each and everyday
you prove to me that you're evolving
into someone who's trying
their very hardest to make it through
when all you really have is you

you're proving that you are no longer
an addiction to needles
pumped with a high waiting to make you low
you're proving that you're more
than IV cords, hospital beds and wasting away

you're becoming what i always knew you were

one day
ten years from now
we'll look up at the stars
and smile with each gust of wind
that sings softly in our ears.
then we'll know
that it's all
going to
be okay.

i have a feeling
that miles and miles away
our hearts are stilling holding hands
and crying from the strain
but you're still holding me
and thats all that matters

we're back on a nine to five
of forcing a smile
and choking back tears
to make it through without you
but i guess i always knew
that it'd break my heart
having to be with someone
that melts the same way i do

compare me to a starry-eyed poet
that wrote little wisdoms and gentle sorrows
who was too passionate for her own good
tormented by mental malignancy
the cancer that scribbled down her woes
in composition notebooks scattered on the floor
it was far too young a day
and a far too distant night
to keep her heart beating
she was the night sky raining down on stationary
with words like clouds on her mirror;
"a few more breaths, and it will reflect nothing at all."
