Sometimes I get sad
and go to a dark place

It's rough there
it's dark there

My saddness in uncontrollable
I don't know where it's from

I'm crying for someone's help
begging to get out

I once beleived that God
could get me through

But I feel to far away
where he can't see me

The light is not around
so bury me in the ground

I want out of this hell
God, help me

I will bleed
until I die

Cut into the skin
that isn't mine

The truth is
I'll never escape

The truth is
I'll never be saved

I've done too much wrong
and I don't belong

Heaven's a beautiful place
I can see it

When I close my eyes
I float off

It's a place with good
there is no fear or pain

But when I awake
reality sets in

I'm dead now
there's no life left

I've got to accept that
get comfortable

My life is not mine
but I have control

I've made too many mistakes
and I won't be saved.

A piece of me dies
every time
I see you.

But you're happy,
and that smile
on your face
has never seemed
so pure.

So if this is
what's best
for you,
then I'll continue
to
pretend.
While you waited for the future you forgot about today
And the sand kept on pouring.
And time slipped away.

Hell, I loved the sly smile
That emerged from his eyes
Then slowly spread across his face
Til it was perfectly wide.
I loved how it showed in his grin
When he would laugh at my awkwardness
Like we were both children again.
I admired the seriousness
That would spawn from within him
When I begged him to stay with me.
I cherished the moments
When he would accept my heartfelt invitation
And just hold me quietly to his firm chest.

Thoughts like that
Are the kind that will remain
Encapsulated in my mind forever.

I haven't seen you in awhile my dear
And now there's something I've come to fear
That I don't remember the smell of your hair
But at least I'd recognize that smile anywhere
And I might not remember the taste of your lips
But I still want my arms around your hips
But your laugh, now that is unforgettable
And every moment we're together, is un-regrettable
Oh I miss you with every fibre of my being
And I'm jealous of those friends, whom you keep on seeing.

Will you let feelings
Take away the bad problems
And forget the past?

You're so far away
But that's what adventures do
Force you to miss him

Everyone has the right to love
To be loved, and return that love
But, love can sleight and bite
It can destroy and toy
with affections.
Love can be seen as a parasite
squirming and worming
inside your heart.
Yet love has lied, and died
a thousand times before
no one closes the door on love.
Love excites ignites and
copyrights by candlelight
it's insidious need to feed.
It expedites appetites
It recites to you words wanted,
needed to be heard
Love leaves you flushed,contrite,
full of spite
Yet ready to ignite and incite
the next entwined pair of parasites.
