Truth

The truth is
I'm scared
Because I've never known
A life without you
I have no one to fill that void
No one to love me
I'm scared
Because you're actually leaving me
How can you leave me?
The truth is
It's for the best
And although
Every single day without you
Will hurt me
I will pull through
The scary part is..
Someday,
I might forget you
And the truth is
I don't want to

You, Selfish You.

I'm not even shocked
I don't even care
I'm really not surprised to see you not here
I knew you would leave
Just like the rest
My life goes on without you
My heart still beats in my chest
All I can say
Is I hope someone leaves you too
Just like what you did to me
You, selfish you

How

I sit here alone
Hugging the air
I should be embracing you
But you're no longer here
My arms are empty
My heart is cracked
But our memories are still in my mind
Slowly playing back
We were once so happy
But now I can't stand the pain
Nothing hurts more than you being gone
I just want you here again
You won't come back...
I see that now
You leave me asking
What? Why? How..?

Society

Society told me
To look like a ****
Wear no clothes
And get a bigger ****

Society told me
That I am ugly
Much too hideous
For the public to see

Society told me
That I am worthless
And if I took my own life
I would not be missed

Society told me
That skin and bones look hot
They taught me how to eat
...or rather how to not

Society told me
That I am too fat
Well everyone is beautiful..
So
What kind of world says that?

Midnight was approaching
So I got ready
I had to make sure everything went great
Make sure things were steady

Midnight is here
And I'm waiting
I turn away
As couples are kissing

Midnight came and you weren't there
All the disappointment and hurt, I can't bear
Slowly breaking..
Way to ring in the new year.

What Used To Be Bliss

I remember
All of those lies
"I like you"
"I love you"
"Us, forever"
Makes me wonder
Why we're not together

When things came crashing
The silence
The pain
The late night texts
I remember it again

Everything you've said
I believed them then
"We'll hug"
"We'll kiss"
All that bliss
All that you've done
Are always on my mind
Flowing one by one

Same World

I see the sun set in your eyes
While the sweet moon rises
And for a while,
My problems melt away
And they're gone
As long as I'm in your arms to stay
Under the stars
Where secrets are told
I'm yours for the night
For you to hold
We'll get lost
In another world
When eternity comes
I'll be forever yours
Please never let go
And I will never cease to show
How my heart longs for you
When we are not sharing the same world
