Iridescent eyes
Tsunami's crash inside
Is your heart breaking?
Like the sad story playing in those orbs?

Winter cold heart
Your love tore me apart
Like an Earthquake beneath my feet
You sent me falling through the cracks

Love destroyed us
Like a hurricane, it floored us
Stole my breath and left me gasping
It was your hand I was grasping
for

Down at the bottom
That's where I found them
Those whose hearts were broken like mine
And were left to drown, and die

"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."

I can feel the tingle start at the tip of my tongue
I feel the burn in the pit of my stomach
The lightness washing over these heavy limbs
The weightless impossibility
The drunken bliss
A feeling I miss
With each shot I forget your face
Each drink of this liquid pain killer
Takes me a step away from the memories
That haunt me

I'm young in appearance ,
But what I've seen has made me wise,
I don't know all there is to know
But what I have learned is priceless,
I don't need to see the entire world,
To know what I love and cherish the  most,
It's right there infront of me,
Even if it's blocked from my sight,
I can feel it even though it's lost,
It's apart of me,
It always has been

The stars seem to curse me this sorrowful night
They scold my blind sight
For I never foresaw a turn of events
I read the signs but did not know what they meant

The moon seems to share my tears
and this sorrow seems to simmer into slow burning fears
Ones that incinerate my heart
To a pile of ash left spread apart

This pain is one for a muses tale
A cliche among the weak and frail
Ones that break like me
From things that I never see

It hit me like a wave of awful despair
But these tears where hidden from their stares
For my love is my weakness
It is my own kryptonite

Sometimes in being the hero
you become the villain
When you've been overlooked so many times
Your sanity steps out of line

And your heart takes the leap
into darkness

Broken
My friend
Do not pretend
It hasn't happened again
I lie my head here
Just to rest for a while
Realese a shaky breath and a tear
Had been hours since I've manage to smile
Just have to wait, the rain clouds will clear

I felt a shift in overwhelming air
It tingled against my sensitive eyes
I felt the breeze run fingers in my hair
And I felt where the Earths heart really lies

The sun rested its arms against my face
And brushed away the shards blown asunder
Took me in and gave me a humble place
Beneath it's warm wings safe from the thunder

The rain washed away my dry salted tears
Held me in blankets of security
Erased my frothing belligerent fears
In a stronghold of true sincerity

This is the place that I call my real home
It's a place that I have built on my own

Inside your embrace
I feel at home
Looking at your face
I finally stopped feeling alone
I can finally breathe without the pain
I can feel my heart being repaired
I can love you without shame
Knowing you love me back, that we share
Listening to our wild plans as we grow older
To live a life we can only dream
But I told her
That nothing is as hard as it seems
Just pull away the fear
Take a step into the light
Keep close what you hold dear
And never give up the fight
We can be who we want to be
We can live a dream, make it reality
We can overcome the dark that thrashes like an angry sea
Turn simple things into beauty
We just have to try

Broken wings on a butterfly
Struggling to breath
Don't
         Let
                 It
                           Die
Cold stings frozen hands
No snow falls
No
            One
                                        Understands
Soft strum of your guitar strings
The fast flutter of quick fingers
Along
             I
                         Sing
In your arms I'm safe and sound
Just you and me
               No
                            One
                                               Around
Watch the sun drop before our eyes
The stars left hanging there
Lighting
         Up
                       The
                                     Sky
Close your eyes
Before what we have dies
Like a flame
Bending the same
We
                Must  
                               Ignite
                                                         Tonight
Before our wings give out

It took me a minute
It took me a minute to open up my mind
My hand was shaking
Trembling as it hovered
Right over that rusted, squeaking handle
When my fingertips brushed the cool metal it was rough and rugged
The doors paint chipping away
What used to be bright cherry oak
Was now crumbling
But I was not deterred
I ****** in a deep breath
Gripped that cool metal tightly and twisted
There was loud screech as the once sedentary **** broke back into action
As I pushed open the door
It was dusty and burned my eyes and filled my lungs with jmpurities
It was troubling to look past the fog it had created
Old debris and dirt particles danced and twirled in the air as it descended back down to the creaking floor boards
I recall how quiet it was in that room
Lacking windows and furniture
Lacking security and confidence
But I was determined
I slipped on my blue gloves
A snap against skin like a war cry
I was ready to begin
I started by dusting the corners, then the walls
I swept the floor with gusto and will
I envisioned that room spotless
I envisioned windows filing that room with sunlight
I envisioned music playing soft tunes that pulled your body into rhythmic motion
I envisioned that room filled with people that I love
I envisioned us smiling, laughing
Pure moments of humanity shining in and brushing my skin with its warmth
Once the festivities come to end
I envisioned that room bright with the moonlights company
Until morning when sun rises and fills the room once again

I'm so sad
I'm always mad
Mad at the world
Mad at myself
Mad at the pain
And mad at tears
Because I cry a lot
I hate it
Makes me feel weak
I don't like talking about my feelings
I never have
Chasing a picture of a life I'll never have
Chasing a a world beyond my grip
My heart needs saving
But it's out of reach
For anyone ordinary
I love someone, but can they love me back
No ever has
They can claim that they have
Maybe they believe it
But it's not true
If I can't love myself
I can't be loved by you
Always going around
And around
The faster I get
The dizzier I become
Like a high
It blurs out the world
And the darkness stays at the threshold
And I'm safe for the moment
But only for the moment
I'm never truly safe
Never

Flawless was the sky
Stained by blood
A rise in the war fields
A smile among hate

A child born of darkness
But eyes of innocence

Pulled closer to the pain
I was wrapped in my own cocoon
So beaten on the inside
Soul ridden

