Time

I'm counting each minute that passes, every sunrise and sunset
Out of all of my wishes, I wish that we had never met
Because then I wouldn't have to endure all the pain,
I wouldn't have anything to lose, wouldn't have anything to gain
I wouldn't have to count the days until I see you again
Time has never been a good friend,
Teasing me and making me believe that the rips in my heart will never mend
All he has ever told me is that the rules of life will never bend
I wrestle with Time more often than not
So many arguments and regulations have been fought
But today I must surrender, today the fighting must stop
For if I want to be with the one I love, to Time my servitude will reside.

Pain

Slit, slit slit, 
easy flick of the wrist,
Seep down deep
where metal and skin meet
In my dreams
it's never what it seems
"Get over it, 
quit throwing a fit",
they say confused
never knowing what it's like to be used
Pick, pick pick
at the emotions 'til they're slick
with sick devotions
Fight, fight, fight
in the middle of the night
Sweat pouring down my face
My efforts and struggling are nothing but waste
Hiding in these congested jars
are memories that are left in open scars

I Fell In Love

I fell in love with someone who I can never be with
Deep down underneath my heart lies with myths
I just want someone to hold
Not wondering if they'll ever come home

I Envy the Air

I envy the air because I know it will always be closer to you than I'll ever be.
I envy the air because the sound waves from your guitar, it will carry.
I envy the air because it rests on your lips where skin and wind marry.
I envy the air for it dries your tears and with it your sorrows it will bury.
I envy the air for you and it are one and you and I will never be "we".

Him

I haven’t seen him in months
Haven’t talked to him for longer
I want to stop missing him for once
I’m getting weaker and can’t get stronger

I want peace in my heart
I want to be happy with who I am with
My head and my heart are torn apart
My feelings are nothing but a myth

I’m losing my mind and strength 
I’m trying to push forward and make a new life
It’s ruining my mental health
He said he wanted me to someday be his wife

I can’t help but think the one I’m with now is a fling 
Nothing but a mindless, heartless rebound
The memories won’t stop recurring 
Wave of pain crashed and I drowned
