If you’re my ally
I have no axis.
Confiding in the enemy
is what kills me habitually.
yet I'm genuinely surprised.
was hopelessly deluded
into thinking you were someone else
the person i wanted you to be
and though my blindness is fading
this wisdom is leaving me hollow.
my soul, losing ignorance, has nothing to cling to
no hope for reason and rationale  
just sifting through my intellect clouded with fear
wanting peace that wont last
because we're feeding the war thats fought in our minds.
It's not physical, what we're doing.
this isn't an emotional sport.
those feelings are on a back burner dying
and i'm trying to comprehend your logic
matching it against my own
to decipher just who in this world I  can call an ally
if my own thoughts betray me then it makes sense
that this world is revolving on an axis.

I can’t bite this feeling
A feeling like I’m sleeping
Wake up to find I’m dreaming
A dream that wont come true

It seems no one around me
Can see how I am drowning
Suffocated by dark memories
That no one ever knew

And when I am awaken
Those surrounding me are shaken
They only know the “me” whose sleeping
And whose dreams are left askew

My eyes are dancing in your direction
and suddenly they find yours
surprised, I'm jolted by my souls *******
Entranced; but eyes drop to the floor.
Flushed with a lush of emotions
I can hardly bare to move
I smile and glance around the room
My eyes make an orbit encircling you...

And sometimes it feels like you're cold
when i'm in the dead of night.
So shy but I'm trying to be bold
to burn like fire, be your light.
Fearful, I dive in the clouds
when things don't come out right.
But when courage moves me to see you
see me, all the dark world is bright.
Yet the sun keeps stealing my shadows.
Warm. Contagious. Deadly.
I'm just trying to let you live
but at sunrise you'll forget me.

So gravity is my fight with you;
forces beyond my control.
But when you finally realize
you'll have my eyes without disguise.
In spite of all my journeys long wait,
I could not turn my back on fate.

Now, a few more hours till day break
I'll see you on the other side.
The sunshine is fleeting,
but i wont be leaving,
I'll fade.

Just call me moon
Say you're my earth
I am your guiding light
I'll be with you all night
Every night.
Every night.

Grasping at patience
Over taken by need
Hesitantly hopeful
We must take heed, to
Perfect imperfections
In sweet melodies
Our dreams are not dreamt
To be compromised.
