Count the shadows
don't sleep
wolves eyes hidden
in the cloth of sheep

count the shadows
don't blink
all that is risen
has begun to sink

count the shadows
don't run
the dark of the moon
no promise of sun

count the shadows
don't speak
they eat your fear
feed on the weak

count the shadows
don't scream
the nightmare shall
rip through your dream

count the shadows
don't be afraid
they count on you
to see what darkness they've made

I'm not ready to die
please
I haven't found true love
I haven't righted my wrongs
I don't want to leave alone
not just memories left behind
please
what will they think?
I'm too young
oh this is tragic
I can't handle such judgement
no
Don't do this
I want to live so bad
let me live
I'll do anything
this can't be my path
this isn't me
it's a mistake

can you just **** my brains out
and pretend to love me?
I'd greatly appreciate the distraction
the feeling of being wanted
your affection
DEVOUR ME PLEASE
make me feel
anything

anything but this brokeness
this twisted ****

do anything you want to me
just need me
need me
need me
need me

**** the pain away
till I'm numb
till I bleed
till words ceast to exist

cause I can't stand these thoughts
**** me into oblivion

I don't want to care anymore
I don't care anymore

how can you cause me so much pain?
it's almost been a year now
so much has changed
your name rarely passes my lips
but I am always dreaming about you
my last thought of the night
my first thought when I wake

always


you said always..

the weight of my burdens
prayers of them being lifted
the depth of my scars
stories turned into glorification
I am unworthy of your name
I've cursed you and forsaken you
I tried to fight it all on my own
only to be shown this battle
was one of many -
a war against myself
pushing away your open arms
please God
forgive me for being so foolish
I know you can change this
this empty feeling
praise you and your hand
so graciously healing
I am so undeserving
and yet you love me
all of me
the indistinct grey matter of nothing
my dark
and because of you
my light

I do not control my mind

my mind controls me.

I am simply a vessel,
a container for rage
fear
a subject to test

I do not control my mind

my mind controls me.

dive down deeper then deep
fall
fa-fa-fa-fall


embrace the impact

crash of
your body
            and
                   the water
                           the surge of bubbles
                         the mountains of ripples

gulp
gasp
grab for air

the water turns to fire
in your lungs

fading
into the black
of the sea

take me away
tuck me under the grains of sand
burry my soul

the innocence

of the intial jump
the first foot off the ledge
