If I knew that you were coming.... If I knew that my time was really ticking. If I knew that an insidious parasite was coming to eat me alive. To **** the marrow from my bones, tell me I was too much as it's fat belly heaved. To whisper sweet nothings in my ear. That I'd find 'I love you' in the putrid ***** of your lies. I've got a 20 dollar bill that says the freezing, ice cold water looks tempting. Walking twenty foot through flames, mad with desire for flesh was on my to do list. There's a line of twelve inch spikes, especially sharpened, just begging for me to lie down. I'd of tightened the ropes that held my wrists to the tracks of the new freight train. Because there are worse things than death. I've dragged my nails along these floorboards to find what remained of me. I've tied what was left into a satin cloth and lowered her into the ground. Worse things than death, is being dead long before you die.

If I knew Id fall in love with you...
I told you all my pain Made you bleed for me I let you go with all my shame I left you in tears It meant nothing to me Still, you made promises of love Kind soul You fell for the wrong girl Wiping tears from your eyes The last kiss of goodbye Don’t you realize I just wanted to see your heart broke The same way they did with mine Love has left me to die

unloved
Your beastly desires were always hidden beneath A calm and cool exterior, hiding truth You waited and hunted me, tracked me And watched me as your intentions stayed aloof, Preparing to at last spring your vicious trap Cleverly laid in the deep woods of passion You are a beast, who stalks this once lush forest And I am your prey, lying dead in trees now ashen

Your life is the ocean And your heart is a wave, Like a dog in the sun I found my peace in your storm, As I sail for days I keep drowning away Would my Sailors forgive me for feeling this way You said, "Hey Mister! Do follow through Let's go and build a house Big enough to fit us two We'll weave a castle there The castle of our dreams My Knight in dining armour And I your blanket queen" Girl you're just like that pretty house With wooden beams."

My heart is in pieces. It’s crumbling. My heart is in pieces. It’s shattering as if it were glass thrown against the ground, as if it were a fine china that had been beat by a hammer. It feels like it can never be put back together.

Times
I made you cry, Way to many times But you keep saying that you're fine And babe.... Am really trying to love you more and hurt you less. Why won't i find a way? I made you cry for a reason i don't get But i can't get it of my chest. So i still don't get why you love me? Am just a bad dream, That won't let you sleep. It's messing with my head Why won't i find a way to love you more and hurt less.

Trying to find a way
Hands all over me Softly carressing all of me Sensations I didn’t know I could feel Is any of this Even real? You lifted me up and laid me down Skin to skin Lips to lips I felt your hands Move down my hips Your eyes so bright and blue Bringing up these feelings So strange and new One night full of bliss Who knew I would have to pay like this A **** Boy That’s all that you are I see that now Just a shooting star One minute You bring me hope and light But you’re always gone Before the end of the night

my heart still breaks each time i think of you tears still form each time you cross my mind why does it still hurt so badly? why can i not get over? i wish i could crawl out of my skin each time i look in the mirror i can still see each part of myself that you loved the most i still see love burning bright in my eyes i wish the fire would ******* die i wish i could stop being if i wasn't me i wouldn't think of you no recollection of any part of the wonder of you i wish i could forget, i wish amnesia would hit why does my heart still beat for you? why would i still do everything you ever asked? why is it so easy to fall in love but so horrible to fall out of? why can't i forget everything i love about you and move on? you've done it easy enough i can still feel my heart breaking even i type each letter i can still feel my heart breaking all i ever really feel anymore is my heart breaking i didn't think it could continue, i thought all the pieces were already shattered

pondering the heart
Beyond the chaos the beauty intertwines. the very essence truly one of a kind. voice of an angel song of a siren. You lure me over, like youre someone to confide in. See from the outside, the battle within. A war in its own right, to pull together and win. That kindred spirit. Turned out to be you. Who i've waited for.. Yet I never knew. You let me wander into this world of your own. To find a home together in this all alone. I'd carry you with me through the rising tide.. You would pull me under with a lies you cannot hide

Her beauty broke my brain. Short hair, ***** blond soft to the touch which is what I longed to do. It is a thing of confusing dimensions but she made my heart stranger then abstract art. The pink and purple petals melted like liquid metal then dripped like pastel paints, diluting the cool blue pool with strange smoky colors that mirrored my pleasurable pain. She crushed my skull on glittering stones before the steps that descend deigning by design to end in my workplace parking lot. Slender figure form with slightly sagging sections, but she was strange and enticing delicious as cake icing and I was oh so hungry. Yellow stained and chipped teeth she was so sickly sweet and addicting like candy **** With her strange personality loving Star Wars fantasies and all those horror movies she stole my dignity and self-control swallowing the remnants of a painfully broken soul.

And worst of all.. It was not these empty screams nor the shards of broken lyrics I belted out... It was the sole simple fact.. that I bled for you I opened up to you I believed you And only you inside and out... I believed you... when you whispered to me Those sugar coated lies Lying under the screaming stars I believed you... when you cuddled close to me and told me it'd be alright That I'll learn to love these scars. And I believed you again and again Over and over Our story that never ends... that I was not broken, just simply bent that I was not shattered, just had a dent that I was not pathetic, just completely spent that I was not crazy, just... well what does it matter now? My tears inked this paper but the thoughts of you turned it into a long vent. My intricately crafted emotions now turned into a disaster not worth a cent. And no matter what I say My future is already clear, written in cement. And I still love you.. I always will Though I shouldn't I relent...

