I yearn for the day that my voice does not shake while speaking
The day that my hands do not rattle upon my lap
The day that my eyes do not shift away restlessly
The day that my skin does not turn to ice
I crave comfort for my body
But my mind refuses to allow me any peace

Oh sweet temptation,
Do not be a fool,
The pills are paradise,
Payment is cruel,

Oh how I crave you,
All your seduction and sedative,
Take me to heaven's gates,
My failures have been repetitive,
I continue to lay in bed
Regardless of the lack of sleep it brings me
Hoping that someday my body will feel comforted enough to fall into a slumber
As if the bags under my eyes
And the stiffness of my muscles
Weren't enough to let my body know it's time to rest
If only my mind would stop running
Then maybe I could feel tranquil
But the anxiety I experience is sharp
And my thoughts cannot feel peace
Nothing is forever
No one is forever
Although I was hoping that you could have been
I desired for you to be next to me until the end of time
I wanted nothing more than to feel your energy wrapped around mine
To hold your soul as close to me as possible
To cherish your mind and indulge in your adventures
To love and caress every edge and curve of your body
To feel your breath upon my skin
To taste the lust over your lips
Nothing is forever
No one is forever
Although I was hoping that you could have been
From the very moment that you pulled away
My body was turned into a grave
Flowers no longer sprouted in my heart where your words would be
Sunlight could not reach the darkest parts of me
The vines that were once intertwined with my heart
Decided that it was time to break apart
You were the person to bring me life
and you were the one who gave me the knife
