As for Life, I have nothing
much to say.
It's hard and it's lonely,
but I guess it'll be OK.
I guess you'll find
contentment in the
little joys as they come.
I hope you will.
And I hope you'll
remember not to
hold on too tightly
to their memory when
they're gone.

And as for Love,
if you ever find it,
keep it.
Swallow it into your soul
even deeper than
your darkest secrets.
Don't ever hurt it,
don't ever mistreat it.
Just know that you're
fortunate and embrace it.
Just be it.

As for Tears, I have too
much to say.
So let's make it short -
tears from the soul
don't easily wipe away.
Tears are detoxifying
and wash our spirit clean.
Though they do hurt,
they'll heal you and
your bitter dreams.

And as for Love,
you know it's the
greatest joy.
You know it's all
you've ever wanted
since you were
a little boy.
You'll search for it forever,
it's a dream you'll
always be chasing.
It's all that can pull
you through, even when
it's Death you're facing.

And as for Death,
is she silent, is she sweet?
Will she kiss you when
you're awake, or take
you when you're asleep?
Will you embrace her
body as she stands
before you, unclothed?
Or will you be faithful to Life,
and stay on your
chosen road?

I guess I'm just young,
I guess they say
I'm just dumb.
I guess I'm just young,
but guess what -
I'm not drunk.
I guess I'm confused,
I guess I did give a ****.
I guess I loved you,
but I guess I ran out of luck.

I made some choices
that I live to regret.
I hear deep voices
in the back of my head.
They call me and tell me
that I should be grateful;
for it is pain and entropy
that make the soul unbreakable.

I'm just oh-so-young,
but I feel oh-so-old.
I'm oh-so dumb,
but too clever to be told.
I'm so **** sober,
but confusion makes me drunk.
I have too much pride
to realize that on my own
I'll never be enough.

Where have my idols gone?
Are they just idling on the sideline?
Where has my laughter gone?
I even cry now on the outside.
Why do I make mistakes,
even more so when
I try to fix them?
Where is my self-belief?
I'm oh-so-strong,
yet oh-so-weak.

Bathe me in blood
and cut my tumors loose.
Free my mind from
thought, so all my dreams
can come true.
Restore my faith in love
and all I'll believe in is you.

I guess I'm just young,
I guess it's alright
that I'm dumb.
I guess I'm just young,
let's go ahead and get drunk.
Let's lose ourselves like the
rest of our generation.
We'll die sweetly
and slowly together;
all good things in life
come with patience.

Temporay forevers,
distant tomorrows.
Broken yesterdays
drenched in tears
of sorrow.
Permanent questions
with temporary answers.
These thoughts
have filled me with silence,
spreading through my
body like a cancer.

It was the sweetest start
with the most bitter ending.
My mother's love
is a decision that
is forever pending.
My open wounds
beg for salt,
even though they
throb of the pain
when it gets rubbed in.
I've come close
to death's pool before,
but have never had
the courage to be thrown in.

I ask for you wherever I go,
you're the cure for which
I have always been searching.
The only conclusions
I've ever come to are
those which leave
my soul purging.
Undress my heart
and renew my soul.
Be the *******
which keeps my blood surging.

Silent screams,
violent dreams,
a place in the sand next to
a quiet stream.
Realise the tears that the mind can bring when life seems to fade away.

Dark places,
strange faces,
death-stricken eyes
long awakend.
Who could ever stand a chance
to fake it
when living with a broken soul.

Take me to other side
where the grass isn't
so green.
Show me the places
where you hide
when your soul
bleeds and screams.
Feed me truth,
feed me lies,
feed me anything.
Feed me love or
feed me hate;
for I am in between.

Shadow me or
light me up,
blaze me with your heat.
Take me down and
sell my soul on
the corner of the street.
Walk over me like
an old rug
and **** me
like I'm cheap.
Only you can take me
to Wonderland
where the darkness rules
and the light is *weak.

Lost, but never found.
I try to swim,
but I always drown.
Delve into my soul,
deep down.
Like a waterfall, my
weeping is just a sweet sound.
Who am I?
Am I what you want me to be?
I'm asking you - what do
you want to see?
Am I the triumphant tree
or am I just another fallen leaf?
I'm just trying to
find the line between
love and insanity.

I've got time on my mind,
I've got drugs on my mind.
I'm doing lines in my mind,
hoping I don't die in my mind.
I try not to mind,
but it's killing me inside.
I've lost love many times -
I've never found the true kind.
I stand alone in the light,
all I have is time on my side.
My soul is darker
than the night,
but I don't navigate
my life blind.
She says she loves
me more than life,
but no words can
remove this knife;
it's stuck in my back,
reminding me to always
think twice.
I have trust issues.

What draws her attention
is when I don't give
her attention
and the truth is
I love her,
but it's something
that I'd rather not mention.
She's fishing for answers,
I'm only giving her questions.
I always fall for the girls
with the most class,
but somehow I never
learn my lesson.
I'm starving for love
and I bite too hard
when I taste it.
I'm trying to keep
my heart steady
so that the beat
doesn't get wasted.
I hope when she reads this
she understands
the look on my face and
why when she started
running I never
went chasing.
I gave up.

These trust issues
have got me so confused.
It doesn't matter whether
I love or hate,
somehow I always lose.
I'm trying to make
it to the top,
so I can have a better view.
But I'm stuck at the bottom
and it isn't something new.
I don't need someone
to pick me up or
come to my rescue.
I realize that it's
something that only I can do.
But everytime I look
at my shadow I
wish it was you.
You used to tell me
I can do anything that I plan.
Where did it all change?
It always falls through
and hurts me so bad.
And I know that it's the
sight of me you can't stand,
but I just wanted you to know
that I'm your number one fan.
*I wrote this for you.
