Smile.
I miss always being behind one,
But I'm too tempermental by the things you say to me,
There's always another happiness to **** time,
And I'm convinced you can't bite your tongue,
But you just as easily bit mine.

Lay down, think of silly things, and feel seventeen,
Stop moving and don't breathe, it's so serene,
For all we know we were built to last,
But I'm the only one to acknowledge that,
I wouldn't hurt so often if I didn't mean it,
But those words are as tender as the scars on your wrists.

Unpredictable.
You ask, "Will my car drive today?"
My reply, "I don't know. Will my heart die today?"
Rejection

After holding a conversation like you hold your liquor,
I realize that I am nothing,
Just an empty silhouette that stands before you,
I write this for my own self-fulfillment,
Break my bones and I will feel the same,
These days I feel like something on a string,
The way you parade me around and call me every name but my own,
I've got a lot of nothing, if I ever had anything.

I either want to love you or die. No in-between.

You constantly fight off these words,
Like it's something on,
Your beauty is as deep as your cuts,
If unmarked it couldn't prove more,
Nothing could duplicate the necessities that pull me to you,
Still, sprint, drag: My actions are clear,
I Move,

Tomorrow starts the same but I count the days,
I'll litter my memory so I don't have to miss you,
Please define what I can't seem to find,
And let anxiety wade and absences fade,
Bear me with your threats so I can feel,
But omit my pain like you omit your happiness,
I Trust,

Maybe I'll sink into you as lovers often do,
And re-create your thoughts if you are so bold,
It could only mean the future that I want, so bold,
If emotions contradict, then it won't unfold,
My lonliness argues as you speak the truth,
No need for conviction and desperation,
I Create.
Keep what you have built up.

Your smile sparks a fire,
If only I was so lucky,
To let fate pick me up,
And set me down to you,

The only embrace I need,
Are those wandering baby blues,
Though more often they may cry,
I will love you until they dry,
And frequently they are oceans,
But I will swim to your heart,

Never empty is your touch,
Full of fidelity and passion,
So sweet by the taste of your tongue,
I never wonder of my ignorance to love,

With those same lips that let you sing,
And these same lips that let me grin,
As one our lips create sin,
Never to reminisce on who we've been,
But who we are,
Together.
Everything I miss about her.

I'll sort out the regrets of tomorrow,
And look forward to yesterday,
Heart-felts are expected but,
They do nothing for my heart, I felt,
For now I want this dying to stop,
But I won't speak until it starts,
I thought my heart was only theft,
The way you stole mine for joy and used me for less,
Now to rescue a time so divine,
But it moved me like a statue,
Forever to look forward to my next,
For never to look beyond my best.
How it feels to be abandoned.

I'd fall for your shadow if it's all I had...
