Today I'll stop
I'll stop because
I know where this is going

I'll stop because
I know we're far from moving

And lastly
I'll stop because
I know
we're close to ending.
Baby, we're out of gas.

It was a warm sunny day
but gone were the lights you've shone me before nine

That warmth that once enveloped me
had turned to chilly winter sighs

I thought we were okay
but I know baby, I won't lie

We would've been so sunny
if only I hadn't left you behind.
I'm sorry. I left.

I sometimes wonder
where are we, overtime?

I sometimes wonder
why today doesn't just rhyme?

I sometimes wonder
when's the time for this to fly?

I sometimes wonder
who would be there on the line?

I sometimes wonder
what's in it that makes me stay?

I sometimes wonder
how possible is it to go away?

I sometimes wonder
would it really be this worth-keeping?

I sometimes wonder
can we both be ones worth-loving?

I sometimes wonder
about these thoughts 'til it's midnight

I sometimes wonder
about us and will this turn right

I sometimes wonder
if you wonder 'bout them too

I sometimes wonder
if this love could save us two.
With these thoughts, I think about you, too.

Everyone lies
Whether it be to themselves
Or to others

We lie to ourselves when we say everything is fine
Knowing that it isn't

We lie to ourselves when we say we'll get up in a few minutes
Knowing that once we sat down we wern't getting back up

We lie to others when we say we like their clothes
Knowing that it will keep them happy

We lie to others when we say we like their art
Knowing that we're making their day

We lie to others saying we love them
Knowing that we can't break their hearts

Our lives are controlled by lies
And we control others lives with lies.

I know that heroes often die
but I can not feel their pain

like footsteps in the dark
I can not see a face
but I know you're walking there,
going someplace- I don't know where.

So is it so terribly strange,
to want to be at your side?
Through all of the days and through the nights
Leaving starlit steps behind.
Strange
how it is so hard
When stillness hurts the most


And when all you do is strain
to make the next sunrise

It's when I need you the most
'cause while your embers start to dim,
I see they still cast a holy light,
a warning, a welcome, my beacon in the night.


So is it so terribly strange,
to want to be at your side?
While fighting our way to the sunrise,
leaving scarlet steps behind.
yes it's strange,
how close that we are,
the distance is too far.

---

And I know that heroes often die
And I can not feel their pain

Only the absence of her voice,
and the echo of his cane.

You know, their silence fills the night
And I can not see a flame

So is it so terribly strange
to want to be by your side?

I'm fading much to fast
My love
She's waiting on the bed
For me to return
From the thoughts in my head
I'm longing to touch you
My love
She's watching my every move
I can't take it anymore
My love
I'm falling into the deep end
She's trying to pull me in
I'm running away
My love
She's begging me to stay
But I can't sleep
While she's dreaming
I'm waiting to loose myself
My love
I'm fading
My love
I'm fading
*My love

I'm done
I give up
Whatever happens
Happens
And it's tough

Let nature
Take its course
With me
Let life
Have its way
With me

If I fall
I fall
I will not
Get up

I'll crawl
Inside the dirt
Because that is my
Self worth

I'll ignore
My ailments
And let them
Catch up to me
As nature
And life
Take their toll
On me

My body
My flesh
Will decay
And turn
To dust
And I'll just
Sit there
and rust
Because I've been pushed
Across my line
The line on if I choose
Between death and life
The thing that makes me know
Wrong from right

I'll throw it all away
In time
Like a game,
I will wait
for it to catch up
To me

And when it does
I'll greet fate
With a grin
And let it take
My soul and sin

For someone who loves to unnecessarily just talk & talk
Regardless of all the silent responses she often got
This speechlessness feeling is quite a shock
Suffocating with endless feelings, feeling less she is NOT
I know it sounds preposterous & absurd
Since cold & heartless she tended to display
Because the fire in her had no longer burned
She had broken pieces with an ash covered soul & the darkness faded her away

Your ghost haunts every word,
A vivid memory flashing before me
As I read each line, one by one
And I'm overcome by your spirit;
You still stand there, in the flesh,
Still able to be touched but too far,
As that gleam in your eye dwindles
And all I truly see is a stranger;
Yet in those lines of poetry, you live on--
You live as you've always lived
And continue to live in my memories;
Moments of laughter, moments of doubt,
Moments of flirtatious awkwardness,
And as I'm haunted by the past
Which lives on in my scribbled notepad,
I can't help but wonder if what I felt
Was actually ever alive to start with.
