Why

The clock ticks loud and clear,
It's like a pounding in my head,
Making me re-live what just happened,
As if once somehow wasn't enough.

I look out the window at the night sky,
Still and black; I can easily relate to that,
Somehow the still of the night soothes me,
Knowing you are out there; breathing the same air.

Each Time

Each time you hurt me,
I still come back for me,
It's like i need the pain,
So I can feel you know i exist.

Each time we get close,
You push me away with your actions,
It's always one girl or another,
Why can't I just be enough for you.

Each time you look at me,
I want to believe what you say,
I could melt in your eyes,
If only you felt the same.

Each time we touch,
I get shivers down my spine,
I know it's the calm before the storm,
Before this heart bursts in two.

Each time we keep each others company,
Sparks start to fly,
Then you leave and go back to her,
Leaving me to think I imagined it all.

Each time you hurt me,
I still come back for me,
It's like i need the pain,
So I can feel you know i exist.

Feelings

Feelings bring nothing but heart ache and pain,
When asked how you feel the automatic “okay” comes out,
You’ve got to wonder if emotions are worth the strain,
You’ve become that good at lying, you never leave anyone in doubt.

When that one real thing leaves your life,
Pain through the numbness is the only way you know you’re alive,
Your heart has been ripped open and all eyes can see the knife,
Anyone thing could push you to that final dive.
