It has been a month since you left.
Things for me didn’t change.
Your keys are still on the coffee table
The ring won’t move from the desk.

But in the garden, our garden, there is something strange.
I keep watering the bushes, I swear.
But those plants, they miss you
Yes! They miss you

They miss the way you sang to them
They miss your delicate touch
They miss your cheerful laughter and your warm smile
The silly dance you made every once in a while

Or your eyes
your tender, bright eyes.
These plants, they miss you.
Not I.

I slowly let my walls down as I get closer to you.
I reach of your hand. You hold me tight.
I hear you breathing heavily as your lips taste mine
Feeling your touch reminds me that I’m alive.
That everything will be alright
Your warm breath surrounds my neck. You make me feel safe
I cry in your arms. Hoping this will last.
It’s been a long time since I last smiled
You pull me close enough to hear your heartbeat.
Slow and calm, slow and calm
I look at the clock
With your gentle hand you turn my head. Touching my cheeks
Making me blush
We stay quiet. There’s no sound.
The deepness in your eyes lets me know you’re not looking at me.
But at my soul
You open your mouth:
"We are timeless baby, this moment will always last.
Don’t look at the clock, you'll lose your mind. We are frozen in time
It stopped ticking a while ago. When my eyes first met your smile"

I climb my way to your ear and whisper:
"Please, let’s be together forever."
Looking at me you smiled forever and ever you said
Forever and ever.. I’ll stay.

Stare at that person in the mirror
Tell me, what do you see?
I see your eyes crying
I see your lips lying

Stare, but look closer into your skin
Look at yourself and try not to scream
Your smile I'm not buying
I feel your hopes dying

Stare and look past agaist your tears
Open your eyes, realize you're what you fear
Youre running out of breath, stop, you can't see clear
Because of the self-hatred that has always been here

That pain that forever seems near
Stare now
For once
Listen to your own screams

In my room alone I cry
with a razor in my hand
sheets are all covered in blood
while I wait for him to come back home
people call me names for cutting my skin through
but.. don't they too?
Don't they keep everything inside?
Don't they cry on their own all night?
Aren't they scared of silence too?
Aren't they running from the truth?
Hiding their pain with a mask..
Doing favors like if it was a task..
you are a hypocrite
that's what you are
I may cut myself
but at least I'm alive

Let me take you to a place where the sun is shining.
Where there is no misery or agony.
Let me guide you home and get you out of this darkness.
Take my hand, I’ll hold you close.

Smile.

Come here, let's sit on our own.
There is nothing you should fear.
I swear I'll dry your tears.
Open your eyes, you're not alone.

We’re together in this.
I’ll scare your demons away, infect them with my light.
I’ll be there to catch you when you fall apart.
I’ll end your fright.

Laugh.

See the colors all around.
See the moonlight, see the stars.
Hear the silence, hear my voice
Let it be your only thought

Open your heart.
I'm coming in
I'm cleaning everything
Let yourself be free

I promise I won't ever hurt you
I’ll be your hope,
Your light
Your savior

I’ll pick up the pieces of your broken heart,
Glue them back together
I’ll keep them safe inside.
Let me keep you warm at night

I promise I wont let you down
Hush
Turn the lights back on
Feel my touch.

Take a deep breath, smell the flowers
enjoy the silence.
Lets lay here just a few seconds
Because there's no anger or violence

No pain or blood.
Can we stay here for hours?
I’ll wipe out every sign of pain you’ve ever had
I’ll end the sorrow that’s in your heart

Let me take you to a place where the sun is shining
Follow me.
Where there is no misery or agony
We’ll run forever

Let me guide you home and get you out of this darkness
Lets hide together, no one will find us. Not now or never.
See the moonlight, see the stars
See the raindrops as they fall

Hear the silence, hear my voice
Take my hand I’ll hold you close
Feel the wind, feel the peace
Feel the tears as they dry on your cheek

Keep on going, you're strong enough
Look at my smile
Listen to my words
I promise I wont let you down

Rest in heaven forevermore
blue eyed princess that I adore

For I shall stay in this kingdom of night,
praying, hoping you will find the light.

Little girl that has my love,
how are things in heaven above?

Can you see my soul breaking?
Can't you hear my heart tore?

Darling, I need you,
I miss you so.

Sweet angel, just say why.
Why did you have to say goodbye?

Cheers to the lonely, the broken, the sad
cheers because always you’ll live in my heart.

I pray for the outcasts, the tear in their eyes
I pray for you to stand up from the ground.

The flame that has burnt both your heart and your hands
soon will be gone, leaving only a scar.

For you there’s no limit, not even the sky.
I know there’s a dreamer in the back of your mind.

Cheers to the fallen, the sick and the “bad”
Cheers for standing against the crowd.

Long live the hurt and the warriors of life,
the soldiers that never gave up the fight

I offer my prayers, for you to find a light.
Plead with me if you're willing to take my advice:

Hold on to your faith, fly above the ground
falling and hurting but not looking back.

I pray for you to hear my voice through the night
I pray for you to find peace in your heart

— The End —
