We are lost in the galaxy of one another,
We have been all our lives.
I've been looking for you,
But it seems that you have no desire to be found.
I'm just waiting to love you,
So here I'll stay,
Floating in oblivion.
"Come I say, Come."

The fire you started in my heart has spread,
It's burning my lungs,
And all I want to do is breathe,
But I guess this is my fault,
I poured the gasoline,
I struck the match,
All you did was drop it,
So, yes this is indeed my fault,
I made choices,
I chose to love you,
I chose love, meaning I chose pain,
I'm like an alcoholic,
I wake in the morning drowning myself in sadness until I'm drunk on depression,
Then, I repeat the next day,
Some days I'm sober, clean,
And even though those days feel magical,
An addiction is an addiction,
And so far, I haven't found something worth breaking the habit.

There is something inside my head, ripping my brain to pieces, scratching at my skull,
My throat is the Sahara desert,
My eyes are Niagara Falls,
My stomach is a sanctuary for butterflies,
My heart is buried alive,
My body is the canvas for a knife and lighter,
My life is forgettable.

The sunlight was draped across my skin like the sheet of a bed,
I looked into his eyes and saw my future,
Suddenly, I could feel him touch my arm,
And when I think back,
I can still hear him ask me "Can I try something new?",
I can still feel him gently press his lips to my right cheek,
I can still hear him tell me he loves me,
I can still feel his hand in mine, his arms around my waist,
I can still feel my love for him in my heart when I think of him,
I can still feel my heart drop the day he left,
But the person I love is dead,
He's someone else now,
He's completely different, yet exactly the same all at once,
Just enough to make me miss a complete stranger,
Just enough to make me love someone I've never met,
Just enough for it to rip me apart when I see him,
I long for him to care for me the way I care for him,
I can't sleep at night, I stay awake in my bed thinking about him telling someone else he loves them,
As I lay staring at the ceiling reading the poem he wrote me, I know he'll always be here, be with me, in my heart, in my memories,
And I know it's time, time I let him go, time I set him free, time I give him the wings to fly out of my thoughts,
Time I let him move on, time I let him be happy, like I know we both deserve to be,
But I just can't.

The sky was so bright that day,
not even the sun could handle it,
The breeze was so gentle,
it was that of a million butterfly kisses,
The tree branches were so barren,
that they looked like the roots,
In the body of the tree,
you carved a heart that held a T,
and that's when you said you loved me,
Together, a year had gone by,
in the blink of an eye,
time really does fly,
You brushed the sand,
off the back of my hand,
again on the beach it lands,
As day turns to night,
the sky is still bright,
with the stars in sight,
and our hearts in flight,
We pick each other clean,
like petals of a flower,
As the beach wore our clothes,
we wore one another,
The hum of the music,
in sync with the hum of our bodies,
Side by side we lay,
the ocean slowly sways,
A tear falls from my eyes,
as the hatred within me dies,
And that's when I say,
I love you too.

Weak and broken, lost inside myself,
Scared and alone, basically dead inside,
All these things running through my head,
Who am I? Why am I here? Why am I alive?
Am I even important? To anyone? To anything?
I struggled to find the answer,
Slowly along the way, drowning my demons,
Fighting my fears, meeting myself,
Simply knowing,
Helping the ones who have been hurt like me,
Forgetting the ones who never wanted me,
Cutting myself free from the grasps of the darkness inside,
But I have a stiffening fear I will be back someday,
As I finally stand in the sun again,
But I'm different now,
And the fear melts away,
As I finally walk free of the chains that once scarred my wrists,
My hollow body, heart, mind, soul, fills once more with joy,
And I stop to think, why now? Why here?
But I realize now, the reason for it,
I am content with myself and who I am...
After everything I've been through,
I'm stronger, stronger as a person,
Along this journey I made a friend,
Myself,
And I am good enough for me, and that's all I ever really needed.

Gouge into my ribcage with your brutal hand,
And mual my beating, bleeding, mutalized heart while you still can,
You might as well,
It swell for you,
Now it's a nothingness that just grew and grew.
