there are rarely times i feel
put together
but even in those times
im ready to  f
                          a
                             l
                                 l
                                     apart.
                                    
just one small touch and im gone
in p  i  e  c  e  s on the floor once again
waiting to gather the energy
that i need to put myself together.

Interwoven fingertips.
My eyes move from them to you.
The memory of being wrapped in your arms
Will sustain me through empty weeks

I am not then nor now fooled by my own heart
You are as you are.
Which is good, godly, and kind.
In the waking moments of each new day
My heart aches without you near me.
I must see you again!

I cannot fly without you close to me
Nor keep a steady mind.
one second with you is enough to intoxicate my heart.
And yet, I am not satisfied
With just a moment with you.

Linger longer, my sweet, sweet dream
and kiss so gently my fragile hand.

I love him after all this time
I want him to know the pain I went through
But I am sure his eyes will never read this
So it does not feel right saying "you"

We will never have a relationship again
He made that fact perfectly clear
I must go through this life alone
I have no one to hold near

I think it is better off this way
Iron cage built around my heart
Miles of highway between him and I
To ensure we stay apart
This is another oldie I just found. Sometimes what you want most is the thing you need the least.

In a life without you,
Emptiness is all I see.
No tears,no sighs,
Emptiness is all I see.

Now even death is inviting,
But without you,
Emptiness is all I see.

What am I without you?
In every hour,
In every place,
Emptiness is all I see.

Your shadow no
longer follows me.
Emptiness is all I see.

I regret the summer i ran away
The summer in the dark
Where i should have stayed with you

The time ran out, where were we

I regret the summer i was afraid
The summer night
Where i should have said my love

The time ran out for us

My love, i never confessed.

I wish you were here
Instead you are there
We belong together
And it is not fair

A weekend never ends
When I am all alone
You are somewhere far away
And cannot get to a phone

I am going dancing tonight
But I will miss you the whole time
And while I am spinning around
You will be on my mind

I truly am in love with you
I would not break your heart
Mine is at the fracture point
Whenever we are apart
This is one of my better old ones

I'm sorry I didn't understand how to love slowly,
It's a shame you didn't have the patience to show me.

I tell myself every night that I'm the one you want

You hold my hand in public and introduce me to all of your friends

So I'm clearly the one you flaunt

You told me I am so much better than she ever was to you

So why is she still apart of the conversation?

You say I'm your first choice so why do I feel like a silver medal?

Maybe we should just stop talking, we're better at that

But deep down I wish we weren't
She's falling apart
She's discolouring
She's being stripped of her mask
She's revealing herself

The previously strong and content female
Is now bare.
What was once coated in sugar with an incomprehensible bitter taste
Is now unveiled.

Her soul now radiates to the world;
She experienced her autumn-season.
