Crush

i am just a face on the street 
so invisible so discreet
you pass by me every day 
and i await words you'll never say 
not one single hello is uttered 
yet still i melt like butter 
every tlime i see you 
i think of what i should do 
i should smile, say hello 
but every single time i choke 
my tongue turns into one big knot 
and i cant manage a single thought 
if you could read my mind 
you would laugh at what you'd find
i haven't had a crush in a long while 
yet every time i see your smile 
it takes me back to middle school 
even though i was so cool
i had trouble talking to guys 
so this is no surprise

Rage

the fog fills my head
thick and bright red
i have to get out or i'll go mad
i have to get out or it'll be bad
i punch walls scream and yell
but still i'm trapped in this hell
i wait for it to fade
but it just won't go away
i can't get out of this rage
i just want to turn the page
but this fog won't let me 
i can't breathe i can't see
tears well up n my eyes
but it does no good to cry 
finally it's gone away 
hidden for another day

When You Can'T Forget

she wanted to remember 
he wanted to forget
the good times they had 
the day that they met

because now it's over
dead and gone 
and it's a shame
that it didnt last long

seventeen years 
all thrown away
just because
one september day

he says he'd do anything 
just to get her back
and he's so distraught 
he can't face the facts

and when he can't handle it 
there's a bottle sitting on the shelf 
everyone asks why
why do this to yourself

he doesn't get mad
he looks them straight in the eye
and says simply 
because she didn't die

you see to him she's still alive
the sound of her laugh
memories of her smile
all come crashing back

along with the sight of her 
sitting in the tub
laying lifeless
covered in her blood
