Faith
and she tries too hard to be perfect

I trusted you
Gave you all that was due
But you took that trust and trashed it
Burned it
You take beauty
And turn it into something ugly
I don't know what to do
I find another bruise
This is the last time
I let you try your game on me
It's time for you to leave
We'll never see each other again, ever
Goodbye forever

I broke myself
 years ago

Then I found you

Picked up the pieces

Put myself back together
It was good for a while

Then I broke myself again

The pieces are scattered now

I will try to find them

Put myself back together again

But I am broken

Flawed

Missing several pieces

I need to find them

I need to stop breaking myself

The pieces are somewhere

All the king's horses

All the doctors
All the counselors
They 
could not do it

But I can

I will try

I need to find the pieces

They are out there somewhere

Scattered
I will find them
Piece by piece
It’s a weird feeling.

    To feel like you’re losing bits
    and pieces of yourself
    every day.

    Every moment,

    sitting back and watching it happen
    unable to stop
    or pull yourself away.

    It’s a weird feeling, to say the least.
Everybody has that one song they listen to all day because it is the only thing that understands their feelings.
Music is a window into an otherwise solid shell,
an escape from the walls built long ago and never broken,
a bandage to heal open wounds invisible to all but you,
a way to shout without saying a word,
a way to cry without a tear down your cheek,
a way to stop thinking without sleep,
And a way to be alone without anyone looking for you.

Day
where

Day
to tell you the truth – sometimes, I feel quite withdrawn.
sometimes, I feel so tethered down like a hot air balloon in the clouds with an anchor on the ground.
I feel like gravity is holding on too tight, and not tight enough all at once…
the truth is, I don’t know whether I’d rather be up there or down here.
I don’t know where I’d go if I actually thought I had a choice.
the green grasses of Edenborough, the sandy shores of Greece,
that one spot in the middle of the ocean where the waves lie still, and silent,
or the eye of a hurricane making it’s way to land.
or would it be to the furthest star, hidden in the darkest corner of time?
or the smallest atom, hidden in the darkest corner of your mind?
if I could go any where, I don’t know where I’d actually go.
there’s just so much… so much… so much.
