You Can Fool the Whole World, But Your Eyes, They Never Lie To Me

these feelings
they make me feel distant from all that I am
I don't want love, I just want to care
These feelings, I wish they could be gone forever
I wish I could just get myself back together
As I lie there, falling down,
I ask myself
Can I ever even care?
As I'm breaking apart,
I ask myself 
Do I even care?
I haven't a clue where I am,
Where I should be.
All I know is that it isn't here.
They'll only look for me when I'm gone 
But I get it, I get it
Just another sad soul that they pretend to care about 
why is he only missed when he is gone?
another man with nothing left to gain
Nothing more than a product of all his pain 
Maybe he's just crazy 
Tripping over something on the daily
Drifting in and out of time 
Tossing and turning 
This must be hell
Tripping over his own feet
Falling deeper 
Drifting further away
No one reaches out towards his shaky hands
They don't wanna deal with it
But it's okay
Cause I don't think I wanna deal with it
In my own grave I think I'll stay 
But don't be so scared 
Of the depths of my hell
Loneliness, it fits me all too well 
Melting into her arms, I know I cannot escape
Now I'm face down
Face down again
It's been so long
Since I've ever even cared 
Face down until the end
I don't think I'll ever even care.

Tears Softer Than Shadows

I stood there in the black of night 
My gaze cast towards the sky; 
O'glorious luna, so beautiful you were this Halloween
I stood there
paralyzed,
enchanted
My memories paint a cautionary tale; 
one forever stained in blood
Beneath luna's pale glow, we met as vampires do
Both alive in our coffins 
Feasting in the dead of night,
your eyes gleaming with trickery
I'd begun to experience the depths of your cruelty, and I saw it so vividly; flashing before me all at once.
I'd finally snapped; my sanity was under abduction
After everything we'd been through, the person I saw before me was so foreign to me, so alien..
I swore that you would change again
All I wanted from you was a friend
but you just watched me
diabolical voices echo in my ears
whispering sweet nothings 
stings upon my heart

Her Fingers

your slender fingers
thrust forward
to unite with mine
as sparks began to fly; scattered to the wind
as we stand there
both of us 
so vulnerable
so afraid
yet, there is no hesitation
as I open my heart
and you do the same
For the first time..
In such a long time..
I'm able to gaze into another's eyes
without being ashamed of my own

Untitled

As the end comes to all
It couldn't be anyone but you lying next to me
And while the world caves in, so to does my chest
Our palms drenched in sweat, hastily locked together;
Our shaky hands
The panic is coming on strong now;
I can see it in your eyes
Glistening like stained glass
I see the waves begin to crash down 
Until the end, I'll lay over you
Until the waves cause my back to crumble
And I fall apart
As I always do