Just Another Love Rant (Pt.2)
If you're a pencil, then I'm the paper, We're perfect together, but not forever. Lean on me, tell me your deepest lies. Show me your true self, what's under that disguise. Spill your secrets, Color me grey Tear off my edges, Mean what you want to say. Fill me up With your darkest thoughts. Leave me stranded, Alone in your room. Let me down With your fancy words, And leave me to my doom. I'll shrivel up over the ages. With your secrets locked inside. But you'll forget me and move on, For the world I have died. Because I existed only for you for your smiles and the pictures you drew. But I guess I was stupid you never even knew how much I truly... Loved You...

Just Ripped Paper
Show me fake love, Lie to me in the face... Kiss me with broken words and hold me in an empty embrace. Love me, Love me not I don't even care. Just remember to buy me some flowers and play with my hair. Compliment me once in a while tell me jokes and make me smile Make me fake promises promise me a place with just the two of us and nothing but empty space. Because love is just an illusion that does nothing but shatter my heart and what we have is a hopeless dream and you'll understand that if you're smart. Just show me fake love, and lie to me in the face... Kiss me with tainted words and break me with grace

Fake Love
I woke up to an empty room. another day of pills and liquor to forget how painful a heart broke is. How it feels like you're burning and freezing at the same time. Swallowing the pills down, I force my self to function. even though I feel like walking on a bed of jagged pieces of my heart that is left brittle and wasn't mine anymore It pumps weakly, desperate for the feeling of warmth and happiness. My heart is yours and you discarded it. Leaving it unwanted on the floor that I used to call a solace from world. You discarded it on the room where you proposed your undying love to me. I chug down bottle after bottle of numbness. trying to drown down your tutting voice that reminds me to take care of my self. Trying to drown all the memories of us with the golden toxic that I stocked up in the cupboard because it's your favorite. I want to tell you that I didn't shed any tears. You would smile at that and said," That's my girl". It hurts that I am not your girl anymore. It hurts that even consuming all the things I wished you would stop using, I still can't hate you for leaving. I still can't hate you after you engrave abandontmend into my tailbone, making my spine cold and heavy with unsecurity and dread. I still can't hate you so I'll hate my self. So I chug and chug again. Swallowing pills upon pills. Over dosing my self with numbness because feeling the pain isn't an option. I've built my life around you and the walls are crumbling and crumbling and crumbling. I'm to ******* afraid that once the numbness is gone i'll be left only as ashes to scatter. Misery is my constant companion these days. I've learned the curve of it's lips kissing the top of my head, remember the sound of it's voice as it soothe me into a state of catatonic disarray and the diability to continue dancing with life. I forgot how to dance with out a partner. I still have not shed any tears for you. Your smile and your laugh keep echoing in my head and I want to scream until i turned into a shade. I wonder If I'm trying to turn my self into the wraith that you always fascinated with. I still wear the ring on my finger. I tried throwing it away but my eyes burns and I do not want to be a promise breaker. Even if my whole body is trembling and my every beat of my heart brings sparks of pain that sears to my body, I will not be a promise breaker. I still wore your ring on my finger. So I chug again and again and again. Until my mind was hazed enough, unable to make the connection of gold to your eyes. To make a connection of white to your teeth. To temporarily ceased to remember you and your stupid hair. To temporarily forget about how it feels like my hearts is being squeezed tight every time I see you anywhere. There's white foam on the corner of my mouth. It reminds me of Hans Christian's Little Mermaid. Of the mermaid's love and how it turned her to foam. So when the morning light comes, I wished for my self to turn into foam instead of days where it is filled with broken bottles, white pills, and the fact that you left me for my sister I wish for me to be strong enough to stab the heart that yearns for you and remove your ring from my finger.

silence hurts more than words.
A time to break is a time to cry A place to cry is a place to express To whom you express is to whom you have a friend The friend of mine is the home of mine Where my home is found is where my way of escape is found My escape is my new life A new life is a new love A new love is my God My God gave me love in the time of need My God has placed my new life in me My God was to whom I escaped My God is the home I seeked My God is where my Friend is found My God is the epitome of my expression My God gave a new tear to share My God broke me: Because He made me new

Run For The Cosmos
Its not hard for me to push my emotions away Because it's so hard for me to show them They're already so deep inside That it doesn't take much They are easily hidden I suffer in silence I don't want anyone to worry about me Im fine Im ok I don't do it anymore Its over I'm fine All lies But its easier for you to hear To think everything is fine

In silence
In a world like this, There is no such thing as bliss. In a world like this, There is nothing to miss. In a word like this, Happiness is often dismissed. In a world like this, I can make a promise. In a world this, You can make a promise.

In A World Like This
Broken and defeated front seat of incompetence depleted Sleep deprived and laid to rest beating and pounding in my chest Evident thoughts run through my mind time seems to be falling behind Speak a word and i shall provoke clinching fists and i have broke Everything turns to an outbreak of rage no more emotion could be bottled up and caged I fall to the floor and I burst out crying all I feel is me slowly dying

Silent Beyond Repair
You broke my heart Leaving it to fall to the ground and shattering from impact. You destroyed me, broke me. And you didn't even care. But that's okay, I'll fix the pieces and put them back together. I'm a fool, For even falling for you.

Heartbroken
I had always frowned upon the thought of being drunk But my God, I hated being sober ****** smirnoff was the key to falling asleep in the arms of my lover The bitter taste of alcohol made me forget about you I never knew the downers in alcohol could make so many memories I was sloppy drunk with my friends laughing until the sun came up And no I didnt want it to end I couldn't find which direction I was supposed to go And I didnt care I just wanted to catch the sunrise in his beautiful eyes And the joy in the laughter of my friends
