the corn is tall and the leaves fall dirt roads litter with discarded acorns the nights are longer and the sun bids each day goodbye sooner than we wish it to leave the pumpkins fill stands and field the red and cold crowns tops of trees gently let go off their children the leaves
you were right paper is flammable you were right you set me on fire you were wrong because you said it would last you were wrong because it is all gone
there once was an earthquake across a red land it split the surface in two and the blood poured out over the broken place like tears lost in an ocean was the hope of healing
I was stupid; like a blind girl waiting to see the sun I was hopeful; like a blind girl waiting to see the sun I was in the dark; like a blind girl waiting to see the sun I tilted my face to the sky; like a blind girl waiting to see the sun
I regret to hear that your arrival will be delayed That the circumstances weren't right I hope that we can come so some agreement And make adequate accommodations I hope that when you do come That is if you so chose You may perhaps decide to reside Permanently And bring what we may be lacking
There once was a girl And she made herself a shell Wound tight around her body And she met someone she loved so much He was her fuse He kept her in his arms Not in his pocket or in his drawer But close to his heart Where no one could tamper with her
There once was a girl Who lost her mind And she lost her fuse And blew into a million tiny pieces The shrapnel bit into her skin Into her heart and the pain was to much But a boy came along Than looked like a man He had a heart big enough for two Like a jar to hold the broken He kept her together And he said he would never let go
There once was a girl Who found peace after pain Even though she knew She could never be the same She lost her shell But found her life And now she lives A beautiful life
it cracked and broke into, in two, a million tiny pieces the glass that held, that yielded, your beautiful face let go of dreams, the nightmares, you held inside
stars cave in and we all cry is this how you say goodbye?
it is cold in Nowhere the candles are all lost it is dark in Nowhere the moon is on vacation it is peaceful in Nowhere the war is all behind I am trapped in Nowhere don't try to get me out the cage is fake and all the bars
That moment when you boil over And the edges of your vision turns purple And the warmth of you heart, cools The lines in your face deepen and the Smile on your lips fade The happiness extinguished Like a candle And the stone cold impassible mask Sets on your face The lies pour forth like water And truth is but a scam And all the people who said I will be there Are not to be found **** this choice, **** this pain Maybe one day I will be the same
I wish I could dream in purple Its dark cascading color An effortless flow of memory And gentle goodnight kisses Of silent starry wishes And dreams sent to the clouds Of angry methodical voices Who will always take a bow
Butterflies in permanent marker Each with a special name I wish they weren't trapped to my skin Like in a painful cage Maybe one day, with a lighter heart They will fly away And find another home On another girl's heart But for now they are mine Keeping me from making lines An artists kiss to gentle dreams
The dents you made in my perfectly made bed The cracks you left in my China cup The tears your left to fall down my face The dreams you left to be watered
The scars I made along my arms
You left your marks and I left mine But which ones will withstand time
**** it That's all I know That and how To let go Its not a Disney movie With a happy ending If I make it to the end Then I will be happy But for this poor moment I am trapped in a room Forced to make friends With the monster Under my bed Shaking hands Rolling dice Selling souls void of emotion A dark candle with little light I lost this game I lost the race But I wonder who will take my place
I had sixteen candles But just one wish I had lots of friends And nothing to lose I had once chance Just one breath But I used it and now nothing is left
