Take One More Breath

My bedroom walls are closing in
The white paint seems to taunt me as I wonder how to escape
The posters on my wall no longer offer comfort but repetition
As the paper thin eyes staring down on me cause more confusion

Fool for waiting and hoping to be accepted
Fool for trying to please those who have no limitation on their desires
Fool for chasing down a path that doesnt exist
Fool for letting others take away your dreams

Sunlight flickers past the curtain as heat fills the air
Stepping outside may lead to the end
Searching for answers that could stay hidden forever
But I choose to breathe
I choose to live

Thank You Laura

Been just over a year since my trip of dreams
Travelling across our country, seeing every beauty of the land
Swooping through mountains of snow and looking down upon valleys below
Lost yet overwhelmed with excitement, not knowing where I would go

In Victoria is where I met you
Cooped up in a little hostel where you and Katie could barely fit through the door
As you carried a house in your bag ready for a camping adventure
Only to spend time together for a few days but ones that mean more than words could say

As I opened up with stories to show my life in scattered pieces
Your generous and honest heart worked to help sew me back up
You believed in everything I could be when I did not know how
You pushed me to fight and strive for more because you saw that inside of me

The strength I saw our friendship grow in only a matter of hours is something so special
It gives me meaning and purpose every day I feel down because I know kindness exists
People may hide to show it when they feel victim but there’s goodness in all of us
You took every moment you had to breathe that compassion, and I will never forget you

You were an amazing lady
And I’ll miss you
Thank you so much Laura.

Dream With Me

I stumbled upon you..
Struggling to flutter
You reached out to be touched
Hoping to be caught
Living out dreams

Left with an empty hole
I waited to be loved
Smiled at with pride
Held forever through the night

Lying in bed eyes closed shut
Feeling our own pulse beat to sleep
Close enough to know you lie safe
My heart beside you in any place
Angel fly through every dream
Goodnight sweetheart

Shade the Light Now

I feel it
I feel it too
Running out of things that I could do

Too many things falling over me
Too many reasons that I cannot sleep
But I fall to you
I dont know where you are or what you do
It comes true
I fall further beneath you

My life spins around
Its going down
So many times I cant touch the ground
But I feel the sound
My hearts breaking down

Theres not much left too fight
Too many feelings inside
I cant let them hide
You know that Im right

So I pack up and leave
Theres not much to say
It doesnt seem right
But neither do you

All of these lies
The pain that I hide
Might haunt me till I die
But you will too

No words exist
My fingertips
Held on the door
Like never before

Im trapped here with you
Left behind you and I
I dont know you
Left behind you and I
I feel it too

Its hard to live here with you
No more words that feed the fuel
I dont exist because of you
When you dont exist I might not too

Shade the light
Shade the light
Shade the light
Say goodnight
