When I couldn't be found
You found me
When I frowned
You were the only one who could see

You broke down my walls
You burned my past
You heard my desperate calls
And for my hand you asked

What is your fascination
I'm no vacation
I'll cause chaos
And a little self-deprivation

What's inside of me
Let's run this town
Why in my do you believe
I'm destined to drown

You'll see my flaws
You'll want to leave
Don't put this love on pause
But why did you choose me?

Why is it this way
You are so far away
Way more than just a day

You said you would come home
Why aren't you here
I'm hitting the dark to roam

You said those words to me
You made me a promise
But you're across the sea
You're not home with us

You never really call
I wish you were home
I just want one call

I'm sorry that I cry
I just miss you so much
Please come home, please try

She is so strong
Not afraid to admit
When she does wrong
She will not throw a fit

She is tough
But oh so sweet
Happiness she will bluff
But never will she admit defeat

She stands so very tall
You won't see her fall

She won't let you see her tears
She has up a guard
She won't shoe you her fears

Even when she can't take anymore
She will stand above that floor

She can find the light
In the sadness of the day
She won't give into the night
She ignores the grey

She stands above the rest
She won't frown
She is blessed
She won't breakdown

The pain doesn't cease
The blood won't stop pouring
In my palm, a permanent crease
From the blade that I carry

I don't trust myself
Neither should you
I'll turn my back
I'll turn away from you

No bandage can cover
No pill can hold
You'd like to be my lover
But I don't think you can handle

You want me to share
My entire life story
But there should be a rating
Because it's kind of gory

I'll try to open my heart
But I can't make and promises
This time I'll be smart
Because my wounds are so deep

You

You
Every night I think of you.
Sit there holding my pillow tight.
Wishing I was with you,
All the way through the night.

You're always in my mind.
Don't think you've ever left it.
You know love isn't so blind.
I can see right through it.

My mind is all a mess.
My thoughts are all of you,
This and that I must confess,
I'm so in love with you.

Sometimes at night I cry out for you,
But you're never there.
I always want to be with you,
It's just not fair.

I love you always and forever.
My love will always grow.
I shall leave you never,
That you need to know.

What if I showed you
Could you even process
The truth you would chew
My life you would try to bless

I would show you in privacy
You would scream it to the population
My tears I will choke silently
While I stand in humiliation

Why am I different
You couldn't handle the truth
You are just ignorant
My life you don't need to sleuth

I do what I want
I live my own life
Why do you taunt
I'm holding a knife

Why did you fight
My sadness grew
I'm leaving tonight
I'm too much for you

I lose myself in that blue
Every time it takes my breath away
I'll never lose any interest
I can look at them all day
They are my special place
They bring you lots of charm
Talking for you when you're silent
With those you cannot harm
Instead you steal peoples attention
I wish I had that power
I wish that I knew
My attention you devour
With just one look at me
You send my heart into a race
Whenever I need a thrill
I just look at your face
It's so hard to look away
It's so easy to look in
I can't help but stare
This should be a sin
I can't tear my eyes away
Through them I see so much light
You have so much soul
This is an amazing sight
