Well I'm back with stuff to say
So I hope if you're reading you will stay
I've got heartbreak and many a lesson
With my words I won't be messin'
Around with them, not a single word
I won't stop even if left unheard
Even if the paper begins to light
I'll continue to write
Because this is a witness to my fight
Thats always on my mind
Peace was long gone, but it's what I find
That makes me just say I'm fine
I'll set myself on rewind
And scribe all of my pain
Because, ****, I'm sick of the rain

Write like you learned something new
Write like you've learned who
Inside you that has the answer
No it's not in him or her
Use your words to find light
Not to lay waste to a effortless fight
Use your words, black ink on white
To learn about others and yourself and take flight
Don't let your own words become your enemy
Because then your heart looks at you
Saying to stop hurting you and me
Your writing should express and relive, not stress and repress.

How can thoughts be real
They're not solid enough to touch
So how can someone manifest
A feeling such as love?
Can you
Hold it
Breathe it
Squeeze it in your hands
It's forcing us to trust
In the invisible
Once again

Because although you can't see it
  It can still disappear
Love is the sad song
That left you crying in your beer

Blind sided
It can hit you
And you best believe it's true
Love is as real
As the way I feel for you

larissa
you're there
holding, with gentle hands
breathing, with a soft pace
kissing, with tender lips
listening, with kind ears
speaking, all these perfect words
but i’m still scared to love you

Let's just consider this farewell
For a time while our demons find a place to dwell
We're gonna need a lot of time as I can tell
But don't weep and cry be happy and swell
Let the pain come and go
But don't let it cloud what you know
For now it's time to walk a separate path
Time to go, to soak in a quiet bath
