i'm forgetful when you're around
maybe when you're away too
i don't know
i cant remember

i have a bad habit of staring into the sun.
back then, i could blame my innocence,
maybe ignorance, but
what's my excuse now?

the past still haunts me
it's living in my mind
&when I think ive healed
my wounds are cut back open.
as im about to bleed out
you bandage my heart
temporarily.

Noting changes.
Nothing grows.

Empty highs.
Empty lows.

I can't feel the warm,
And I can't feel the cold.

You try to make me happy,
And I try just for you.
But other than our trying,
Nothing else is new.

I worry I'll upset you,
If I can't make a change.
It's not fair of me,
To make you stay the same.
Don't let me drag you down with me.

as I lay here, dying in your arms,
terrifying thoughts of the afterlife flood my mind.
it seems the devil has his chains around my ankles
slowly dragging me into a deep abyss of perpetual darkness.
my soul is now ascending out of my body
as it is left to rot in a world full of corruption.
you're my last glimpse of life,
i can still feel you pulling me closer.
your last kiss, so passionate,
your last touch, so spiritual.
i lay here, motionless, paralyzed in time,
dying in your arms, so beautifully.

everything i've ever felt will all mean nothing as i lie in my bed, and let it all bleed out. the dark red stains on my grey bedsheets are left to remind those of whom i loved,
that their love wasn't enough,
to save me from myself.

last night,
I saw the stars in your eyes,
& the only difference between you & them,
is that they were long dead,
but you,
have got a soul that will never die,
as long as you preside by me.

I saw a shooting star,
& I wished,
I hoped,
that this night would never end,
and by some kind of miracle,
this love would last too.

but 'twas a mere fantasy,
as the night,
ended,
but as wishes do not come true,
miracles,
do.
