lately all i do is see you cry
its because of me
darling your eyes don't seem as bright
our love wont see the light
your fading

and i all i want is to see you smile
but i know that means i'll have to leave

and for a moment i pause
thinking of what we could be
or should i say
"could've been"
and it hurts
because i don't want to let go
i really dont

but doll your tears
bring out my worst fear
that your sad
mad
not happy
and i cant stand that
because that just not living

i wont keep you chained any longer

all i want is to see you smile
but i know i'll have to leave
because darling

"your better off without me"
its true, but i wish it was a lie

Let me hold you tonight
Let me tell you it'll be alright
Let me listen
Let me see
Let me in
I won't let you be
Let me keep you warm
Let me calm down the storm
Let me hold your hand
Let me understand
Let me in
I'll ask again and again
Just let me in
Let me...

Smoking out my window.
Crisp autumn breeze.
Candle barely alive.
I swear to myself.
I’ll have to let you go.
But just like the smoke I blow out.
It always comes back in.

FOE
I never knew the hate and jealousy was so real,
Now not knowing what to listen to, what to think or how to feel,
The light that lives inside me burns with purpose,
Maybe theirs would too,
if they actually protected their vibe,
Changed the people they hang with,
you know,
really found their tribe,
I’ve heard the words of family, the lies spewed through their teeth,
All because they couldn’t be little ol me,
Fake smiles, I love you’s, and walking contradictions,
They didn’t think I’d see the truth that the whole time I’ve been missing,
It’s not love, it’s jealousy and greed,
When they thought I wasn’t looking they sowed a seed,
Ignorantly not knowing what they do,
Cause, Everything you send out comes right back to you,
The darkness I have endured, they thought no one would ever know,
But The veil has been lifted,
now everyone can enjoy the show

I'm going insane
From what I do
My obsessions I hold
But I foster too.

Do I like it,
I guess i do
Because right now
I feel there’s nothing to lose.

Run me down
Because you might see me
In all the shades
I breathe and all colors
I admonish.

But I like it
I really do-
and I won’t
Be restrained
By you.

You smile, i smile
You cry, i cry
You get upset, i get upset
You get happy, i get happy
You loved me, i loved you

Then why is this
You left me, i can't let you go

i dont want to write another poem about you
i dont want to be thinking about you
i dont want you inside my head
but how could the best thing that's ever happened to me
hurt so bad?

Clenched broken glass
cut deeper, which takes
a longer time to heal.

So let the jagged pieces loose.
Let it slip between your fingers.
Let it fall into its place.

Let it go.
Let it go.

it’s hard to let something go when they’ve already taken it away from you
i’m afraid i’ll never be me, whoever that is
