Him

Him
His hands fit mine
As though they were made to
His heart pounds rhythmically
Making it my favorite song

His voice is a calming melody
Opening my eyes to see
Everything that we could be

His laughter heals me
As though he is medicine
His aching kills me
Bringing me to my knees

His words are a smooth chatter
Saving me right after
It seems my world has shattered

His feet I trust to guide me
When my eyes can't see
His arms always heat me
While everyone else is freezing

His eyes go wandering
Over my hands he is holding
Showing he'll always be loving

It's the dark thoughts you have before you go to bed
It's the silent tears you suppress every time you hear their name
It's the laughter that is only there to cover up the intense dread
It's the disappointment of looking at yourself in the mirror
It's the fake smile you practice wearing for hours in the morning
It's the lonely lunches because you don't have the courage to say hi
It's the irritating happy songs that always seem like lies
It's the disease the doctors claim to know how to fix
It's the endless emotions you deny to your family
It's the broken whispers to yourself because no one else is there
It's the haunted nightmares that replace rest and steal your sleep
It's the cries for help that everyone around you chooses to ignore

I'm drowning in the pain
Floating on the flames

In love with yesterday
Making friends with the stains

Let the heat rise up
My soul is on fire

I'll ignite on the inside
I'm in love with the burn
It's a Beautiful Kind of Pain

I'll get drunk on your love
I'll drink all your pain

When you're unhappy
I'll take it away
When you feel lonely
I'll be by your side

I adore you, My Love
I need you, My Love
I am here for you, My Love

No, I don't still love
No, I don't miss you
No, I don't regret the things I said

When I said it I meant it
When it happened, it was final
When I walk away, I'm not coming back

I'm glad you can't read my mind
I'm happy you can't see through me
Because if you could
You might just be through with me

Infinity
That's all I ask
That's all I want

Infinity
Of your voice
Of your touch

Infinity
To go mad with you
To go crazy over you

Infinity
Of calling you mine
Of being on your mind

Infinity
Is that too much to ask?
I knew you once
I know you now
But it’s just not the same
I’m not sure why
I’m not sure how
Or if I am to blame

We were once held
By friendship’s cord
Nothing could separate
Our days were filled
With laughs and dreams
But now we hesitate

Where once we smiled
Across the room
When our eyes met at glance
We now pretend
We do not see
As if it were a chance

Why, my old friend
Do we go on
As if we never were
What caused the drift
Of lives like ours
Is it my fault or yours
If it's a sin
to keep things interesting,
let's misbehave.

i miss the nights when i would feel nothing, see nothing
the nights when i wandered to another astral in the midst of my deep slumber
when i discovered what it is like to be in a realm of dreams, to be devoured by the lucidity of nightmares.

now that is all set and done i have finally grown up
an entity managed to lift the veils of sands that shielded my eyelids
i've lost my yawn, my drowsy eyes
sleep has transcended itself from being an effortless routine to an ardous task
clouds of thoughts lingered in my mind attacking me
a myriad of irrelevant voices resonates in my ear
i am distracted by pathetic regrets
an hour quickly turns into a whole night of arguments with the inner being that dwells inside of me

so i am left with no choice but to fight them
every war leaves casualties
and it seems that my soldiers ought to be treated with large prescription of sleeping pills
