The dark cannot suffocate me ,
As it can you ,
For I have a switch
To turn on the Streetlights ,
And I have eyes to look at the Stars ,
They lead me home where the  dark cannot reach ,

It envelopes me from all around ,
But my pinpricks make all the difference.
They mark a map that only I can see,
Leading me astray from the path chosen for me ,
Instead I am walking towards the unknown,
Lights guiding me.

Dust has covered your eyes
You are now blind to the pain that surrounds you
The swift hiss of a bottle cap
Forget your miseries
Give them to me
I'll watch them grow
Everyday is tomorrow
Give me your sorrow .
I'll take your joys.

I am the secret that you love to forget
The dark need inside of you that tears you apart
I am your life
I am your death
The darkest shadow tainting your heart
Hold my hand to hate me
Insult me to love me
This is us.

Cherish me like a diamond ,
Chiseled delicately for love ,
Do not hope for a future for us
Just know it will come ,
Hold me forever ,
I promise not to let go.
When we kiss I break
In the most amazing way
Our lips part and I am whole again.

You are the not the prince I dreamed of  :
I love you now as I love you in hate,
Holding you close ,pushing away , pulling closer,
Grasping with white knuckles.

I love your annoying habits
Though they irritate me so ,
You could not be without them .

This is love and it is real ,
It frightens me at best.
This is not a fairytale
I do not expect a happy ending,

Though if I was to have one
It could only be with you.
You are not the prince I dreamed of ,
You are more.

To teenage dreams of love and wealth
To living life
Instead of breathing death

We are here for today,
Though too foolish to believe
That there is not always tomorrow,

You call us niave
For hoping for more
for caring
And walking into the world daring
it to take us down

We are young
We never belong
We hope
With  heads full of dreams
And  hearts full of promises

We were kings you and I,
We fought our battles  ,
Won few and lost many
All together  .

We grew stronger with each defeat ,
Making mistakes but not regrets ,
Sharing ghosts and skeletons
We were so haunted.

Alas .. Time and coincidence turned into enemies
Turning us against each other .
The thin line was crossed ,
Love became hate
as so often it does .


It has been a long time since our youth ,
Since we last were together happily ,
Do not misunderstand ,
For I do not miss you ,
It is the ability to look back on our memories
Without remorse  that i miss .
