiver and my eyes shine with unshed tears

I think about what there isn't to fear.

What is the reward of this wayward place

Ridden in hate

I cant walk a mile in anyone else's shoes

I haven't even ran in my own

My heart cant bare the thought

Of stepping outside it's home

Oh yes, it's been broken

And yes, it's done wrong,

but that imperfect heart

that broken, hurt swollen heart is strong.
