I had a dream where you didn't leave

Held you close, tight, right next to me

Your eyes did shine and my heart wasn't sore

Looking at me with love like you did before

Told me you'd be here till the end of time

Kissing you close not recognizing a lie

Go
Just go
Fade away like this dream
Nothing is ever what it seems
We will never be

When I wake reality is harsh to a dreamer

Dose of cold air delivered by a schemer

Showed me the side of him that made me fall

Left me with the side of him he never showed at all

Though he's gone, he stays

Showing up in my dreams day after day

Go
Just go
Fade away from my mind
If only I could turn back time
Then you'd be mine

I need you gone, need you to leave

For once I just beg for peace

Stop smiling at me at night

Just stop making my heart want something that isn't right

It's unhealthy to ache for something that can't be fixed

Tired of missing someone that shouldn't be missed

So go
Please go
Fade away from my heart
I can't take this constant reminder that we are apart
I need a new start

There she sits, all alone

All she needs is a home

There she cries on the ground

All she wants is to be found

There she runs, away from here

All she feels is fear

There she screams "Find me!"

All she craves is to be free

There he kneels looking for a sign

All he needs is more time

There he sobs into the pillow

All he wants is to not feel so hollow

There he yells "I see you!"

All he craves is for this sight to be true

There she sits, an angel all alone

All he sees is her, his home

There they stand together

All they need is each other, forever

How do you cure a case of being alone?
What do you turn to after searching under every stone?
How do you convince yourself that after 3 long years,
That there is someone that will wipe your tears?

When was the last time you made someone grin?
Did they smile at you or at something you hold within?
How can someone smile in good health,
When you can't seriously smile at yourself?

Why have you kept your mind tucked away?
Are you afraid people near you won't stay?
How do you soften,
The thought of carrying your own coffin?

Is there anyone out there for me?
Why have I forced myself into this final plea?
Will someone come along and make themselves my own,
Or have you left for heaven to leave me alone.

On a broken leather sofa
By the wall of a music hall
Trying not to be recognised
But failing.

On a dusty old sofa
Relaxed at a friend's gig
Given up on staying secret
Because I was failing.

On a simple brown sofa
Holding hands at a three band show
Her touch comforts, I want to say
But I keep failing.

On a tired too-low sofa
Too-loud music vibrates the floor
My head on her shoulder, wishing to tell her
But failing.

On an unfamiliar sofa
Feeling at home as music blares
Unashamed to be myself with her
Not failing
For once
I am not afraid
With her.

~feelings, emotions, thoughts; it's better when they're on paper than in me

controlling, devouring, killing; it's better where no one else can ever see

longing, needing, begging; don't ever let them know that you really care

degrading, using, misleading; don't ever let them in on what's really there

The morning alarm has rung
     But getting up is getting old
The sun is shining outside
     But my coffee cup is cold

What comes to mind is a whip
     To chase me outa bed
Either I get up and get going
     Or lie around like lead

And yet time slowly creeps by
    And I'm still cuddled in this cocoon
Waiting wondering anticipating
     For someone to pop this inertia baloon

Slits on my skin
With the dagger of love,
You infected my insides,
Where once darkness had been.

You stole my heart,
And took it away,
Polluted it with colour,
Turned it into a work of art.

You crawled inside my mind,
Robbed me of thought,
Filled in it some happiness,
With your beauty so kind.

Your soul diffused into mine,
We became one, Your wings
Wrapped around my wounded body,
The angels' voices chimed.

As easily you made me feel,
Was as easily you destroyed me,
I have nothing left,
But scars that won't heal.

I sit here in silence, caressing
My flower of feeling,
With its petals torn,
Where is the angels' blessing?

I glue my petals back but I'm still broken,
They keep falling apart like a storm struck them
I thought what can't be mended would mend itself,
But oh was I wrong... again.
