My mind is on overdrive,
Currently working overtime,
I'm overthinking and its slowly killing me.
my mind never stops,
a whirlwind of emotions rage inside me
wave after wave
the slam into me without notice
I’m speechless

my mind never stills,
unwanted thoughts consume me
sparks ignite new ideas
overthinking everything
I’m on overdrive

my mind never quietens,
songs blast constantly
reverberating, resounding within me
countless stories and jokes and memories
I’m tired

my mind won’t relax
and I’m trying
but I’m tired
I am a fortress
I am strong and capable and determined
I will defend the ones I love until my very last breath

I am a fortress
I stand tall and proud and confident
I will protect and preserve until my very last breath

I am a fortress,
So then why can I block the positivity
but let the negativity flood in?

I am a fortress,
So then why can I brush off the compliments
but be struck by criticism?

I am a fortress,
So then why can I shield myself from happiness
but be exposed to pain and sorrow?

I am a fortress
I will always protect you
But can I ever save me from myself?
This is war and we must fight,
Tonight may be our last together,
We don’t know what tomorrow holds,
But I know that I’ll love you forever.

Take me into your loving arms,
Engulf me in your warm embrace,
Hold me close and kiss me goodbye,
Know that I’d follow you till the end of time and space.

Either set it free
Or watch bleed

Not every story has happy ending
But it's better then know that it was a pretending

Either turn to a chapter
Or watch it capture

Must of thought that I had you
As time flew
I knew
There was never something
In between you and I

I've come to realize that it was all in my head
Maybe I should be dead

Cuz the thought of having is impossible
Yet, impossible
But get's unstoppable
When you are in my brain

I keep on trying to maintain
The pain

But thought of you seems
Flowing and growing

So, I just go around
Searching
******* this silence is burning

But there is no trace just the memories
That won't fade
Cuz when you feel the aches
There ain't

No, median to heal
What you feel

The thought
Of dropping off
My emotions
To the ocean
Ain't gonna work
Cuz it's like a curse
That you gotta learn how to heal it first

But for me ain't working
So, my I should get going busy
Cuz it makes it easy
But doesn't cuz it's all the thoughts
That keep plotting

Romantic love stories
Sentimental past memories
Haven't forgotten the first glimpse of your face
Stunningly beautiful guy with class and grace
Like an guardian that just  had arrived at my work place
I felt my heart beating at a faster pace
Not one who believed in love at first sight but, your whole demeanour made if feel right
I can still recall all those girls asking for a date you always declined, no reason you would state
Sundays became a day of dulcet tunes of harmony the only day we worked  a beautiful symphony
How I wanted to fill your world with romantic notions reluctantly,
I was too shy to admit my true emotions
I thought enough is enough
One evening, while walking home together summers day in June with pleasant weather finally, built up the courage to explain how I felt with a smile you told me,
I make your heart melt two years later you are my faithful boy still the only one who has my heart in this life
