Thank You Stranger

I was ready to let go
Ready to give up
I met you and nothing changed
Just another note to write
Another goodbye to choke out
But there’s something in you
And it spread to me
And kept me standing on my feet
I hadn’t seen the sun for months
Everything eclipsed by the knife in my gut
I couldn’t shake the things I felt
But you finally got me to yell for help

Seek

I need so badly, what makes me sick
What breaks me down
What makes me weak
 I seek so desperately, what doesn’t exist
What I don’t’ deserve
What I’ll never reach
And yet
I can’t bear to think
Of life without this silly thing
That makes feel 
Like I’m complete
But love, it seems,
I’ll never see

They Control Me

You can never act rationally 
In fear and hate
They show you no sympathy
As they toy with your fate
Shielding you eyes 
From the truth of your life 
Growing off of your cries
Thriving off of your strife
Slowly and softly
Getting under your skin
Till they burn viciously
Like a fiery sin,
That you can never scratch out
And you can never douse down 
No matter how much you shout
You’re still going to drown

Fading Love

How do I expect to forget
When i can still feel your touch.

When i can still hear your voice in the back of my head
"I love you" is all it says.

Your scent still hangs in the air that i breathe. 
You were everything I had, you are everything I need. 

What's left of your love clings sick to my heart
And when it finally dies and my life falls apart,
I can pick up and move on from what never really was.

Because my love for you runs so close to hate,
That your breaking my heart feels more like an escape

Forgotten

Love, do you remember me?
Love. do you remember my eyes?
Can you see it in the back of your mind?
The way they used to sparkle
When they saw you smile

Love, do you remember my smile?
Love, can you still feel the curl of my lips,
on the side of your neck as they give you a kiss
And you traced my skin with your soft fingertips

My love, remember me please

Fall In You

Never failed to save me from my life
Never dared to hold me down
You are love
I fall in you,
And there is no ground
Lose myself in you, 
And there’s no map to drag me out
Live in you, 
And those sorrows are no longer true
Some call it a waste
But that doesn’t matter 
They all live in haste
Point A to B in record time
And they’ve never seen what’s in between 
But I float where all clocks stop
Don’t pull me out
I’m finally alive 
I’m satisfied 
And all I need is you

Liquid Ice

For so long I’ve tread this water
Every once in a while
As I think of what I’m not
A cold current drags me under
Freezing my lungs
Every once in a while 
As I think of your love
Warm currents push me up
Far above these crashing waves
But as this gentle sea turns to the sea of reality 
And warm currents disappear 
This water turns to liquid ice
Rushing down my throat
Filling up my lungs
Pulling me down
Deeper and darker
Till the surface disappears
And not even your love can bring me back up
As I’m doomed to sink
My entire body suffers shock
And there’s nothing left to shake me alive 
My limbs too tired to move against these waves
Every push, every stroke brings no change
The sting of this liquid, frozen harshness 
Will hopefully someday turn these dead arms numb
I close my eyes, embrace the cold
And I don’t even realize
I’ve stopped swimming
I’m descending

Undone

I needed you,
Like a drug through my veins
I was completely dead, 
but my heart still pumped at the sound of your name

You were my reason for being here
Without you, my life became fear

But it seems I've found a second chance
You'll be there if no one else

I try so hard to deny what we'll become
As it always does, love will come undone

Breaks Us Down

He was the ultra romantic kinda guy
Love had never come his way
And now that it was here
He couldn’t get enough
It was the permanent bond between us
I held his heart
And he held mine
And the strongest turbulence could never break us down
But then they came,
The trials of life,
And shook our world
He disappeared before i knew what happened 
I never saw it coming,
But there she was, always at his side
And in his arms
And on his lips
He held her heart
And she held his
And the strongest turbulence could never break them down

Disappoint

You
		who can never do anything right
Always 
		dimming that supposed “shining light”
Screw
		the life you’re forced to live
Up
		in your mind you’ve nothing left to give
You
		don’t have the strength to admit
Just
		what makes this addiction tick
Disappoint
		them all again
