When you thought you're just a kid
When you thought you're all alone
When you thought everything is gone
When you thought there's no home
When you thought this is the end.

I'm doomed.

You led me by the hand into deep waters,

dark and tempering,

and with your every simple word,
I found myself not breathing,

until, wrist straining against my writhing,
you dragged me back to air.

And shaking, goose bumps rising, 

I cried for you,

and for the water, which had hugged me

and tried so fiercely to pull me back in.

can’t you see how much you want me?
how much you crave my essence?
open me up, open me right now.
caress me with your tongue.
ogle my perfectly shaped bars;
lick my wrapping.
are you dying yet?
tear me apart, take in my implausibly deep flavor;
eat me, eat me, eat me like you’ve never tasted me before.

It would make my mother cry
to know I chose the way I'd die.

The atmosphere changes
So does the temperature
so does my face
I see a room of faces
A sea of things
that look just like me
Nose, eyes,
hair, lips
But none of them look like me
None of them are me
I don't know what I am doing
I turn to leave
but the doors have all been locked
There are no windows
I feel the heat rising
The faces multiply
I can't move
So I stand
in the room of faces
and I wait
Wait for something
perhaps nothing
to save me from the dread
that my reality may be
the future of everything

Every night when I'm in bed
and all has gone to sleep
I close my eyes and think of dreams
then rest my sleepy head.

Then that night when no one sees
I fly off far away.
To meet my friends in the land of nod
untill the verry next day.

Sometimes
The darkness invades
And the blade
Calls my name
And I
Am so
Tempted
To answer.

I would've stayed
Standing and whispering
Hoping my tales of life
Wouldn't worry you too much
If there weren't others
Watching me as I awkwardly stared
I would've stayed
And told you
That each day is up and down
That I might get a happy ending
If I work hard enough
If there wasn't so much snow
I would've sat there
And talked about what life
Could have been like
If we were still together
Laughing and arguing
Being wild together
But you have molded a part of who I am
I wish I could have stayed
Because I miss you.
