#colder
the world will still turn on it’s axis,
even though you told me you didn’t like my lashes.
it will still turn on its axis when you don’t call me one night.
it will still turn when you stop looking at me as often as you do.
it will still turn when i move on.
when you stop treating me like i’m some pawn.
and even though i’ll feel like the world is ending as i know it, the world will turn on its axis.
i will feel as if the weight of ten suns has been put upon my shoulders.
but one day, maybe not now, but one day; the weight will be lifted from my shoulders.
my life will continue as if it never got colder.
and the world will continue to spin on its axis.

The winds of change are coming soon.
You can already see them starting to affect the moon.
The winds of change make the days shorter and nights colder.
Not that that's a bad thing.
It can make people want to be closer than shoulder to shoulder.
To the trees, the winds of change are like school bus drivers.
the breeze carries their leaves away, drops them safely on the ground, then returns them bright and new when spring rolls back around.
Change can be scary. But not all change is bad.
Just think of the pumpkins and cider and good times to be had.

If the tip of your nose freezes
on the walk home tonight,
embrace the pain.
Don't wish it away.
It just means that
your nerves still have endings
your skin is thick enough
your body isn't pretending
it still gives a f***.

Winter is so much colder when you're alone,
so much colder when you come home to an empty house,
dark, and you've to turn on the lights yourself,
when you know that no one has been waiting for you.
Winter is so much colder then,
when you bring a bottle home, in a black plastic bag,
and sit drinking on your bed, wondering
why the liquid that burns your throat
doesn't warm your heart at all.
Winter is so much colder then,
when you wake up in the middle of the night,
your feet freezing cold, and you know that holding them
in front of the heater will not be any use:
they--and you--need the warmth of somebody's flesh,
need to play hide-and-seek with another pair of toes.
Then, winter is so much colder then, when you're alone.

I'm cold
When the rain comes
But I'll be colder
When it goes
For now I exist
Is the foggy distance
Where the sun never shines
And the music
Never stops playing
And I can never rest
My aching bones
My freezing toes
My red stained nose
There's somewhere in my mind
Where I'm well aware
That this is suicide
But I'm young
And the rain has come
Maybe when it goes
I'll be older
Colder

Gleaming upon ashed cigarettes
the smoke of your calloused lips burning against the back of my throat like hot coals
breathing you into my lungs had never felt so relaxing and painful at the same time
Like magma across your tongue
you swallow me whole
exhaling the negative of what you left over
I am distilled, like water quenching your prudent impurity.
Flicked as if something of disposal
that's when you lay your eyes upon my flesh
Foaming at the mouth in my carnaged disarray
deadened in your pupil
I see my reflection.
Sinking your needles grip into my veins
I feel the ***** of your despair flowing in my blood platelets
Multiplying seeds of hatred in my DNA
This is who I am.
Engulfed in you
serene to your touch
getting colder at the moment
the warmth of your embrace coddles me like a mothers hold
I am helpless.
Warm honey is the color of your eyes
yet, your taste is heroine
nothing like I've ever sunk into
you've shaken me to the core
sweet and deadly
and on the floor.

Lost in space and whine of mind,
Too much to feed this limited time,
Shattered like lightning when it touches pine,
Cage closing in, reflection colder than crime.

I know you're colder
Than ice because around you
I feel numb inside

Colder Still
In my life I have known love, loss, brokenness and betrayal. These things things are but a part of this lively vail. I accepted such things in hopes that I would prevail.
Though I’ve continued wandering through the misty avenues of life..I found only torment hurt and strife. All the while I heard a voice near at hush say...”you’ll grow colder still.”
I stood at many doors, yes doors to other hearts..I continued knocking, only to see them depart. So I stood in grief and began to lose my will...yet I heard the voice louder “you’ll grow colder still.”
As more years passed and people become more vain and conceited, I to my solitude and grief retreated... With my heart and with my will..the voice shouts now in command...”you’ll grow colder still!”

Don't need to hide it.
No need to faking it.
You don't love me like I love you.
No feeling no heart no soul.
The light we shared has turn to darkness.
Colder than ice we are drifting apart.
Choosing to let you go and save my dying heart.
I don't miss the fun we had.
Can't live in a lie.
I am free and i learned love can burn any heart.

Dreaming of what it would be like
to be older
having your hair go grey
and the nights seeming to get colder
Everyone all around
asks you what you want to be
of course
"helpful to society"
but don't forget your dreams
they will stay with you forever
even when things
don't get better
Dreaming of being the first
Dreaming of being the best
Dreaming of having a life with no stress
Silly kids
dreams are
deleted scenes

I feel two lines etched on my face.
One longer than the other.
Feeling a little more colder
each time I step out.
They will lie there,
and dry there,
but never erased.

You found a Diamond, buried in mud
You took it, clean it, embrace it
It shine
You praise it, and it shine more brighter
yet you dazzled
You've grown tired of it sparkle
You left it
Though you left it, it keep shining
yet, it radiation grew cold
Colder by the second
Colder by the day you left it
And a real Diamond won't easily broke
because as it grew colder, it's also becomes harder
more harder than ever since the day you left it
And so does Her heart

Autumn freezes to Winter,
My heart refuses,
to let you go.
Can we stay?
Through the cold to make it to Spring,
keeping eachother warm in the firelight.
It's getting colder,
The fire is freezing slowly,
we can ignite it once again.
We can make it,
Let me lead you,
take my hand and we can go.

The roses aren't as pretty
The sun isn't quite as high
The birds don't sing as sweet of a lullaby
The stars are a little bit faded
The clouds are just a little more gray
And it feels like things won't ever be the same
Heaven got another angel the night you left this world behind
Heaven got a little better the day that it took you away from me
I'm missing you tonight
I'll see you again sometime
For now, I'll close my eyes
And dream of heaven tonight
The beaches aren't as lovely
The sky isn't quite as blue
Still, they're sweetened by the memory of you
The rain is a little bit colder
The fire is never quite as warm
Still, it seems that heaven isn't all that far
Heaven got another angel the night you left this world behind
Heaven got a little better the day that it took you away from me
I'm missing you tonight
I'll see you again sometime
For now, I'll close my eyes
And dream of heaven tonight
I'm spending a little more time now with the things that mean a little bit more
I'm noticing the wonders of this world
I love with a little more hope now
I live with a little more peace
Cause I understand how precious life can be
Heaven got another angel the night you left this world behind
Heaven got a little better the day that it took you away from me
I'm missing you tonight
I'll see you again sometime
For now, I'll close my eyes
And dream of Heaven tonight
