sometimes
i feel like maybe
i was born in the
wrong body, as
if maybe something
went wrong in customs
and i'm merely a lost
item in the wrong
airport.

Call me crazy but
I'm afraid of saying the word "Goodbye"
Because I'm so afraid the person would take it literally
And they'd leave forever and ever.
That that "goodbye" would be the last thing I say
Before she jumps of the building or
He decides to be heroic and save someone in need.
And they die.

Call me crazy but
I'm afraid of making promises because
How much it would **** if
Someone made a promise to get back to you safely
And he or she never did.
You'd just be left in anger and desperation,
Wondering why the hell
They never kept that last promise
Before they died.

Call me crazy but
I'm afraid of saying "I love you".
I mean like, how many movies have we watched where
Two people exchange "I love you"s
And it becomes their last words and it gets
Etched permanently into the living one's mind while the other one

Dies.
Watching too much TV again...

Does a map
That leads to treasure
Want to be found
Despite the danger?
With the knowledge
One might not make it,
Would you not rather
Save her?
A simple trip to the store...
Dizzy,
Pressure in my ears,
Chest pains set in,
Body goes numb.
I lose all concentration,
Forgot what I'm doing,
Why am i here?
Scared,
Lost,
Confused...
Panic sets in.
I feel as if I'm trapped,
No way out.
Running,
Crying.
It’s not you,
It’s who I am.
I love you
And apologize.
This is the life,
Of being with me.
Are you ready?
That was mild.
Be prepared,
Or leave now.
Living with panic…
And anxiety,
Is a constant struggle…
A daily battle.
I am drained now,
Lay me down
So I can recover.
Single tear rolls over my cheek
Trying to catch my breath
I think, how silly...
You must think I've lost it.
Snap back to reality,
Jump up,
Move on.
Until the next episode.

With every heartbeat comes a thought
Which reminds me that an empty space in my head
Still lacks the light of your soul
The one that blinds if caught
And it comes from the warmness that shines from your core
It knows its way through my heart
Like a warrior knows his enemy at war
Then it paralyzes my mind with the idea of your love
That invades my being
With every single blood drop,
That travels through the maze of life;
The life that looks so easy but is too flawed.
Like the love we share
It hurts while seeming oh! So fair
But I can't deny this fraud
That held me captivated in you
Not able to escape from what you call yours
So please just tell me
And save me from what is so sore
Are we in love or at war?

You are my escapade,
You are my greatest fear,
You are my sweetest lie,
The one I can never have.

Dangerous as fire,
Soft and mild as water,
Hot like ice and snow,
Cold like scorching sun.

Tell me,
How can I stop this?
What can I do?
Where should I go?

Deep inside I know,
This can't be forever,
You'll come and go,
And everything will just fly.

I can't get enough,
Oh you can see it in my eyes,
I can feel it in your arms,
I know this won't last.

I don't know what's in you,
Maybe i'ts with your touch,
This is not enough,
I don't want this kind of love.

See, I'll catch you soon,
I'll be your other wing,
I'll take you to my adventure,
Let me be your another chapter.

Yes, I'm your escapade,
I'm your greatest myth,
I'm your sweetest fiction,
The one you always have.
I know you're feeling quite hollow like a shell, housing nothing but empty promises and worn out cliches
Your mind is blown when you find yourself freezing to death on top of a white horse drawn carriage
Your insides quivering with rejection, self esteem collapsing in minutes
You recited the same fairy tale for each lover, exact same words, exact same gestures
Only to have your perfectly planned out routine crumble to pieces before your eyes
A girl, looking nothing like a princess, sees through the arrogance you deflect into the air around you
She's shattering the glass slippers you surplus in your closet
And shredding the red roses you grow in your enchanted garden
She's poisoning an apple to eradicate your self worth and bring you back down to earth
Prince Charming is fictional and you my dear
Are irrelevant
