to see my soul
is something you will never say
you ever done.
you were never
deserving of it.

I have seen
my depressed girlfriend
always embrace the dark
may be, she is becoming
a Persephone
waiting...

I'm alive,
                            I am dead inside.
I have met every goal,
                          Every hurt feeling,
For which I strive.
                                    I must hide.
I finally feel whole.  
                    Even caged birds sing.

The night went on
as the madness kept coming.
There was nothing
I could do
to stop it.
Eyes closed,
I prayed long and hard
for the dawn.

—Ron Gavalik

why do you lie,
and then take up my time?
carry me back,
with your comfortable smile?
show me my worth,
walk away with a sigh?
still, i love all your flaws,
i'll remove your bad nights.

Thanks to you,
I made it
And I’m not sure if I’m ever gonna go back
