You attempt to make clear that your genius is blatantly obvious yet hard to explain.
I stroll towards the champagne.
"Whats wrong? Am I being too plain?”
Your words hit like a train, causing intolerable pain.
The letters you manage to tie together tend to intoxicate my brain.
But I have promised myself that I would be nothing but honest, even in vain.
So I whisper affectionately to you in order to explain,
"Your words often remind me of acid rain."  
The reasons for your sentences are rarely found down the drain.
Except maybe to precipitate folks a great deal of pain.
Your voice sounds nothing like music

As I lie on my floor today,
My mind makes its way back to yesterday
When your hand reached for mine
As I lay next to you.
You said that you could hear the beat of my heart,
The heart that beats just for you
Your embrace is like a dream
One of those which you wish to never wake from
And through each embrace,
You define love
With a definition so great,
That I never thought possible.

The night is cold
The ground, dressed in a blanket of fresh snow.
She wears a dress, a feeling so new,
And he, a suit, tall and confident he stands.
When their eyes first meet,
Walls are broken
And not a single feeling can hide.
Every single hand holding them back,
Every second guess,
Every fear,
All vanish within the glance.
They were both lost
Within the expectations of the world
But now these walls of confusion have fallen,
And they are left in awe at the freedom they have.
She, so beautiful
He, so handsome
The night, so spectacular
This feeling, so raw.
It has only taken a glance at the windows to their souls
To realize how foolish it was
Trying to hide this feeling,
hide what was always meant to be.

Stop
Tearing me apart
Only to ask why I can't
Put myself back together

We all search for ways that we can escape our realities
A moment of peace far from the hectic lives that we live
We beg for change
A day that won't be like the rest of those meaningless repetitive days

They say to live in the moment
Savor each and every second of every single day
But how is this possible when we walk through life
Without realizing where all our time has gone

As of now we are stuck
When was the last time we enjoyed ourselves
The last time we didn't dread our next step
The last time we smiled and fell in love

We must step back and take time for ourselves
So we can appreciate the values of our lives
And give life as much meaning as it can hold

Life is supposedly the eternal flower
That instantly wilts in your hands.
All of these efforts,
Followed by unexpected outcomes,
Messes with the mind.
The euphoric elements of our childhoods
Slip through the gaps between our fingers,
And we are introduced to reality,
Which we refer to as the things we despise,
And wish to run away from forever.
But no matter how far you run,
Or how deep you dream,
It will always find and catch you
And rid you from your happiness.
