I carved
                    The shape of
The USA               on my wrist
       Asked God to
    Bless the occasion
                   And took the reds, whites
     And blues with a shot of *Jack

Why It Is You?

Because it is your voice that I want to hear
Because it is your eyes that I want to see
Because it is your lips that I want to kiss
Because it is your arms that I want to hug
Because it is your cheeks that I want to touch
Because it is your hair that I want to smell
Because it is your hands that I want to hold
Because beside you, I want to lay down
Because it is your laugh that makes me laugh, too
Because it is you, the reason why I smile

Because it is you, the person that I want to be with
Because it is you, the person that I really love
Because it is you that inspires me
Because it is you that makes me feel like I am complete
Because it is you, the reason why I am inlove

Because it is you why I am hurt
Because it is you why I am crying
Because it is you why I chose to leave
Because it is you why I decided to move on
Because it is you why I am trying hard to stand up again
Because it is you why I am a new person now
And yes, it is still you who is in my heart

Untitled

Your light voice seduced the drums of my ears,
You've replaced my long thin scars with hopes and dreams,
HOW DARE YOU.
You took this broken shell,
With no soul,
Or emotions, I destroyed them.
And gave me life. You gave me life.
Not the kind I now dread, but the kind that makes me want to live.

Because I lost you

Blood is flowing through my veins
My dress is full of red wine stains
and I am feeling much in pain
Because I lost you

The world is spinning very fast
From the future to the past
I´m wishing the memories would last
Because I lost you

I hear music start to play
Please don't play that song today
It fills me with dismay
Because I lost you

Pieces all over the floors
Both from my heart and from yours
Tried but couldn't find the source
Because I lost you

Now I guess we'll never know
You held on and then let go
Tears are starting to flow
Because I lost you

Make this sadness go away
but it never will after today
You helped me find my way
and now I´ve lost you..

Losing someone is never easy.

I've

I've always tried to hold everything together.
Pain or love threw any weather.
But even the strong know the week.
It hurts when you get knocked down but you get back up, cant sleep.
I hope you know this in every word I speak.
Because one day I'll be gone.
All that will remain are forgotten melody's to a broken song.
I can never claim everything will be all rite.
because we all know what hides inside our heads at night.
Even when I've lost my fight
And I don't wake agene at the end of a night.
Just put your faith in the sick, deprived, and un-holly
Because death is all it seems will take you wholly

I Love You Because

If you asked me
Why I fell in love with you
I would say
Your smile
The way you snort when you laugh
Your bear hugs
The forehead kisses you gave me every night
Your snores

But if I asked you
Why you fell in love with me
You would sit there silently
Because you can't remember

because 'I love you' is not enough...

you ask me why I look at you
but never say a word
and you tease me--
with the sweetest lack of mercy--
to chase the sadness from my eyes...

but I am afraid.

I fear to shatter the essence of the warmth I feel for you.

for,
if I could tear my heart from myself,
and offer it to you,
though my hands tremble,
and my eyes fade,
and my lips turn gray with stillness,

I would--

if only to answer your question.

if only because,

"I love you"

is not enough.

Because Of You

There’s a hole
In my heart
And it’s shaped
Like you

There’s a wound
In my lungs
And It feels
Like your touch

Because of you
Everyday is weighed down
Like I’m a prisoner

Because of you
Insanity for me is just around the corner
Like I’m lost in the labyrinth of your eyes all over again

Because of you
I’m not my own

IK that I've used the first stanza or something VERY similar to it before but it goes better here tbh

Because You’re Supposed To

You think because your skin is wrinkle and blemish free
you have achieved a great feat of life

being thirty
or forty
or fifty-three
looking 23 ***

The last book you read
was only done so that you can name
the last book you read

Your soul is as paper thin
as is your skin

hold on
yes
your shell, vehicle, vessel
and its drapings, anointings, adornings
are very beautiful

you do know that
none of that at all
is actually you

your body fat percentage and credit score
is as important to you
as the birth of your children
as the day of your first wedding
as the day of your second divorce

hold on
yes I'm calling you shallow

hold on
no I'm not saying that I'm better

I will say at least
what I do
I do because it has a purpose
I do because it has a meaning

I know that lives are more important than taxes and their brackets
I know that you do not stay
just because of what others might say if you go

What you do is because. . .
What you believe is because. . .
Right down to the very words you choose

why do you do anything that you do

that’s right
go ahead and say it
