I wish I'd never met you
I wish I'd never heard your name

Has it really been so long,
Since this bridge was burned?

It still seems so fresh
in my mind.

I gaze over the canyon,
Only to see nothing.

I look for you,
Nothing.

It's so hard to get away,
from the edge of this precipice.

Still I gaze,
with just a shimmer of hope.

Why do I keep coming back here?

I need to leave,
I need to live.

But I can't help but wonder,
If I'll see you again.

But I can't stay here,
looking over these ruins

lying on the canyon floor.

I need to realize,
That this bridge is burnt.

That it isn't coming back.

You're not coming back.

I need to leave,
but I don't know where to go.

So I guess I'll be here
waiting on the edge,
of where this bridge used to be.

I see you everyday, the quite girl a million miles away. Head in the clouds or in a book.
I find myself stuck to your hook. And as you pull me to the shore I feel myself sway away.
I'm under your spell. Is this heaven or is it hell?  Your a million miles away. Yet I see you everyday.
A shooting star I cannot catch, the flickering light of my last match.
I can't tell if this is a broken romance. I know you can feel it too. Will our vindication please come through.
I don't want to be the one to utter: I missed you.

as I lay here, dying in your arms,
terrifying thoughts of the afterlife flood my mind.
it seems the devil has his chains around my ankles
slowly dragging me into a deep abyss of perpetual darkness.
my soul is now ascending out of my body
as it is left to rot in a world full of corruption.
you're my last glimpse of life,
i can still feel you pulling me closer.
your last kiss, so passionate,
your last touch, so spiritual.
i lay here, motionless, paralyzed in time,
dying in your arms, so beautifully.

I'm writing letters on my body
All the things that I can't say
So when you find my body
You can finally get my way

Those words will be all the twilight has left
As the sun and the moon kiss the edge

I'm writing letters on my body
To tell and untold story
So when you see all those A's and O's
Please think of me when it snows

Those words will be all the ground has left
As the dirt covers up the message

I'm writing letters on my body
To draw you a map to rescue someone else

Roll me between your
Thumb and finger
Make me your art.
Hang me on your wall.

Maybe I’ll stay.

****** me
Into your pet,
Your tamed raven.
Keep me in your cage.

Maybe I’ll stay.

Let me drown  in-
Soak in-
Suffer through-
Your silence.
Ruin me.

Maybe I’ll stay.
