I don't know who you are
And I don't know where you've been
Always out on your own
Always down on your knees

Now you know I need a miracle
A star crossed lover
An arrow in my heart
I need a rainy day in an endless summer
A pocket full of stars

Maybe you're just like me
You see faces in the crowd
Looking down at their feet
Never once make a sound

Now you know I need a miracle
A star crossed lover
An arrow in my heart
I need a rainy day in an endless summer
A pocket full of stars

I need a miracle
A star crossed lover
An arrow in my heart
I need a rainy day in an endless summer
A pocket full of stars
It's your face
Your eyes
That scar
Lose lips
That look
Just any look
That keeps me
Floating on air.
I used to call you
My heart breaker
And my heart healer
Because you were always
So good at breaking my heart
And sewing it back together.
My soul is left
Cold and hungry
The longer you stay away
My hands stay empty
And my heart longs for you
My laugh is gone
Otherwise heartless
My once strong stare
Is now covered with tears
My eyes look with ice
Cutting into happiness like a knife
You're gone and you've left so much pain
Look at the things you've done to me
did you know there
is something worse
than heartbreak?
(c) Brooke Otto
Don't forget the time we shared
When we were together
Don't leave behind all the care
Of when we would dance
Don't forget who I was
But forge who I am
And remember our time

Don't forget the words
We shared together
They fall apart and fly like birds
Since you left
You took it all now set me free
I don't want to have to remember
What we had
Sometimes,
    I
find
               that
words
     just
                           don't
     seem
         to
fit.
        Oh,
                  dear.
I'm just so tired
I can't wait,
I don't want to wait
I want it now.
I want to get away
Away from it all
Set free, be free
Let go.
But I want you there, too.
The problem is,
the dilemma is,
the trouble is,
I just can't seem to find you.
With glimpses I see ogres.
And they are not you.
I just can't seem to find you.
No matter the time spent,
Even with the short glimpses of you,
they fade,
it seems as if you can't be found.
Impossible. Impractical. Useless.
Do you want to be found?
Must it be this hard
to find you?
Centuries spent
walking through this tunnel of thought
the one that curves and spirals
the one that is dim
the one that is cold
the one that just doesn't end.
I want it to end.


I'm just so tired.
Is he insane

Or have I betrayed myself?
When I'm lying awake at night
I think about your eyes
And I find It's no longer hard to sleep
I find that suddenly my soul
It brightens just a little more.
