We do what we do for a reason
And you may not understand my life
I cannot understand mine either
But it makes so little sense to fight
With the people I owe my success to
I'm successful in only one way
But success always leads to a downfall
And that is always the part that I play
No damsel in distress but I'm waiting
Because deep down I need to be saved
Cause my greatest enemy is myself
And my actions cut deep like razor blades
And I know deep inside I have power
But to release it takes more than I have
Maybe one day I'll stand on my own feel
Maybe one day I can just please myself.

I could write a million songs

About the color of your eyes,

I could write a million poems

About the softness of your hands,

I could sing forever about your beauty,

And it will never be enough.

I could just look at your face

And know the world is going to be all right.

I could touch your arm

And calm your heart down to a beat,

I could laugh for years upon end,

Just in hopes of seeing your smile.

For every tear I shed on a lonely night,

I pray you lay there next to me.

If love is what I have

You will never have as much for me.

But if I should die

And your world would fall apart,

I would force God to return my life,

Just to love you one more day.

But as I sit here,

With you not in sight

I wonder can I live

Without you in my life.

i talk too fast
and i yell real loud
i curse all the time
and i am too proud
of what, i don't know
anxiety hit me like a ton of bricks
i don't know if i can handle it
all these flaws make up who i am
and i don't know what to do
But, my biggest downfall is you.

We talked everyday
We never missed even one

You and I were forever
A match made in heaven

But you were a fallen angle
And I was a flying demon

My wish is you
your wish is a mystery

We haven't talked for days now
How many more till I *break

Every day a facade,
a fake.
What is it
that you’re trying not to break?
Pieces of you
and pieces of me
are already broken,
not ever neatly.
Everyone trying
to live in their lies.
Everyone struggling
to simply get by.
Who would ever,
when there was a crack,
take a blow at it all
and never look back?
Who left me,
bleeding on the floor,
crying behind locked doors?
Did I do this?
Did I ruin my own blissfullness?


....Are we to blame
for
our
own

love will be your downfall
it will bring you to your knees
within that fortress you call a heart

love will be your demise
the reason behind your untouched desires
that you'll never reach
because they were never yours in the first place

love will tear you to shreds
just to become pieces in the wind
so you'll be carried to foreign ground
and forced to rebuild

love will be your murderer
because self will crumble
as your heart bleeds out
and all you can do is watch

love will be your downfall
but
will also be the reason for the **victory

Love is self less. Love is putting others before you. It is the end of selfish desires because you want to do more- be more- for others.

I lost my heart to a dame called fame
And every day I worshiped her the same
Adoration and power, everyone knew my name
Every step and twirl drew me deeper into her game
I found myself dancing on a slippery ledge in the rain
Until my feet bled and what I lost was much more than I gained
When I could dance no more she twirled into another's arms
Seducing new lovers with her old flashy charms
Who knew not the dues by which she set their alarms
She left me behind, limping and all used up
All because I proved I loved fame far too much
Sold off little bits of my soul for the favour of her smiles
But fame does not love you back, it simply beguiles
You can see the tremble in her hands,
the subtle twitches under her light eyes,
the small freckles on her face,
and remain in awe for
all of the beauty
in the world
lies in
her.