Twinkling light held above my head
Cry blood

Sticks scrape my skin
Rocks break my bone
Words slice my neck

One scream to echo

No one can feel my pain
I must bare it alone
Carting this weight on my back
I mustn't fall

No wings to beat
No way of escape
I hang my head mournfully

String to bow
My song plays
But my soul
Lost its
Way
Home

Along the trees that sit in a twisted path carved out just for me
The wind blows a big gust of air realesed from lungs that rustle the leaves
The stars overhead gently blanket the tree tops and give a brilliant sight
And then I hear them, their strong howls break out beneath the moonlight
And I smile as I walk the twisted path carved just for me
Looking and observing the blur of thick colored coats I can see
The thunder of their paws slapping the earths bed
It echoes, reverberates inside of my head
Oh my thunderous brothers howl the songs you sing
Howl, please howl and bring that joy to my heart you bring

There within the dark
Glowing eyes
Golden
Staring at me with a predatory hunger
Am I scared?
Oh certainly not
The vicious teeth
Snarling and snipping
Are only a barrier
To the soft heart
That lay beneath the dusty chains
The angry eyes
A reflection of a broken image
Those sharp claws
Threatening to rip through flesh
Remnants of the daggers pierced through a once soft heart
All of it made from scars long in the past
**And some of it freshly torn

I want to get off this train
that drives me to and from my pain
It's a ride that lasts a life time
and you won't get off alive.

I miss the days I didn't fight this way
crying for the days I didn't run away
the days where the sun did shine
and my life was fine.

I'm a drama flick that runs forever
a heart as light as a feather
but my hearts not whats at steak
it's my brain that makes these mistakes.

One minute I feel alright
the next I can't survive the night
I'm holding on by my finger tips
God forbid my grip may slip.

Where I fall right into my grave
and become the broken teen never saved
the young one lost so soon
it's a cry for help of adolescent doom.

No I'm just sick of the black and the white
there's no grey left in sight
no in between for the likes of us
so why not give up?

Why do I even try
when I really rather die
maybe I'm just a *******
and live for the pain I suffer from as I exist.

I am drowning
Underneath this feeling of desperation
I am dying
Inside this broken heart is bleeding
I am crying
These tears falling with the loss
The enormous loss of not knowing
Not knowing that the even the ones closest to you
Will betray you
Berate you
Break you
Let me drown

Tears are streaming down her face
Our trust has been misplaced
In the hands of a human being
A mother can't believe what she is seeing

The same ones who swore to protect and serve
Leave bodies dead, laid out by the curb
And my heart is bleeding as much as their wounds
Our streets are becoming tombs

Our hate is destroying our humanity
And we let pride take away from our dignity
We let stereotypes destroy our humility
It's become a tragedy

I found out something funny about the world today,
when your life is going good
something tends to stain it grey

It seems like when your tears finally dry,
tricks are pulled to break you down
and make you cry

Whether it's a nightmare that brings every hidden scar to the surface,
or the departure of a close friend
it breaks through my inner barriers
so I can't pretend

I watch everyone else's pain
and take it in like my own,
I think misery
has become my new home

And every time I lose faith
in myself
in my family
in the human race

I find it that much harder to pick myself up,
wonder why I even care
so much

I take the good things
and make them bad
I take a happy moment
and twist them sad

I just wish there was a place for peace
where I was alone
Somewhere that actually
felt like a home

A place where it didn't hurt like this
a place where ignorance
truly is bliss.

The door was locked
I knew the key was in the old clock
Twist the key
And push the door open
There was the black beauty
Each footsteps like a note
Lift my fingers to white and black keys
Push away the dust
I sit before her
And let my fingers lead me
Each note takes away the pain
Drains it from my veins
I fall in love with the melody
Filling the room
Filling my soul
Taking my tears
Making me whole
Uncovering me
Letting me show
But I'm not embarrassed
I revel in it
Breath it in
Drink in the light
Let the happiness fill me
To my bones
And come to an end
Breathing heavy
I lean my head against her soft black paint
Then leave
Glancing over my shoulder
Before I shut the door
And lock it

Snowflakes on the ground
Angels in the snowy banks
Trees slouched over , bare

Under the rain we ran and we splashed
Like we were children again
The clouds were dark
And there was no sun
But you shined your brightest then
Your eyes so blue
They capture you
And never let you go
They watched as I took your hand
And placed it near my heart
I knew you could understand
Kiss they said
And my cheeks glowed red
Even though I've kissed you before
Kiss they said
And I turned my head
And began to blush more
It was in the moment
I decided to do it
I pulled you in
And the kiss began
And ****, I wish it didn't end

I've been lifeless lately 
Time rushing past 
I've been slow motion lately 
Can't remember what I did last 
The airs cold against my tears 
I have been running so long 
I have hid from these fears 
It was so wrong 

Burnt bridges all around 
Glass is breaking through the sound 
This pain is taking over me 
Im falling to the ground 
Please take my hand save me 
I've been no good but maybe 
You could change me 
Maybe it's you that I need 

a dove in my window Payne 
They said it was a chance of sun 
But my sky is full of rain 
and I feel like I'm done 
The lights flicker to black 
My head is spinning 
I need to take you back 
All this hurt it's been bringing 
I cried all I could 
And I seen this day coming 
I just wished it never would 
And now I'm lost again 

Burnt bridges all around 
Glass is breaking through the sound 
This pain is taking over me 
I'm falling to the ground 
Please take my hand, save me 
I've been no good but maybe 
You could change me 
Maybe it's you that I need 

And if only you could see 
That this light burns inside me 
I'm shining in the shadows 
Its like it's never mattered 
But I just want to light your way 
Even if that path is out of "our" days 
I just need to know that we 
Were something to keep 
Even if it's not me that you seek
