Everything was perfect, but now she’s walking backwards. She’s walking away. She smells like cigarettes, she's fading away. Too fast and too slow, I’m stuck in the shadow, Can’t escape the shade I’m trapped, I can’t help, she’s on the go now. Way too fast and way too slow. Somebody save her— I can’t escape the shade anymore.

Way too fast
Our love is a ghost lurking among the shadows pouncing about in the darkness of my mind I knew you were special but I never knew the inner workings of your soul would intertwine themselves between the deepest places of my mind These days I only see you in the dark your face is a scar only to be recovered in the early hours of the quiet morning I can't take the silence because as soon as the quiet starts the voices begin they are deafening your voice is on repeat I toss and I turn but I cannot shake the feeling of your body laying close to mine tears stream down my face for no reason at all it's been months your gone so why are you still here? our love is a ghost my life has become a never ending haunting an old home movie that runs on repeat I've missed the quiet since the day I met you in the darkest of moments I find myself dreaming we never crosses lines at all what a sick turn of events our love turned to nightmares and the dream is that we never even existed - you cut too deep

Shadows
Lying on the edge of the world in the middle of your bed I swear I feel infinite. Baby, Please, can we stay like this forever? Looking in your eyes has me going crazy. I trace the freckles on your face and run my hands through the wet curls laying on your head. With tangled fingers, shimmered minds and glowing hearts. I never knew love could feel like this. Like the whole world stops spinning just so me and you can pause and dance. My life has begun to feel like a movie ever since I found my place on your arm. I can see the light leaks of old film just looking at your soft face. Oh love, I find myself having to refrain from taking you far away to an old hillside town, I don't mean to be selfish but oh god how I wish you were all mine. my brown eyed baby, no one will ever compare to the radiance you have shown this vacant soul. Amour Amour my darling.

Tangled Fingers
Everyday I reserve a moment to picture you to imagine us to feel your heart which I know well is still embedded into my own I'm aware these few moments of my day can lead to nothing but troubles, & heartache because when I open my eyes you're there god knows where & I'm here, nowhere When I stop to think about why I still take my time to think about you I can only come up with the reasoning that I still love you I always will love you even now, six months later after the damage is done after the tears have fallen for so long I'm worried they may have seeped their way into my heart Even with the knowledge of the gut wrenching heart altering pain our love brought into my all dancing and daisy life even past the break, the moment I knew the love of my life was never coming home I would do it all again over & over & over &over again just for a taste of that sensation of us lying barely clothed wrapped in your embrace for just a glimpse of your abysmal brown eyes for a minuscule moment of our epic love story I just thought you should know there's never regrets in this hallow hallway of my heart only stubborn love that grasps at a chance for one more try

I Would Do It All Again
I'm Just Thinking, Late night drinking. I'm just thinking, late night drinking Thoughts are hazy, and hazardous Things are unclear to me, foggy I can't see, a total lost of vision, but why tonight, its the liquor, the alcohol, it's consumes me, it's takes over my every thought and decisions, and Precision My brain is Clogged by this liquor, it's like my mind is slowly losing oxygen, I'm boxed in, it's tight, it's a fight with all my might, but as I pour myself another drink, I think................. It's can't be that bad right? What's wrong with a  alcohol poisoning? It takes the pain away temporarily, and it's help sleep you at night, and you know how hard it is for you to sleep at night! **** am I talking to myself again?  Naw I can't  be, but I just answer my question lol! Maybe I had to few to many, and there's  plenty of liquor left in my cup, I can't let it go to waste .......... So I can drink more and more and more and more!

The Drunken Poet
Sometimes my memories sneak out of my eyes and roll down my cheeks These prisoners always find a way to escape, When tension reaches its peak Off into the night Where everything I invision becomes bleak Sometimes my mind doesn't follow my footsteps and leaves my heart hollow These prisoners derive themselves out of feelings that were ever so potent But now.. I realize what chances are overlooked when words remain unspoken . -Tamera Brown
