Show me his face,
and you'll see that I'll cry.
Show me his love,
and I'll show you a *l i e
They say lies are sweet, and the truth is so bitter.
But the truth is, the lie is a far heavier hitter.

Physics:                                                         ­      Love:
        It's not the fall that kills                          It's not falling in love that kills
             The fall is actually                                          The fall is actually
                 exhilarating                                                     ­    thrilling
                 invigorating                                                     ­ intoxicating  
                 breathtaking                                                     ­  vitalizing
         it's when you've finally                                    it's when you've finally
               hit the ground                                                  reached the end
                that kills you                                                     that kills you.
if there's one thing I've learned from physics that can be poetic...

A painting may be a thousand words
but a thousand paintings can't paint her
A flower living off her own sunlight
A broken mirror that reflects inner beauty

Now all I've got are photos
Some sepia, digital, black and white
Though the colours don't really matter
Because my heart is black and blue

The memory in my camera
Is smaller than my memory of you
I remember everything that you do
And I'll never delete it.

Now, you're just in a picture frame,
And I need a new frame of mind.
Another note left in the hallways.
There must be a poet on the loose.

Lost
Looking for you at any
Cost
Waiting for an
Opportunity to show itself
But now I'm just putting my dreams on the shelf

I'm a time bomb
Waiting to explode
The end
At the end of the road.
The fuse that leads to the dynamite
The visible kid who tries to stay outta sight

And the world shatters around me,
Dust and glass surround me,
Darkness extends it's embrace,
As I lie in my resting place...
If you can't think of anything,
express yourself.

I may not have laser vision,
But everything I see soon dies.
I may not have inhuman strength,
But I can still break hearts.
I may not have the ability to fly,
But I can soar away from my problems.
I may not be invincible,
But I can ignore everything in my fortress of solitude.


But I do have a weakness.
And that weakness is you.
Found a crumpled note on the floor.
Put the contents here for all to see.

Needing is one thing,
*but getting is another.
A problem with crushes,
hunger,
poverty,
and many other problems.
All of which have a ***lack*** of something.

"I'm a weak tower in a flat field,
battling the elements
without a single tree to protect me!"

"Well, maybe you should've
planted more seeds"
I may not be Chinese or Hebrew,
but I can make a proverb.
