I wish you would allow your heart to heal
Hidden hurt you've chosen to conceal
Just so we move past pain long kept within
Finally open the door to this Hell we've been residing in
I'd let you be free from my excessive concern and fear
Then the fog of constant stress would lift and suddenly clear
But that would not be the end of negative feelings I know
A start to killing all the troubles we ought to let go
A real solution is challenging to find
More and more impossible to leave mistakes behind
I wish you would be quick with forgiveness for my sins
Anticipation dances on nerves like needles and pins
Once you make decision to stay forever by my side
Can take petty problems and cast them aside
To know you are trying hard is all I really need
Have faith that my efforts if patient will succeed
I can be monstrous when I wage war with my own brain
Understand I don't mean words I utter when I'm insane
Someone could come across your path and mend the gaping hole
Unintentionally dug with my foolish choices in the depths of your soul
But I am sure you would miss me and the laughter that filled our days
Tears temporary
Love always
Because love truly conquers all

Is death as peaceful as I have imagined?
Will give long-awaited relief
Knives in back to the wall have me pinned
Wounds heal
Not the greif

Attacks from demons leave throbbing scars
Love will stop the pain
Soothe the tissue burning like cigars
Adding life to happiness slain

More cuts appear quickly as stitched
In my skin like engravings
Stuck into flesh
Cannot be switched
To tattoos like clocks at daylight savings

Now time passes with zero meaning
Might just stop altogether
Waiting for the instant I'm sent careening
As I die
Descend into the nether
Doo doo doo

If this is at all possible
Take time out of day to appreciate the little things

A little gratitude goes a very long way

Reason to celebrate can be found
In the ******* situations

I know life is difficult
It is not impossible

Do not know what the future has in store but the one thing I can always foresee is laughter

Is this a premonition?
If you don't take life for granted your eyes will be opened to all the amazing possibilities hidden around you

Catch your fleeing breath
I am thankful for shared air
Need your exhaled love
Sometimes I forget to catch my breath after you take it away

I am not very good at being a friend
Am not always there by your side
I can promise to be there til the end
No matter how bumpy the ride

Your light will dim if you let it

You will have whiplash from the metaphorical car crash resulting because when that light is turned off you have no way to see the road
No way of making out which direction to go

You will not make it very far

The light will come back on only if you allow it to

And with it sense of control and confidence

You will be seeing clearer again in no time
Mood lighting is okay indoors every once in awhile but when your on life's road having good visibility is essential

First friends do not stay
First lovers go away too
Life's lessons in pain
It's true that childhood friends and puppy loves rarely last

Plenty of people
Pour their opinions on me
Find pressure pointless
The majority actually

You left in a state of confusion

I was sure what we had was concrete
All of a sudden I found myself drowning in a flood of emotions
Feedback?

If my assumptions about him are right
It is going to take more than friends for him to see the light
Jumped gun without stopping to take a second look
Scared before I had a peek under the cover of his book
All is not what it appears to be
