I see you
No you do not
Yes I do, I have always seen you
No you have not
I see everything about that you chose not to see
Everything that I chose not to see…
Yes, I see the beauty
I see the pain
I see the love
I see the scars
And all of those things are good reasons to not see them at all,
For they are ugly
They are cruel
They taunt the person that you thought you used to be
And that my dear is the reason why I see them…

you rise from the ashes
the tumultuous sea
a new bird, born again
like a summer's breeze

I met a friend
Who handed me a pen
And told me, "write"
To write about what gave me life,
That spark of unwavering light

I met a friend
Who handed me a piece of paper
And told me, "create"
To create things
That'll make your bones shake

I met a friend
Who gave me the best advice
He said to be true to myself
And everything will be all right

It 4:19 and I should be sleeping
     But here I am, sitting up. Thinking
It's 4:20,
     and yet I am still drinking
It's 4:21,
      I miss the smell of your clothes
It's 4:22,
       Where did you go when I needed you most?
It's 4:23,
       Why did you leave me all alone
It's 4:24,
        The time is moving slowly, it makes everything that much more lonely
It's 4:25,
        And I have nothing else to say
It's 4:26,
        I don't even want to know why you walked away.
It's 4:27,
        Goodnight sweet friend

Do you ever think of us?
Or are we a lost cause
That I'm still fighting for?
