I think the scariest part about loving someone
Is not knowing if they will stay, or be lost
And knowing either must happen
Not knowing the cost

Knowing that they will move on, happily, without you
Knowing they will love another, more than you
Knowing they will be scared of losing or keeping someone
That someone being other than you

I thought love was what I feared
What sent chills down my spine
But really its knowledge
The sweet ******* that is unfortunately, untimely and
Mine

You know, it isnt easy
Working young
Feeding a family of 3
Only 18
Only 7.25

You know, it's hard
Working 2 jobs
Never seeing that family of 3
1 Brother
1 Mom

You know, it's life
Working until you die
Until your family is 0
100 hopes
100 dreams

"Just a little further"
Pushes the little bird
A rock on a single feather
"I will help you, its my word"

He pushes and pushes
Day and night
Through winter, spring and summer
Until the leaves take flight

Sigh Goes the little bird
"You are stuck and I try and try
I will never give up
Not until you die"

The little bird calls on his friends
They all say "No use"
The little bird is too scared to see
The little dead truth

I am a moth
You are the light
You attract me
To you I fly

I reach you
You are so bright
I burn
To you I cry

I seek others
You won't fight
Your light dims
To you

Goodbye
An experience I go through more often than not.

Hypocrisy
Not anonymously
I know you are aware of the expectancy
To change
You complain
Get off of me
Me? oh I try to be
But you are a part of me
Me? who I?
I started to be
Until the game changed
What you started
You see
You? Yes you
Who else would I talk to?
Me, who am I?
I am you
You are me
We went from we
To
w      e
to
me
Just me

I want to go where I free
Where I can sing
Where it is only me
Where there's no caring

I want to go where I can ride
The road never ending
Neither the sky
Endless clouds, Day and night

I want to go where I can feel the soft breeze
As it paints a picture better than reality

I want to laugh, cry, smile and breathe
I want to go to that place without worry

I want to go to that place, where you will be

A smile
A message
A call
I try

You frown
You read
You ignore
I cry

I leave
You beg
I return
Why?
