Imagine the fear and worry
If tonight is your last sleep
Perhaps you'll draw your last gasped breath
Before the sun steeps past your curtains
Comfortable ideas, the thought of long life
But that's not always the case
Lady Death holds no prejudices
To age, gender, or race
Imagine your next birthday
And you're not alive to celebrate
See tears fill lover's eyes
Because you passed last night
Sleep well this moon
Have happy dreams
And go peacefully in your rest

Should I write a love story?
Or a story that love should be?
Rather, tell me your story.

There is a prince; a knight
in bright shining armor.
He loves a princess - a ******;
a woman, yet still so naive.

What is a love story without a villain?

There is a dragon!
He steals the princess!
What does a dragon want with a princess?
No matter,
for the prince will save her!
And she will give him all of her love everlasting.

Such a love story this is!

Don't we all just wish
we could exist in the mind of a kind writer
who would design a story
with a simple beginning
a simple middle
and end simply

Time for an adventure
Would you join me?
Pick up your life and follow me to the corners of the earth

Past the sea monsters
Through the storm
Just trust me and hold my hand, I promise

We've made it this far
So keep holding on
Past rushing waves and rocking ships
We'll scream at the gray clouds
Dance in the deadly rain
Let's conquer the seasons together

Watch lives fall around
Death sits at our feet
With ripped sails and broken masts

Put your heart in my care
I'll hold tightly
Just trust me and hold my hand, I promise

We've made it this far
So keep holding on
Past rushing waves and rocking ships
We'll scream at the gray clouds
Dance in the deadly rain
Let's conquer the seasons together

Time for an adventure
The search for gold
Let's conquer the seasons together

I can't believe, just won't believe
That you tore apart her wings
Colours vibrant, always cheery
Full of life, full of love
Always willing, never running

Grace was her name, it was her way
Her life, her rules, her tone
Now without luster
She is called worm
Never to fly again

How can you enjoy the butterfly
If you won't let her spread her wing?
How dare you take them for yourself
And leave her alone to die

A lover can be used up
And tossed aside so quickly
But a love is hard to find
Hard to keep
So hold on when you can

Obsession is not attractive
And cruelty wins you no games
Steal the colours from those around
But your world is forever gray
And you'll be forever in the dark

A tap on my shoulder
The world at my back
A sick grin on its face

It wants me to cry

I've tried to stay strong
And be the girl I can be
But it's gotten so hard

I've begun to suffocate
And no matter how hard
I can't seem to catch my breath

I just want fresh air

I want the fog to lift
And all to be well
A path set out before me

"You can save the world!" they tell me
"You're so smart" they gush
Is it really so true?

The pain and the fear
It's dragging me down
I don't want to be wrong

Maybe I just don't quite know

If I fall
If I fail
Will someone be there to pick me back up?
Stream of consciousness

What is forever
But a promise never kept?
Everything has to die
All things must close their eyes
Shut their world
Say goodnight
I may not believe in forever
But I believe in you
Please hold me close when forever ends

I'm lost
And I think I may need help
But no matter how I reach
No one is there

I'm falling down a pit
I'm grabbing at the walls
Looking for something to hold

With a moment of luck
And reflexes quickened by fear
I find the root of a tree
And cling for dear life

Seconds turn to minutes
And minutes tick on
My grip is not strong

I can't scream, I can't see
All I hear is my breathing
My slow, deep breaths
And I let go

Fear is so the living
And soon I'll be dead
Gone in a ****

I know it will hurt
But that's not what scares me
Is there a Heaven and Hell?
Or are Atheists right?

I've tasted life and consciousness
And I loved it too much to see it go
