We all need feedback

I simply

Want to think deep

While my mind is empty

Sitting in all my wrong doings

And the people who've

Done me worse

Loved me better

And made it happen, somehow

You're visually perfect, but I'm looking for the mental image

To personally mix

To try and find the balance

What changes is the dialogue

The common misconception is that we all learn the lesson when we can only think of the future outcome that presently effect the us when will turn into the past

I am the object
Of my own demise
Surprise
I wish you wouldn't of heard me say it

I shut down and close you out
And I didn't know how stupid it was until now
But I won't go back
I don't regret a simple single thing

It's been awhile
Since I've sat and thought it over
My dreams aren't so sober
And the venom is still in the center left
Of my heart so I didn't die
In this weakened state I tend to stay awake

Unfortunately I took your love for granted
You, also used me to become stable so you wouldn't be alone
So we are our own enemies in each other
We can mix like oil and water

In the most delicate of moments
And the decadent situation

This is my last chance to reach through the wall without using my limbs
Before I'm slain by my own promises
And smack against the ground of reality

Don't lie the hard part isn't the first step
It's having to take the first step and the fear that comes after it

I don't think

I'm ready

Your best friend is dear to you
You have some of your fondest memories with them
But what happens when them being your friend isn't enough
You want more of them
But you also don't want to take a chance
Because you might gain
You might lose
It's a game of risks
Gain a love?
Lose a friend?

You should never abstain from love for the fear of getting hurt. You should seek out the one who takes evrey part of you into their heart. One whom you can gaze upon and know in the deepest parts of your soul that  If your time together where to end, They are worth the risk.
There will be pain, but there will be no regrets. There will be sadness, but you will have the joy of a thousand memories. there might be tears, but they will dry knowing the privilege of experiencing and sharing love with that person was worth it.

You are not too old to dream a dream
Not too weak to walk a mile
If you really want to see the light
There at the end of the tunnel, you can find
When you take the risk, when you take the chance...

Closed doors, open windows,
Long distance calls between two singles.
Dinner for one on a six seater table,
another romantic comedy on cable.
Karaoke set untouched,
mirror on the wall frequently watched.
Wine glasses in the sink,
monotonous thoughts with plentiful time to think.
Just Jump

He spoke so slowly.
His words, they came from
the twitch of vocal chords
and slips of tongue.

His lips wove glances
of the truth behind his smile;
she was taught to take chances
every once in a while.

His words left a message on her heart:
"Go ahead, take a shot in the dark.
Don't hold back anything if you miss--
life is better when you take the risk."

Her heart sank gently.
Its beat broke the still
of awkward silences
and dazed surreal.

His lips traced trails
along the river of her tears.
His whispers calmed
all worries and all fears.

His words left a message on her heart:
"Go ahead, take a shot in the dark.
Don't hold back anything if you miss--
life is better when you take the risk."

She cut out his tongue;
he ripped out her heart.
They tied them up together,
and took a shot in the dark.

We aim to live.
We seek to exist in a greater capacity.

Shed our blood and cry our tears.
**** **** ****.
Lie and steal.
Love and lose.
Betray and keep our selves.

How far we go to say we are alive.
Dig dig dig.
Energy from what we claim as our own.
Friends and lovers to make the steam.

When we are high:
Yell and shout
proclaim and promise
give give give.
My structure is yours.

When we are deep:
Yell and shout
withdraw and dodge
take.
At least I've only lost myself.

How many head for the heavens?
How many survive the lack of air
the awe of epiphany
the fall to crushing ground.

How many stay rooted?
How many survive the nagging thoughts
the what could haves
the weight of compressing regret.

Look at how far we go to say we are alive.

you'll never know
what the light is like
if you hide in the dark
if you lurk in the shadows
if you wait for the right time
because the world keeps rotating
and time will keep on running
and no one will stop for you

you'll never know
what the world is like
if you stay inside your shell
not having courage to come out
and it will be your label
which you will take into your grave
a coward who hides behind comfort
who dares not take a risk

you'll never know
what you are capable of
if you don't open your eyes
and listen to the chirping birds
with your eyes shut and ears plugged
all you see and all you hear
is the nasty, disgusting voice
of the devil and his failures

you'll never know
about the world
and how to live
if you never try
and once you run out of time
regret will eat you alive
leaving you not even bones
like birds pecking through your flesh

and then at your last moments
then you'll realize
how pitiful your life was
not looking anything
oh, how blind had you been!
not listening anything
oh, how deaf had you been!
not doing anything
not trying anything
not living your life
oh, how dumb had you been!
if only...
you'll wish
if only had you been a little brave
and step out from the dark
oh, how little had you known

you'll never know
if regret would be your last emotion
if you don't take this chance
and soar beneath the shadows
you'll never know
