Weep for me
And for all I could have been
And wanted to be
But please don't waste your tears
Weeping for someone
That I never wished was me
Three years ago I said I do,
To my best friend and love so true.

A stranger with a tender heart,
Who's vows will never break apart.

He holds my hand when I am lost,
And see me smile at any cost.

He'll fight for me right to the core,
And strong enough to hold the door!

He's my best friend and lover too,
A bond so strong, a love so true.

I love him so without a doubt,
And surely cannot live without.

The past three years have felt like home,
And many many years to come.

Sometimes I sit in silence,
and contemplate the world I once knew
while I stir the contents of my glass
and feel the burn of tequila grace my lips.

The sun sets in an uneven shade of red,
and unfortunately all I see is you
hidden within the ungodly gray clouds
that slowly pull the night upon us.

It has been three years now, and I'm over us.
But there's still a longing to know what
really happened, and why you left.
Do you ever stop and think about me?
I don't want you to fall in love with me
for love will **** attraction

I don't want you to come closer
for I would have a desire to touch you

I don't want to touch you
for I would want you to kiss me

I don't want you to kiss me
for I would want you to make love to me

I don't want you to make love to me
for I would want to make you mine forever

I don't want to make you mine forever
for I would be less interested in you

I don't want me get less interested in you
for I will search some one new

Therefore, I prefer to keep myself away from you
that way you will desire me and I would desire you

she jumped into
his blue eyes
(with the green flecks)
so readily
that she remembered
to take a breath
after she was
completely submerged

never have i felt such a contented bliss
than to feel the quiet in a world such as this

to pack my belongings within my mind
and travel the world with such wonders to find

to journey across both space and time
to live in a world that is simply mine

never has such a love unfurled
within the pages of another world
Ahh to spend the day lounging, sleeping, reading..
among other things ;o)

I don't know what I'm doing
I don't know what I'm feeling
I don't know where I'm going
I don't know who I'm being
I'm overwhelmed,
frustrated,
I can't cope

These are the slogans
I repeat to myself
Over and over again

Oh yeah

I'm a failure too
I've lived this life
What did I do?
What do I have to
show for it?

These facts about myself
are the one thing
I'm very positive about.

I repeat these slogans
day in and day out
always wondering
what I'm so
depressed about

I bury my head in these sands

Suffocating
Smothering
choking on anxiety
in my own
advertising slogans
on my private airwaves

To complicate
matters
worse
just because we think something
doesn't make it true
that goes for
self worth too.

But

Mindfulness
stands
watching the passing cars
from a freeway overpass
like our racing thoughts
not holding on
not making them go away,
in peace
simply
letting them
be.
States of mind are transitory, come and go.
