I know we said we'd wait here
But it all became too much
How could we be so mistaken
To let it get this far
And just give up

Some things are better
Left finished
Or so we say

I know we said we'd wait here
But we failed to stay
How could we be so mistaken
To let it get this far
And just give up

This is tearing me apart
But I pull these strings tighter
To hold myself together
To keep from falling apart

But some things are better
Left finished
Or so we say

I feel your tears on my collarbone
They're making me feel so alone
I'm removed from everything
But your touch is too much
And I can't bear to leave

But some things are better
Left finished
Or so we say

This hasn't settled
These dreams will never fade
I'm a better man today
But that doesn't make up for yesterday

So here I am now
So much has changed
And everything's the same

But some things are better
Left finished

Time

Time

Time changes everything
Whether we are close or not
Whether I meant something to you
Or if I'm something you've forgot

Time can bring people closer together
After being worlds apart
Or it can simply cause us to drift away
In each other's hearts

Time can change our feelings and emotions
It can warp our perception of things
It can bring change as much as the ocean
From being dangerous into a calm sea

Time can also make us better
Turning us into a more respectable person
Reminding us of the weather
As time turns a storm into a day filled with sun

Drain

Drain

Another day and its falling apart
I try to fight it but it never changes
I try to rearrange but it stays the same
Can't explain away these words
Or how I can't complain
But there's these memories
They just won't let me go
(Let me go)

So I drain myself of you
Feel you letting go
Tear me all down
And throw it all away
I drain myself of you

I've bled for too many miles
And these lungs are too full of sin
It's crashing down around
All the mistakes I have made
And all the words I could never say
(Could never say)

So I drain myself of you
Feel you letting go
Tear me all down
And throw it all away
I drain myself of you

It's crashing down around
All the mistakes I have made
And all the words I could never say
(All the words I could never say)

Another day and its fallen apart
I tried to fight it but it never changed
I tried to rearrange but it always stayed the same
Can't explain away these words
Or how I can't complain
But there's these moments
They just won't let me go
(Let me go)

I drain myself of you
I drain these lies of you
I drain myself of you
I drain these lies of you
I drain..
Drain...

Tragedies

I write tragedies
Because I haven't found
My happy ending

Moon Humor

Voice

Day after day you're
critiquing, pulling apart
anguishing over pointless details

You scold, you demand
your silent booming voice is ugly
never stops reverberating between my ears

Torture and twist
even after they tell me,
"You look sick"

You paint cold purple
streaks up and down my skin
You deny me time and time again

Each rib has been counted
scrutinized through my skin-
but it is never enough in your eyes

I feel insane, wishing I could
scream and shout
out of my head to drown you out

Today I love you
as you're an old friend
Tomorrow I hate you
as you put me through hell again

I've tried to silence you
yet I always give in
ending up in my own prison.

Last poem

Last poem

I decided to write one last poem
To explain it all
Sometimes it's better to let go
Because the timing's wrong
But I'm still on my knees
Trying to stop the bleeding
'Cause my head knows we are dead
But my heart just won't believe it
In the evening when the night falls
And nothing seems to matter
I put my hands together
And pray for things to get better
But these hands weren't made for that
They were made to protect you
And hold yours
But I guess that's how the story ends
