There's a side of you that you're hiding
Every star's not enough to wish on
Your existence becomes pain
But isn't that how you were trained?

People crowd; ignore them like the dead
Mark the end of a deep depression
You keep falling prey to hundreds
Can you ever somehow forget this?

A century passes, but resilience never returns
Exhausted every option
Maybe if you vanished, something would change

Emotions, disagreement
Heavy harm and lovesickness
I try to be quiet, it's just like I vanished
Nothing has changed

Some people admire your bravery
They don't know how much you hate this —
And want to be alone

But I want you to take me along
There are things that I have wondered for so long
Seasons change, but you never see flowers in bloom
No matter what, your eyes indicate the doom

Can't seize the day, because to you, the day disappears
Won't get attached; things are only transient here
I wish that I could somehow make my understanding known
You're just like me; you need a heart to counteract the stone
sleepless Oct 2014
Hanging high over your head
Foreign lights burn red
Your face feels numb
Shoot it in slow; feel it take hold

Forgotten by those who matter the most
You know the streets — you are you're own host
Wishing on stars that burned out long ago

In the garden of night you muster
All of the friends you have are strangers
Trying to cover the spots, the blisters
Doing everything to not remember

Will you find your family?
Do you even care now?
'Cause you have stories that some won't believe
But you can't overlook these memories

Assimilate with those craving a home
Because when moon takes the sun, you're cursed to roam
And wish on stars that burned out long ago

— The End —
