Every step
An echo
Every breath
Wasn’t sure if it was the last

Walking through
Misery and pain
I catch the tears
Of a fallen night rain

It has been long since
The sky has smiled upon
This barren land
Which I once called home

Trapped
This broken heart
Has forgotten hope
In a falling star

If only I could wish to forget you.

I remember it being not so long ago, when your awkward smile imprinted itself to my memory. I remember when you brushed your hair out of your face, when your eyes told me "well, aren't you something else."

I remember the stories you told me. You told me the story of a little boy who was afraid to grow up. We relived the stories you kept in that scared head of yours and gave them hope for a better ending.

I remember the times you fell on your knees, searching for acceptance. You were always yearning for empathy. You were tired of sympathy. I cleared away the broken glass. I gave you a magic mirror, to show you the goodness you couldn't see in yourself.

I remember the tears that you let me keep. I held you in my arms, in my heart; for yours was a heavy burden I couldn't let you bear alone. I saved you from that anchor you called a soul, even if it meant that I drowned too.

I still keep them to this day.

It wasn't so long ago.

You gave me your heart. I trusted you with mine.



How easily you just threw it away.
i wish i could throw you away too

Don't you worry, dear
The sun will come through.
But don't forget,
That rain is good too.
You have to let yourself be hurt before you can wash away that pain. I hope I remember that too.

Do you know how much it hurts?
To see you everyday. To know you everyday.  
Trying to believe that what we had was real. What we have is real.
I tried to believe in you. Did you know that? I believed in you. I believe in you.
But you of all people. I don't know what I expected. I'm tired of getting hurt.
You've hurt me more than I should've let you. You hurt me.

I loved you. I love you.

And I had to let go. I can't let you go.

I'm sorry. *I'm so sorry.
i can't.

To hope is to catch falling stars.

You wait with open arms.
You are waiting.
Waiting for something.
Waiting for something that you know will be beautiful.

You are waiting for something beautiful.

You wait with your hands spread like butterfly wings.
You are waiting.
Waiting.
Anticipating.
Knowing.
Not knowing.
The Pain
That will burn you alive.

It will burn you.

Till there's nothing left but ashes.

It will burn you.



And set you free.
i have no idea where logic comes from.

You know what they say,
That home is where the heart is?
Mine is where you are.
this is why i'm never home.
i'm just lost, waiting to be found.

Close your eyes
And count to three
Chin up high
And start to breathe

I know you hear
The silent screams
But forget the fear
Inside your dreams

I know you feel
The rain at night
Thus let your heart soar
As thunders roar

I know you taste
Salt falling from your cheeks
Burn away the tears
And then start to peek

I know you smell
Your blood spilled on the floor
Put away the knife
And heal once more

I know it hurts
Inside your head
But you're so much more
Alive than dead

So close your eyes
And count to three
Lift your chin up high
Breathe
i  tried.

I used to fear the dark.

I was afraid of the monsters under my bed.

Then I grew up.

I came to fear the light.

It was just all too bright, all too much.

Then I met you.

I started to believe.

In light, in dark.

In you, in me.

Then suddenly,

You’re gone.

You took the light with you.

And you left me in the dark with

The greatest monster of all.


**Love.

I Am Not

I am not blind
It's just that there is no difference
Between darkness
And light

I am not deaf
It's only that the noise of
Life begone and
Silence is all that's left

Maybe it's better
Rather than
To close your eyes
And shut your ears

To live
Only to
d i e

— The End —
