Quietly 
Without warning
It starts to rise
Like a ghost
It seeks your demise

In chest
Of peaceful being
It starts to boil
Sending her
Over the edge

through Lung
Unease is sung
By overthought Whispers
In brutal mind
The truth unwinds
No sense can...

I just don't know what to say
I swore i was going to be better than yesterday

Why must I be the one working all hours of the day?

Constantly filling my drawers up with these clothes called thoughts?

Like now my human...

Not to stay nor to leave.
Don't you understand seeing you smiling ear to ear, 
since I have said something stupid? 
I overthought once and once more? 
Weren't you grinnning ?
Grinning because I was funny? 
Grinning...

Each of us live for the moment
As none are promised time
Not knowing which is our last
We make choices with that in mind

In life we bathe in beauty
Often to drown in sorrow

A mountain moved and climbed
A thousand games of hide & seek
Before I’d ever find
The answer to the question
All-knowing, holy truth
Will I ever get over what happened
Will I ever stop loving...

Raindrops pelted against the window, rolling down the paned glass like tears,
Not unlike the way tears were rolling down my pained face,
The sky was crying with me,
As the plants drowned in the rain,
It felt like...

now im overanalyzing again
playing out dumb scenarios
that would never happen in real life
thinking far too much about other people
people who dont think about me
it’s stupid wasting my energy on them

Come to haunt me in the night
Wasn't the pain...
