How bright would it really be
Without the sun to see
Can you see me for me
Or is that just too easy
If life is worth living
Would it be easy to die
I can’t stand to see you
Without me but I will survive
Are you and I history
Or could we make it blissfully
Do I know all your marks
Could I find you in the dark
Our depth could be unreal
Because our love is such a thrill
I am captivated by your movements
Would you just see me
Could you just notice

For forever in waiting
Or just debating
I will love you till the end
Even if as just friends

In a sense
veins flowing to a foreign beat,

as you help me to my feet.

I don’t know whether to smile or frown,

because you’re the one that put me on the ground.

It was tough to stay for as long as I did,

but now that I have left  I don’t question if I will live.

Love can be strong. and it can be weak.

Sometimes it is deep and meaningful, other times bleak.

I no longer fear what love will hold,

I no longer love, that much is known.

You took what was mine in a sense,

now and forever you will pay the price,

a price so great you wish you could change,

but pure loneliness is your fate.

People searching high and low,
For something that cannot be grasped without knowledge
Love is more than a word
life is more than a story
happiness is found in yourself before others


Stop searching for things and live
Stop thinking everything can be bought and understood
Life is about learning
a new day everyday
take a deep breath and hold on for the ride.

I’ve been up since sunrise,
man, I love what the world looks like in my eyes.
A beauty so captivating and original,
Something I grasp onto and never let go.
If others could see,
you are everything to us.
Something to cherish and protect,
something that should never feel neglect.
One day they will understand,
hopefully soon…

Here I am
sitting in empty space
All I can do is think of you.
periodically looking at the clock,
approaching its fate.

Give or take a little, nothing changes
we will soon know the answer
once we see each others faces.

Our destiny will not wavier.
whichever way things go,
multiple options to choose from
how could anyone know.

The only question that remains
is which way, will we go?

Finding you in a crowded room
Like a beckon and hitting zoom.
Searching pages throughout my mind
Hoping I find the right words and a spine.
Dancing with endless left feet
Will I ever not trip and just leap?
Caught in the past
And never in the moment.
Turning around to face the bricks
A wall so wide I can never get around it.

Like a circle that is never ending
Maybe it is really time time to just step outside it.
Its hard to imagine a change
But I think it needs to happen.
A new beginning
With you not in it.

Starting with a vast an empty page
A new life happens
Not searching for anything.

Screaming while crashing to the floor
Falling down into a black hole
Desperation with self-loathing
Do we really have to do this anyone?

Bruises covered with love
Lies made with promises
Bodies tangled with distraction
Who really feels this?

Drinking to cool nerves
Smoking to pace the heart
Sleeping around to feel whole
Why does nothing really work?

Running around in circles
Chasing the pain away
Searching for peace in darkness
How long will living take?
