just like the branches
of our faux christmas tree

i don't smile
i don't want to
i hate wearing this dress

To love the dark

Has the dark ever made you feel as lonely as he did when he broke your heart to pieces with his bare hands?
Did it ever keep you up at night like you did crying over him?
Has he ever enveloped you like the darkness has, clinging to your silhouette as gentle as a silk sheet?

The dark night will keep you safer than love ever could
It removes image and vanity
It doesn't discriminate
The dark will never be greedy or callous

The nights love stretches further than your dreams, further than the miles of blank horizon that promises to be anything you desire
The nights beauty will touch you in ways love could never
The moons light, the stars shine, the sunsets warm tendrils

Step outside
Let the crisp night air caress your naked figure
The night shall always descend to comfort your soul
Love descends only into swirling resent

the moon is warmer than the sun

Rain falls good evil
They all get wet and I know
The rain picks no side

Breath escapes from failing lungs
Withheld and yet withdrawn
Spirit ascends from hollow body
Leaving husk behind

The breaking of cosmic chains
Disguised as extinction of the flesh

Essence drifts through ether
Lost amongst the wonders of creation
Untethered traveler
Escaping the disgrace of dying stars

Relinquished life
Acquired release

Liberation of the body
Immunity of the spirit
Elevation of the mind
Alleviation of torment
Death is not the end.

Restless and stressed over things
I cannot control
I wish I could stand back
And look at things as a whole.
My father always said I could never see the big picture.

If anything were to happen, I know I would be alright
Because I got my best friend, best friend

Best friend don't you go away
Best friend please don't you run away from me

That's why you're "The" best friend
You're not supposed to get mad at me
Best friend is supposed to know how to put up with these inconsistent mood swings

I got my best friend, my only friend, my best friend
I wish I could love you to the end
But I just wanna strangle you
But that's why you're the best friend, my only friend
Because you're supposed to make these feelings go away

Oh, it's funny how sometimes I have these feelings for you
And other times I just don't wanna be around you
But I just don't know what to do
My feelings are always changing

Oh, best friend please don't you go away from me
The days are gonna be longer without you
Without you

But if anything were to happen, I know I would be alright
Because I got my best friend, my best friend

So best friend don't you hide from me
You gotta talk to me
You know I'm impatient and don't like to be kept waiting

Pretty soon you're gonna be the one waiting
Waiting for me to feel
Because I'm sorry, I get angry, I get down, and I get moody
But it's just me
Best friend it's just me
Now what is you

Reminds me of the time that I spent, time that I wasted.
Til the past and the future blend, and I feel so complacent.
Lost amid waves, formed in the wind of
Summer nights and lies that I told myself as a kid.

Now there's nothing honest left, except things to remember by.
A thousand little tokens, to remind me of every night
I let emptiness fill me, felt so fulfilling at the time,
But now I'm left to reminisces, realize I can't rewind.

I guess it takes more than a mess of emotion
To paint another picture, perfect, something envoking
The ideas that got me through the day, I heard it said, once again
There's never going to be another way forward

I take another shot in the dark, another empty park
Held in place by time itself, left to vacant dark, I take
Yet another step in place, too afraid to grow up
Holding off every force that i know of, as of late

I've been stuck in my head for long as I can remember
My memories tied to the presence of weather
All my best are nestled in cloudy days with the
Scent of rain so reminiscent, find myself stuck in these visions
Clinging to blind faith in
Emotions
Memories
So far gone, and I keep forgetting to make new ones

I sometimes don't want to talk to people
like everyone just gets so annoying
and I just need some 'me' time
some time alone.

and when you ask to be alone,
people find it rude and they even call you antisocial.

and when you stay amongst people with moody you
they say you're giving them attitude

like what am I supposed to do exactly
what do y'all want exactly?
why is society so freaking confusing and unappreciative
Someone tell me, Someone give me an answer please.
