Honesty is petrified of the dark

I’ve seen stranger things
Lurking in the light, rather than the
**Shadows

{~~~}

I see the warmth
But feel the ice
I cannot touch
A storm to die
Frost grow faster
Shivers along my spine
The ice is breaking
  Cracking in thin lines
I don’t feel
That I’m slowly  f r e e z i n g
Ice in my veins
And I stop b r e a t h i n g
Nothing to touch
      Nothing to h-o-l-d
Why do I live in
A World So Cold?                                                                                        
S­ h a d o w s all around me
That I can feel
I cannot see
If they are real…
There is no end
There is no light
A broken soul
Without a fight
How can I see you
If there is no sun
But I can sense
That you're not the one
I shattered the surface
I killed the spark
I am forever alone
In A World So Dark                                                             ­                                   
Then I saw him
My breath was taken away
What could I do?
What could I say?
How did I miss him?
Was I too blind?
     Too see his perfect look
One of a kind?
I fell for him
But he caught my soul
He held me in his arms
  And made my heart whole
No longer cold and dark
No longer filled with regret
Because he’s in my life
In A World So Perfect.

The words have slipped from my mouth
I hold my breath
As my heart travels south

All I can fear is the beating through my chest
I open my mouth once more
But my mind protests

Death is cupping my cheeks
His icy fingers lurching up my back
But you never speak...

I feel the stars run down my face
Spiraling down
Disappearing back into space

The sickness spreads
I bar my stomach in
As it repeats in my head

The darkness closes in
I stare at you in place
Shadows tighten my skin

Oh bones have never felt so brittle
They snap like my courage
And I have never seemed so little

My soul begins to crack
This is how it feels when I say 'I love you'
And you say  n o t h i n g  back.

You say you like me.
You say you want me.
But-
You don't want to make a commitment.
Then that girl
The one I called my best friend.
She likes you
But it's okay
She can flirt with you
"I guess."
She can go ahead and claim you.
"You can't really do anything because you two aren't dating.
I can flirt with him as much as I want."
She can just spit that in my face.
And it's okay.
Oh this salt has never burned such open wounds.
Why don't you just drag a knife down my back.
So I'm just sitting here tearing myself apart.
The tears are running down my face
I have no one to turn to but you
But how can I talk to you of how I feel?
You do feel the same way about me like I do to you.
I'm not that mad.
I'm just utterly depressed.
Not because of what you think.
It's not because she's flirting with you,
No.
It's because what she said is true
We're not together.
You're not mine

I’m on the graveyard shift again
Quite the keeper of you
Just a light year from us
We’ve been trading our crimes
The smoke in the air
Couldn't hide my shame
I'm running from nothing, no thoughts in my mind
Oh my heart was all black
I took the dust of a long sleepless night
And confessed I tarnished the gold
The wind took your clothes
Just walking the sidewalks all covered in rain
Love got into one of your stories again
The snow blowing ‘round your hands
While we ache to come home somehow
We watched her smoking autumn in the street
Words mean more at night
From the corners of my room
Please read them by the light of the moon
I'm a shot through the dark scaring the crows
I wish I could leave my bones and my skin
I’ll let my hunger take me there
Lonely is a sick hound digging for bones
If it weren't for second chances, we'd all be alone
They all know I’m a liar
They just laugh wickedly as I burn her down
And those broken-hearted lovers
They got nothing on me
She's a half-written poem
Spread out across the Great Divide
The dark had wooden teeth that broke up the thin air
And I swallowed the sun and screamed and wailed
When we were just larkspur and leaves
Back when we were buried jewels ‘neath the trees
And all fire and flames took all we trust
We were all silver and stone
And I traded all my thoughts in
For an hour of sleep in the snow
Sweet morphine curls a smile when the sadness hits
She's whispering so softly I can hear it all
Won't you come to my house tonight
I got this window that looks out to Orion
The Universe is wounded beautiful
I sent her my warmth and my silence
Lit up every campfire I found out in the dark
I quit counting stars that night in the cold
Kiss me so I remember how
We'll turn these sorrows into strangers
Learned the language of the Mockingbird
She took and twisted all my words
With winter trees and hungry wolves
In your past like a lover can be drowning water
Walking proud and lonesome now
Oh I'm yearning for the pack
Broken bottles shine just like stars
Seeing those golden oaks turn to timber
The daughter of the Northern Lights
Finds my face with her fingertips
Now we are rust coloured stones.
You’ll love her till it all goes dark
Come undone under the lion’s thorns
And I’m saving all my sleep for another life
Wished I could follow a hidden moon eight stories high.
Will we ever fall?

Ah what a shame
This stolen song was never meant to last

~The Dragon Prince

I hate that I love you, but you don't love me.

{~~~}

With every throbbing moment
I can hear you sing
Don't sing as loud as my heart please
I've been chasing my tail
The space between has never been so daunting
Let me close it
Zip Zip
The colours
Dripping off voices
Sweet and Salty
Come back as you were
Like how you are in my head
I'll sing with you
To the silver
Awhoooooo
You say ice had lists
Fire had regrets
What remains of littered bones
Break
Break
Snap like little bones please
You don't know how lovely you are
Can you answer me in the dark then?
Fade like my sorrow
Rush back to the start
The start of loving
Back to when I had taken a drink
Of youthful water
It tastes like metal
Metal and blood
Dragon scales
Night prevails
Black and white wings
Creaked with wood
Cracked with suffer
Come up and tell me
What do you hear?
Sweet
or
Salty?

Oh
This is how I feel when I'm with you
You are my Drug
