Love Is Blind, They Say

Love is blind they say 
                              They said I was crazy for loving you 
              I really believed I was with the right person I was crazy for u 
You always promised that we would be together forever and nothing could 
EVER separate us. 

You lied. You were always lieing to me 
I believed you  

I really believed you 

I really trusted you 
I was so stupid 
I bet you still remember the day  
The day you made my heart numb 
When you killed me on the inside you broke my heart and you didn’t even give a care 
You still walk around me every day brushing me off like a piece of dirt.
I hate 
I hate you so much.. that was the day you killed me.

Autumn Wind

As I step outside I feel the autumn wind hit my face violently 
As I think of that day 
Memories clattered 
Memories shattered
You were my best friend 
We used to do everything together 
I loved you  
then the cold ominous wind of autumn came and blew it all away 
all our good times flying away blowing away. 
All our memories all our coversations they just  faded 
                          Faded 
There isn’t much left that I can remember of our friendship but I try to hold on with all my heart hoping for a day when I can finally find all the pieces.

But its to late there already gone with the autumn wind

Darkness

the darkness
overwhelms me 
eats at me 
takes over 
controls me 

every night before i go to bed i pray
that the darkness does not take over me

every morning before i go to school 
i wish that someone could help me


nobody can help me im all alone soon 
the darkness will swallow me whole
leaving nothing in my place but a empty shell

i feel everyday it goes inches up my body 
i first felt it when i was young it was at my knees

now the darkness is at my neck trying to get to my head 
the control panel the place where i think

i see all my friends enjoying there lives
while i wallow in my own self pity and anguish 

wont you join me
wont you comfort me
wont you stay 
no oh sorry i bothered you 

goodbye

I Used To

i used to love when you touched me 
i used to love when you held me 
i used to love when you shielded me 
i used to love when you loved me 
i used to care 

but then you changed 
you used to care to
that's when it started
the hitting 
the screaming 

you used to love me 
you used to protect me 
you used to heal me 
but after a while
you did the opposite

i didn't want to hurt anymore
i didn't care
i wanted to get away 
i had to try

so i ended it 
i feel so much better

me and you went our separate ways
but i still want you 
i never wanted you to leave
i never said goodbye

My Soul

nobody can own my soul 
nobody can take it
nobody can break it

all i now is that since 
i left all the past behind 
my soul has been soaring
soaring

its in the clouds flying with
other souls
up above

you used to own my soul
you used to take it for your own
you used to shatter it all the time 

but you dont own it anymore 
ill leave you to steal somebody elses


im done with you idont care 

cry 
whine
beg
plead 

sorry i cant take you anymore 
find someone else 

bash there dreams why dont you

The Day You Died

the day you died was just another day
i got ready for school 
did my work 
then went home
i hadn't realized 
did i realize 
i wanted to scream
i tried to forget
but every time i fell asleep
you were there 
i could not get rid of you
i thought for days 
nothing worked
i tried my best 
all my emotions were a wreck 

we left for the funeral
i couldn't stay
i looked at the coffin 
i couldn't stay
i wanted to open it 
to see you alive and well
to see you looking at me
that would never happen 

every time i said you would just walk through that door
good as new 
but you never came 
i cried 
waited 
cried 
waited 
until i was a mess
but i finally 
realized you weren't coming back



R.I.P
Uncle Dave

Hunted

i am being hunted dont you know
someone is stalking
following
trailing me
they want to catch and imprison me 
maybe its not a bad thing maybe its a good thing 
nobody knows

sometimes i sit up in bed and look around 
is that the hunter behind the curtain
under my bed
in my closet 

i wake up like im being watched everyday 
being stalked
being hunted

do i need to turn around 
do i need to run 
do i need to hide

this person confuses me 
if you were gonna get me wouldnt 
you catch me already
i dont want to be afraid anymore




LEAVE ME ALONE 



STOP HUNTING ME ALREADY 


but its to late im already hunted!!!!

Smile

i have heard my smile was light 
it was comforting 
it was friendly 
it was welcoming 

 wished it had stayed like that
i wish i would never be down again
but it was to  late
you all know wishes has to end 
there like fairy tails
just like Cinderella
the clock struck 12 
and the wish was finished

that was the day i stopped smiling
the day i stopped caring
the day i stopped worrying 
people would never see that smile again

that's the day when you said goodbye

Drowning

i hold my neck someone anyone come save me 
i see hands but they don't reach for me 
im sinking
sinking
sinking
until im depths beneath the water
my eyes start to close every things going blurry 
my hands are turning white 
my throat is burning 
burning
burning
i cant take it  ready to just let go 
but i cant its just 
holds me and makes me suffer 
as i float down more 
my nose starts bleeding 
bleeding 
bleeding 
theres nothing i can do 
wont you help me 
you helped me all those other times
but its to late for apologies now 
as i let myself go as i see my body floating beneath 
me 

i feel soft warm lips on mine 
i spit up water  and look up 
looking in those chocolate brown 
color and then i realize you were never mine to begin with

Myself

on the light side
i am funny 
i am outspoken 
i am smart
i am friendly 
i am  artistic 
i am independent
i am optimistic
i am dependable
i am trustworthy
i have self-esteem
i am confident 
i am lovable
i am amusing

on my dark side 
i am horrible
i am embarrassed 
i am depressed 
i am mean
i am tired
i am rude 
i am clumsy
i am hesitant 
i am not good at trusting people
i am always putting myself down

the two sides of me
they fight all the time
trying to take control of each other
but unfortunately  one has to lose
until then i am going to try 
my best to balance them 
or go down trying.
