See how she smiles?
See how she laughs?
It seems I have misjudged,
It seems that I have lost.

His hand touches hers lightly,
she grasps his hand tightly.
It feels like I'm being torn apart
by watching this lovely scene.

They look so in love,
so enthralled with one another.
It seems like the fire I put out,
has been rekindled from spontaneous combustion.

At this point, I just need to let it go,
at this point, I need to let them be.
The fire between her and I
will never fully burn out.

Two Hearts Beat as One

Undeniably magnificent

Open-heart despair

Tougher rhythm dominating bonded purpose

I Fall Down

Can't wait to get to Berlin

Short-sided bravado

Notably lacking comparison

The edge of nihilism

It's New Year's Day,

And Sunday ****** Sunday

Matured maverick solider

Exact achievements contrary to empathetic aspirants

Reunion in October

Temporarily divided by faith

Undeniable spiritual optimism

Victory, complete ardor

Promising and passionate

Rejoice in optimistic reunion

Two hearts beat out of control

Trying to take back what's already been done,
trying to change the past; something that can never be.
Trying to find my better half

Always there for others
No one there for me
Seeing the girl who needed to feel complete,
Breaking out of me now, just begging to be wanted.

Becoming the main source of the pain,
missing the chance to stop living a lie.
Alone in an empty room,
burning all the pictures in their frames

Seeing that girl in the mirror,
hiding the sorrow she knows so well.
Living in the shadow of my mistakes,
running from myself again.

I don't have a reason to stand still,
I'm becoming so unstable.
The girl behind the mask,
starts to show what she carries in her heart

Showing all that she has to offer,
and how fragile she truly is.
Showing how brave she can be,
going out and revealing her skeletons.

Reaching out, but she got away.
Reaching out, but she's starting to fade.
Knowing that I let her die,
knowing I created her lie.

I'm screaming and crying for help.
Lying on the ground, no one comes to my aid.
I'm bleeding from wounds left open.
I'm bruised and black and alone.

Her face is without emotion.
My heart is still beating, but I'm losing feeling
I have no one left within.
I'm growing darker, growing colder.

Not able to get up,
Not able to care anymore.
The girl behind the mask,
now shows her true face.

Look past her
tired eyes and
her plastic smile

Look past her
messy hair and
chipped nail polish

Look past her
teeming strength and
her scarred up arms

And you'll see
someone unwell and
broken inside

And you'll see
everything wrong and
nothing right

And you'll see
a courageous bravado and
a breaking facade

Look past her
everything and
you'll see

Only me.

When you feel alone
Smile
Just for me

When your hurt
just brush it off
and try to laugh

When you miss me
know that
I'm always with you

When you're angry
just close your eyes
and think of us

When you cry
try and smile
Just for me

And even though
my breathing has stopped
and I am merely ashes

And even though
I'm scattered,
one with the earth

Smile.
   Just for me

Captivated simply by

a light

a sound

a movement

a breath


Motivated firmly by

a belief

a goal

a friend

a dream


All the progress
Torn down by


One


Little


Comment


Followed by a razorblade

Hurtled through love,

Dark, robust, romantic

Violent memories

Tearing through a moonless night

Hooting and growling through a treatise

A spiritual rebirth, heaved into heartbreak

Ever revving metaphor

Shake it Out

I am done with my graceless heart,

So tonight I'm gonna cut it out and restart

Melodrama vastly inflated

Turbulent ballads, booming drums

The wind chorales howling melodies

Hopeless romantic separating rapture from disaster

Love is a vast and violent force

Overflow of iconoclastic shamelessness

Leave my Body

Midnight-on-the-moors

Oh my love don't forget me
