Don'T Get Attached

Wrapped in the sheets,
Her scent all around me.
I listen to my heart beat,
Wishing my dreams hadn't become reality
Her quiet whispers echo in my ears.
The promises, the lies
The birth of my fears
All started with my one night stand.
Drunken courage, daring approaches
All intent towards a night of no strings
No attachments, no commitment
Been through to much
To get close again
But here we are
I'm tied to you
Forever yours
and as you whispered you love me
and said we'd never part
the only words that came to my lips we're
"what beautiful words for such a cynical heart"
I'm trapped in your lies
But I'm blind, playing off
the pain and fear as butterflies
Don't get attached
It's the repeating mantra
in my head
But I'll go
where I'm lead
Following your voice
like the drug you've become.

Catch Me

There's a hole in my heart
It's where you belong.
You need to be here
But your long gone
Another part missing
I don't know where to start
at fixing these holes
the staples and tape
no longer have a hold
I'm falling again
but not for you
I'm falling for the ignorance
Of giving myself to you
Of letting myself believe
you were different
That instead of letting me fall,
You'd catch me...

Something

I wanna jump into this water. 
Ice cold as can be. 
I wanna fight to breathe against it. 
Until I hit the bottom of this sea. 
Wanting the oxygen, that I've fought to lose so bad. 
Fighting to reach the top, more then I ever have. 
I feel lost in this blackness, choking against the pain. 
My heart beating to fast. 
Trying to find a flame. 
Something to live for, something like you. 
A heat and warmth. 
Something thats finally true.

Alternate Reality

This scream is building on my tongue.
These demons clawing at my throat.
The fire filling up my lungs.
The darkness suffocating my thoughts.
I need an alternate reality.
An escape from my fears.
A way to breathe
I'm smiling for you,
'Cuz you've trained me so well.
I'm laughing instead of crying.
Though i'm crawling out of my skin.
I'm going blind with this pain.
The pain you want me to hide,
To keep contained.
Time to change this up.
So with a smile on my face,
and confidence in my eyes.
I enter my alternate reality
And let my life explode
Let my sweet defeat surround you,
With the lies I built for you.
I'm not who you saw
You wouldn't let me be her
You wanted me without flaw.
But that was never me.
You never knew me.
Never had me.

Never Let Me Go

As they kissed
Heaven filled their minds
It only took a moment
That moment changed their lives
She quickly seperated
Frightened by what she allowed
Someone broke the barrier
Like sun through a cloud
She was scared as hell
Needed to get away
She ran and hid
Hoping never to be found
He was driven by something strong
No completely sure what it was
There was something wrong
She needed to be here in his arms
So he went to find her
And find her he did
She was shocked
That he had found where she hid
She went into his accepting arms
Not as reluctant as she planned
He held her tight
To keep her safe and warm
They both sigh with happiness
Looking in his eyes
She whispers "Never let me go."
As a silent recognition
Of this love bound request
He pulls her even closer
Into his warm chest
They look into each other's eyes
Say goodnight
And forever lay to rest

Depression

I feel like dying
What point in trying?
I’m giving up
My life is about to blowup
It hurts to try 
It’s hard to cry
I hate the time when all is quiet
When I wage my inner riot
I love the cuts that make me forget the pain
But hate how it’s become my only blame
I can’t stand the labels they give
I wish I could just be me and live
This hurts my heart
This Depression is tearing me apart
It is like a disease 
Which hurts me as it will please
It picks at my brain
‘Till I am blinded by pain
I feel it is my time to die
So why try?

Aftershock

She sits in a dark room
Amidst her blood and tears
And she's confused as to why
Her razors can't fight away her fears
This pain is always aware
Setting off instant alarms
But her mind can't stop drifting
and picturing herself in his arms.
What happened to the love they shared
And all her compassion to show that she cared.
She is screaming in agony for no one to see
It is an ache she is not able to flee
It was him.
He caused this change in her.
He was the one,
who made her believe they were in love.
He ripped out her heart.
Tore it in two
All because he found someone new.
She thought he was the one
God she was wrong.
So many cuts from him.
But her blood wasn't worth
What he could never feel
This is what she wants him to see
I love you, She says
Don't say you love me..

Our Secret

I'll make you my secret.
One I've never told before.
You made me love you
Forever more and more.
I'll never say
How wonderful you are
How you hold me
and make me feel
How your kisses 
make me shiver.
How your voice makes
me feel like I'm in a dream
How everything you do
Simple it may seem
Makes me extremely happy.
So I'll keep you a secret
I won't tell a soul
Because in the end i realize
I'm the only one that needs to know.

My Postcards

Life’s heading somewhere,
Still not sure where.
I’ll send you all postcards,
Once I get there.
With love, hope, and plenty of inspirations.
My dreams are yours,
So go ahead and take them.
Live them fully because I know I won’t.
There still on my to do list.
Next to loving life and joining fight,
Kisses, hugs or forgotten loves.
They’re flying by,
I’m still trying to catch them in jars, like fireflies.
To light up my room at night, 
With a warm glowing yellow light.
My lovely dreams keep me going.
So wait for my new postcard, love.
I’ll be there soon.

Break

What are you supposed to do?
When it all breaks apart?
That love isn’t there.
The one that existed,
When you were sparkly-eyed teenagers.
The kindness and small gestures,
That made your heart skip a beat or even two.
But it’s faded, 
Years wore it down.
In one’s eyes, the other’s wrong.
In the other’s eyes, they’re wrong.
But what’s real?
Break,
You’re gone.
Break,
It’s done.
Break,
Please leave.
Break,
I need to breathe.
Who we were,
Isn’t who we are.
Turmoil is blowing it up.
Maybe we need space.
We just need the distance.
We don’t need each other like before.
Break,
This is the end.
Break,
There’s nothing to mend.
Break,
Please leave.
Break,
I need to breathe.
The love is still there.
But it’s not quite enough.
There’s more to life then that.
It’s too rough.
So we need a break.
Just please leave.
I need to breathe.
