God has his own plan,
For the ones we love,
Seldom do we understand,
The reasons from above.

The thought alone shocks us,
Wishing it not to be true,
Making our worlds stop,
How life can be cruel.

We all began to weep,
At the disbelief,
That you were truly gone,
Unable to fight the grief.

With emotions flooding us,
We try to accept that this is real,
Removing the hazy fog,
Trying to get through this ordeal.

Even for a moment longer,
We grasp to hold on,
Never wanting to let go,
But you’ve already moved on.

The knot in our hearts,
Will never fade away,
Missed but never forgotten,
With us you’ll always stay.

Engraved on our torn hearts,
Is our grief pouring out in song,
Over you precious memory,
Let our faith keep us strong.

Remember the love we feel,
All the memories we keep,
We’ll never let them fade away,
As you lay in eternal sleep.

The rush of intoxication
With it's secret demise
Drawing you in closer
If only you were wise.

The promise of satisfaction
Erasing what eats you alive
Going to new lows each time
As into another life you dive.

An overwhelming desire
To ease the discomfort
You don't see the consequences
Naive to all the hurt.

You fall on misfortune
Having sealed your fate
Deepening your desire
Becoming that which you hate.

Slowly you become a shell
Of the person you once were
You can lose yourself
Into darkness she will lure.

Cringing from the pain
On both body and mind
Trying to tame her
Too wicked to find.

Begging to depart
You fight to break away
In moment of clarity you realize
The cravings will stay.

Crash into my room
Slam the door
The picture of you falls
Cracks on the floor...

I ****** it up
And clutch it tight
Not seeing the shreds slicing
As tears blurr my sight...

All the broken glass
Soon will meet my broken heart
As my tears flow clear and crimson
I'm glad to see the ends start...

Your face soaked in my tears
As my soul drains
Nothing left to keep me here
All there is, is pain...

They will find me here with you
A smile left on my face
For all my pain will subside
And only my body will be in that place.

split in two
but must be one
the poison seeps inside
both sides are affected.
half of the heart, damaged severely
maybe behond return
but she was able to salvage
so a part of it
is poisoned no more.
she held on
taught what love is
the past, is past...
to live life to the fullest.
even without a piece
that once made you complete
live life as to what you can
and sacrifice nothing.
yet as it is with half a heart
every beat in agony
but even though it only slowly changes
she sits by my side patiently.

but even with its many holes
and cuts from all the pain
the heart is always hers to hold
this love will never change.

she wears a smile
cover up the pain
this time her triumph
is anothers gain...
although i love you
it doesn't change the fact
you walk away
wedding dress intact...
face in your pillow
don't shed your precious tears
your love for someone
will cover up your fear...
lay down my darling
hide that face of yours
internal pain
is not what leads to scars...
you don't know it
but i am in your arms
looking into your eyes
and capturing your charm...
that girl is me
loving who you are
wishing she wasn't
watching from afar.

combine my pains once numbed
dig up what were healing wounds
break open my scars
make this guilt consume.

cringe at the thought
it thunders through me
making me want
what can destroy me.

i am the canvas
make me what you like
satisfy your desires
as you forget mine.

control my every move
im not an individual
molded to your every need
but soon to be scolded.

my human nature to disobey
as i rebel one last
no matter what i once said
there's still something besides the past.

step out
from the scorche
feel the moment
see its beat.
blue like ice
covering.
thick as glue
streaming.
all in slow
barely movement
fading away
leaving brightness
embracing dark.
