"all For My Love"

Standing in the sunlight Shadows of past fatalities dance upon the walls Of a love and a 
life forgotten Seemingly meaningless to all And of the things in the past They are all 
of useless information To forgot and just move on Is such a high expectation For the 
past is unreal The pain; seeping into the skin Searching for a reason to march on And 
forget about what has been Scars cut through broken layers Reminders of helplessness and 
guilt Like tanks of toxic acid That have tipped over and spilled Draining the evil from 
within my body Spilling out of my veins Bleeding myself of the loneliness And of all 
life's unnecessary pains Cutting deep into my arms Watching the red waters flow Making. 
my breathing unsteady As my vision begins to go... Towards a light at the end of a 
tunnel But stumbling on a rock under my feet Falling onto jagged cement Making the open 
gashes even more deep The pieces of dirt that enter my wounds Are the infections 
draining me of life Working their way into my bloodstream From the numbness of my cold 
knife Shutting off the flow to my brain I have lost all of my feeling Slicing with a 
piece of broken glass Is now the only way I know of dealing Running out of room to cut I 
trace where I have already been Cutting in even deeper Into what use to be my skin Tears 
flood down my face But yet, I feel nothing at all I have grown to love this pain. 
I bring myself As my heart rate starts to fall I shove the glass down deep into my arm 
And when when I strike my vein The blood trickles down my arm But still I feel no pain 
Stains begin to form on my bed Red from all of my blood Searching for anything to push 
me back to how I was For purity as white as a dove But it's too late now Because I've 
lost all reason to hope And as my face turns white and pale I mumble "All for my love"

Next To Me

You've been there for me when others refused when i thought hope was gone you helped me 
through you gave me your heart and held my hand tight never once did you let go of me 
you gave me all your mighty words can't express what i feel in my heart your love has 
surrounded me right from the start. I'd do anything for you if you needed me there i go 
running to your side if you needed someone who cared you'r a really special person and 
an inspiration to me you made me what iam today. And what to be if it would'nt have been 
for you i would'nt be the person iam you'r motivated me too keep going because of you i 
can your one of those people my mind wont forget i'll keep you in my heart im not 
letting you go yet although we move on and time passes us by the memories we had share 
togeather will never ever die i'll hold fast to the memories. And all of what has past 
i'll think about all of the time we had togeather and try to make it last i owe so much 
to you for what you've done for me the beauty of one person i have come to see you've 
opened my heart and pushed me to go on you've made my life complet you've given me a 
home every night i thank god for blessing me with you your one of my guardion angles 
sent to walk me through. Although you look like a regular person i swear sometimes i see 
a beautiful heavenly angel standing next to me

Let Me Know

Im looking at the stars as they fill up the night sky i find myself thinking of you and 
tears fill up my eyes how could i have been so worng why did i let you go but i know 
it's too late now but i need for you to know you'r all i think about now i cant do 
anything without you on my mind as soon as i think of something elsei relate it to you 
everything i miss about you i miss everything we did together i miss everything we'd do 
i miss the things we told each other. I overall miss you and now i can't forget all 
those nights we spent up late just to hear you talking just to can you, to say your name 
i love you so much i would have done anything you ask me too you were my whole world you 
where the thing that completed my life. As soon as i let you go i just wanted to die i 
didnt relize how good i had it untill the nights are allways long all i had was love for 
you more than you could ever care more i could show i know she says she loves you it 
mocks me in my dreams but she does'nt know what love is she does'nt know what love means 
i know i hardly showed you how much i relly cared buti'd never felt this way befor. I 
admit that i was scared if i could go back in time i never would have let you go i still 
love you now just as much as i did then. I want you back i need you back in my arms 
again if there's anything i can do anything at all for a second chance with you now 
please just let me know.
