Simply put
I wouldn't if I were you.

For what it's worth
It's not

For what you'll lose
Don't get confused
the dark side we choose
Is re-read old news

I know what you do to yourself
Screaming inside for help

Please

Is it just my own mind
Trying harder each time
To forget why you died
To forget when you cried
To forget how I lied

And said

It's in your head

Your sick and it's sick
How I really am.

Thought
What's life like this one

I don't need,
and then

I saw you believe
And I felt your hand

I could only dream
That we'd meet again

Then something in me
Came alive again.

Distraught words
tie the truth to the little lies

with the hurt
comes along a little light

but it burns
me worse on the inside

all I learned
is how to stay alive



To see what I see
To be what I need
could take some trying
but you won't try for me

You see how I bleed
You see me crying
this cannot be
you deny me

I cannot take
all the lying

words I thought
could teach me
how to be what you needed

took the life out of me when
you said you won't
give me the one thing I wanted

your kiss

Wonder if it is the right time

to lay my true feelings out on the line.

I fear that you might not
feel what i'm feeling
do you or do you not
Watch me
as am falling
and sink into the deep.

and if I fell in love
I fell for you.

All my love
before you
is all that I've got.
   Might not mean much to you
   but it's my whole heart.

and you can say
"not yet"
or
you "can't accept this"

but it's all my love
to you
if you want it.

Hasn't meant that much to anyone yet


All my love
to you
a love with no end.

All my love
so true
a love with no end.

All my love
again again and again.

All my love to lose
All my love I will risk.

I've gone to long without sound
can't play the victim now.

I know what you've done
and I know whats to come.
But still i'm the one
doing nothing at all.

you utterly deride me
deny me the truth
and defy me

the truth is healing
something that your needing
since your still bleeding out.

I should turn
and walk beside my shame
and learn that with great love
comes great pain.

I know what I've done.
and I know i'm the one
doing nothing at all now.

I don't know how
I can't just cry out

I don't know why
I can't just be without
you ever again.



But

Autumn tall
fall the leaves down too reach me
The trees know trust with change.

Wind sings a psalm
Right along with my heart beat
And calls me by my name.

A dream that blends
With my strife,
So I pretend
And color out the gray.

I need a place
Where my life could comfortably stay
Far from the way it is.

These worries seem so empty
When guilt and shame can't rest the blame.

You have to know
Not a fool could tempt me,
My heart holds true to love and remains sustained.

Like body's beg for heat, we reach out
Nearing closer to the flame.
Just like we seek out
are deep desires, escaping pain.

dSteine
eyes will seek for each blade of light
as it peels the darkness that may reveal
as feet will bind contract of contact with this earth
to span a bridge over flood, wasteland, or volcanoes
ears will decipher the language of silence and sound
a hunter’s sense born to trap scent in stillness and wind

because tomorrow is a promise written in salt
each day is Pandora’s box i dare open and endure

for you.
