Your eyes fall so naturally over the body of every girl that walks by,
And they avoid me like I am diseased meat.
Men are wolves and when tamed, they're dogs.
But dogs still eat meat,
And she is quiet the piece.

I find it both silly and enlightening,
That you believe my style is the equivalence of my being.

I was created as fire
You were made of wood
I loved you and to me you were every spark inside of me
You loved me and jumped into the pit I promised to fill with my admiration
But every little word I said ignited and burned you piece by piece
You are kindling for the destruction I can not control
I wish so much I could be water or air
Something that fills you
Something that carries you
But no one can be loved by a fire..
Because I was made to burn everything I loved
And I feel nothing but sadness as I wait for our Phoenix to rise from ashes
Because I want to believe that maybe you'll become fire too or I'll become wood so that neither of us has to get hurt

Maybe I am destined to live a life I don't want
Maybe I was created to end it all for myself.
These suicidal thoughts can't be for nothing
I'm beginning to think maybe I deserve the demons in my head
And just maybe I was destined to let them win

I'm both scared and relieved to know when I visit your grave your soul is no longer there
It has gone away and you left us here alone

You are a river in a hopeless isolated desert,
You are the light rising and filling the dark corners of my locked room,
To be with you is to feel, to be bright and happy
To be with you is to connect and grow.
But like a rubber band I am only able to stretch so far before I break and snap against your fragile skin and cause you pain that was not intended.
I do not want to hurt you so I ask you to step away,
I avoid telling you the painful truths that open my locked room because to let the light in is hard when you've lived in the dark for so long.
To let a river flow through this desert would be to taint it with an inescapable darkness that drags down all those in sight,
And yet I want to scuba dive and explore the deepest caves within your mind,
and understand the rare fish that swim in the reef of your personality,
You ask me to speak,
You tell me you're here,
And it is this I know,
but it is this I fear
