Never Safe
Never Safe I’ve never felt safe, if I may be so bold, No warm shelter from nights so cold If walls were strangers, far or near, This silent place was built from fear. Their smiles were teasing, sharp and sly, Their hug a blade, an unspoken lie. I’ve had to breathe without a sound, Hid my tears, kept pain unbound. At night I whispered...

Premium Member As This River Gives, Rock a Bye, Lyrics
As this river gives, not giving a damn Emptying out the lake of hate, I am This ecosystem dies, but was it alive? Just surviving on dreams that I kept inside Confusion fills me, deep as this hole The sinkhole depths mirror my soul No reflections to see, nothing left to find Just hollowing cries, and thoughts unkind Saturated tears, muddled in fears A...

Dream Me Back
I lay like that — arm above my head, one leg curled in, drowned in the smell of our bedsheet. somehow, I drifted off, and there you were again. I still do this thing where dreams change scenes like home videos. everything happens — we came back to where we wrote the letter with the pen. sorry. I was mean again. I said too much — so you stayed gone for so long. but kiss me...

Look Away
Please look away. Don't stare down the demons behind my eyes. Please don't look at me. Please don't see me. I can't imagine what would happen if we understood. If we looked behind the mask and saw all the pain we've caused; What we did to eachother. Every time you hit me it wasn't the bruises that were the problem....

Forgotten Nostalgia
I’ve tried to fall asleep And forget what we were. What we had doesn’t matter If you’re not here to share the moments. What if I never told you? Would we still be together— Or would our relationship Still fall apart in the storm? Thoughts of you flood my mind, And for some reason, they still hurt. Shouldn’t memories of you make me smile? Why is...
