I want to put you in front of a mirror
And watch you watch yourself
But if you asked me to take your place,
I'd refuse.
I've got too many flaws; most you've no idea of.
And if you put me under that light,
you'd turn away.
Disgusting.
You think you know me, but I don't even know me.
Every single day
I find another flaw in that mirror.
Some are non erasable.
Others are changeable.
I'm terrified one day I'll step in front of that mirror
and fall to the ground.
I never cease to surprise myself,
But an even greater fear-
surprising you.

These "fun years" are wearing off like bright pink nail polish,
and this routine is like eating the same bowl of cereal every day.
These days aren't living up to their expectations.
so,
maybe,
  possibly,
    perhaps,
                                 it gets better than this?

harder...
    more fulfilling
challenging
   yet,
more enjoyable?

I wanna get settled, settled, settled.

Stick me into the wet soil somewhere,
just as long as I grow to my fullest potential
and I get picked and end up adding color to someone's kitchen.

This vicious smoke,
Filtering through her nose
Like the empty words that leaked
While taking off her clothes.
This never seemed so complex,
I hope she never knows
How messed up my head is
Or these actions composed.
To make you fall in love
And believe me to the end.
There's no way of knowing
On these thoughts we depend.
Your half-smile; a plea for cry
Ignore it just for tonight,
Then catch the attention of a passerby
To let them figure it out.

The rain finally hit the glass,
and I swore to God I wouldn't be the one to come in last.
I'm the only one who will have my back,
but I'm okay with that.

I'm less ignorant than you think,
and don't hesitate to think I'd be gone in a blink
if I were to ever catch onto this.

I ponder things you don't,
I closely examine the words you spoke
and replay them in my head,
then hit myself in the face for being misled.

Fear controls our minds sometimes
And comfort is often hard to find,
But I swear you'll find it in me.

My own shadows scare me to stone,
But I swear to God if I end up alone
I'll never live this life down.

Choices are made by thoughts we consume
Blur it out,
Bur it out,
When fear overtakes, it promises doom
Rise above,
Rise above,
Cancel out fear through each other right now,
We've got nothing to worry
Slow down, don't hurry
And we'll be able to sleep tonight with our eyes closed somehow.

Examine what makes us weak in the dark
Slowly ignite it by a match and a spark.
Embrace all the jumps that startle your veins,
Then acknowledge the feelings and the thoughts that you've gained.

Don't be a rookie in the place that we are
Keep your feet on the ground and your eyes on a star.
Don't get lost,
Don't give in,
Find strength in the night,
Because ultimately fear's gonna put up a fight.

you should really see yourself
In the way that I see you.
I'd give up an entire day
To lend you the lenses in which I see through.

Black and white, yet amplified in color.
My god,
This tastes so sweet.. 
What we're finding in each other.

The tone in your words are assuring
And there's a fire ignited in my heart that's slowly burning.
But I'm not letting you put it out.

Let's embrace precious time together
Talk is cheap, but this is a steal.
Hold me close and call me ''feather''
And try to convince me that this is real.

tiny bits
of you
embedded
in me.

tiny bits**
of me
embedded
in you.

fused together
by a spark
that's wearing out.

Eye converstation
pulls me out of frusteration.
Don't know where I've landed,
but frankly,
I don't care.

And he's taking me back,
God,
He's taking me back.
And honestly,
I'm a little scared.

We've started talking in code
Caught on so **** fast
Words don't even matter
and neither does our past.

His actions speak louder than his words ever will,
no doubt in the fact I want to swallow him like a pill,
because I'm sure I could trip on him forever.

Could I please trip on you forever?

We've come from different places
With bruises on our backs,
And found comfort in the places
Of all the things we lack.
We're okay with how we're feeling,
No we're not turning back.
Because all your imperfections
I secretly wish I had.
You're a rare flower in the forest
I found one perfect day,
And I'm not showing anyone
Because I'm scared to death you'll stray.
Your interests are an art to me.
We tend to share the same.
But I never wanna change your mind,
This is most definitely not a game.
I hope that you instill in me
The things I love in you.
Bless you for being honest..
So genuine,
So kind.
Feel free to share all your thoughts,
Because I honestly don't mind.
Your voice will never grow weary,
And your touch will never come rough.
Just stay near, my dear 
And we'll tackle it head on when it gets rough.
And if our minds change
On some strange winter day,
Have faith that we'll find happiness
Because we both deserve to be okay.

The formation of the stars collapsed this time
I'm dragging my feet along a road I've never seen before.
I've never, in my life, been this scared.
They do me no good out here - those memories I've stored
They only bring tears
And never fail to force me to regret

I'm an ignorant being with no sense of direction
There's a few people I wish I hadn't met

Oh, those stars... they used to guide me home.
It's lonely out here when it's only me
Oh, those stars, they kept me company
Left me to rest assured each night
They lie beside me to tell me it would be all right

Now there's not a single soul to tell me it will be okay
But with another day, comes a chance for another star.
