As I pause to take in the view
I quiver in thinking that you
Are somewhere in it
Call me a cynic

Treating me the way that you did
Opened up wounds I felt close as a kid
They aren't bleeding
Only impeding
The growth of my skin

With this hole you left in my days
I am slowly thinking of ways
I'm getting better
Since I met her

She dances like you never danced
Making me so extremely entranced
Seeing her moving
Is improving
The damage you did

Thank you unkind words
That killed it off
If I could rewind
I'd warn myself

You say I need
To find Happiness
So tell me why
You broke my heart

When this fleeting feeling leaves you
I'll regret that I forgave you
So I'll bite my tongue
And fill my mouth with blood
As I watch you pass me by

You say "You're right"
I already knew
Knowing you're wrong
Is nothing new

Treat me unkind
Is what I say
Without a word
It seems to me

Now that this fleeting love escaped you
I lament that I forgave you
I cannot bite my tongue
My mouth's too full of love
I do not want to pass you by

Tonight, we find ourselves intertwined
In painless design, we of bear flesh
Cast onward, searching
You don't speak like I
You refuse what I say
Yet, we continue forward
We crown it all
Finishing in unmannerly discourse
I'll have to pretend
That never happened as well
Even though you leave me cold
And alone to relish in
All of the gorgeous things
That have come and passed
I still love the color of the world
At 5 in the morning

Towards the flame
I'm edging so
I know it burns me
But I want to know
The warmth inside
Its fiery glow
So, marching forward
I blindly go

The tongue it kissed
My finger tips
It singed my skin
And touched my lips
It whispered thoughts
Into my ear
Of perfect love
With one so dear

I bite. It's promise
Seems far too real
To pass up on
This chance to feel
The passion for
This one so sweet
This heat and wonder
Full of deceit

**** this foolish
Heart of mine
It breaks so easy
It takes much time
To mend the wounds
Of blackened lungs
From breathing smoke
Where love has stung.

Tomorrow, I'll forget you
Because you've forgotten me
All of those "I love you"s
Will be lost within my drinks.
I will poison myself
Until your memory expunged
At least I will be happy then

Tomorrow, I won't love you
Since you love someone new
All those moments shared
We had shared in vain
Your gorgeous eyes
Don't smile at me
They burn through my chest

Tomorrow, I stand tall
At the top of a mountain
Just to prove I can without your help
Your memory crossed out
Our love a fleeting thought
I'll find something unique
And you won't be around

We can be crazy together
Just entertain the thought
Two lunatics in tandem
Free-falling towards the sun

We can be crazy together
Demented for each other
With pet giraffes and elephants
We'll dance while on safari

We can be crazy together
Like paired un-matching socks
We'll open up the heavens
With our outlandish thoughts

We can be crazy together
Since love always requires
A fair amount of madness
To fill your heart's desires

The sound of falling water
Inside a wooded gloom
Behind a lowly river
Incites this rose to bloom

Its red glows in the shadows
Of midnight and of fiends
The moon, it shares a pale glow
With rose's crimson dreams

Their shine, it brings one wonder
A lavish light to see
But my eyes, still a blunder
Are searching through the trees
