If They Ask Me Do I Love You

I miss you 
Only on the days that end with 'Y'
The way the air smells of salt
and the twinkle in your eyes
How the sand feels between our toes
And the waves upon our heels
Our hearts beat so loud
I can hear it in my ears
And when the sun sets 
and the moon comes out 
I miss counting the stars 
While laying in your arms
My heart longs for you
Only when it beats 
And when you're near 
Is when I feel complete
My hands shake in excitment
When our fingers interlace
And my lips quiver 
When you caress my face
My breath shallows
as you sweep my hair behind my ear
I close my eyes in bliss 
As you kiss away my fears
I only miss you
With every waking breath
And till the end of time 
Is when my love for you will end

Tattered Souls

Take it! 
Take of what's left 
this hole inside this cavity deep inside my chest 
I've died a million times,
and a million more times I will
you say I am heartless,
I have no soul
But since when has a monster really had a soul?
I numb it all away 
but inside the truth still stings
How am i the vicious one,when they took it all away.
you have made me !
you have chained me!
you stuck this evil inside.
for the moment we were heroes 
they even cheered our names
but now we are scoffed and sneered at 
they have thrown us all away

Thank You

I want to thank the ones who didnt stay
The ones who said forever 
But they only ran away
I am forever grateful
To the ones who stopped my beating heart
The ones who said I love you
Then tore my heart apart
I give a big applause 
To the ones who broke my trust
The ones who said believe in me
But betrayed me and turned my soul to radioactive rust
Though I was left wounded and all alone
Although my heart is calloused
And my soul's a little torn
I am so much wiser for the hurting I've endured
And with every disappointment I am just that much more sure
It is not me who is the defective one
But the ones who caused the hurt

They Never Came Back

We’ve seen the true colors of man, 
Trudged through the mud and blood, in the sand. 
Stifled tears and we’ve hidden our pain,
Trying not to lose ourselves on the way.
We’ve been to Hell and back.
We’ve laughed and we’ve cried, 
In each other we confide, 
We’ve been up every single night,
Seen good men lose the fight.
We’ve been to Hell and back.
We’ve seen the look of fear; we know the smell so clear, 
Seen full grown men crumble down and cry,
In the face of danger we laughed and took it in stride.
We’ve been to Hell and back.
Going in fighting to win, 
But we lost a piece of ourselves in the end.
Losing the company of our good loyal friends,
Some weren’t as lucky, and as good as dead.
We all went to hell, but some never came back.

Once

Those eyes , those eyes
that burn away the darkness
In those eyes I can die and turn off all the malice 
if it's true , please wont you let it be real
you are the only thing that chases away my fears 

those lips that once belonged to me 
Let me drink my fill
I want to live in ignorant delusion 
even if only in my dreams
I want to be drunk off of you 
Ill give you all of me 

That breath!
that would utter my name 
the one that filled my lungs
the breath that tickled my spine 
that breath that gave me life.

Your Memory Lingers

Today again I heard your name, 
It nearly made me go insane
I Curse the lips from which they came!
Those stupid words burned inside my brain 
I thought I heard your voice float by
I still remember the look in your eyes
I smelled that sweet perfume, 
and again I think of you 
I've erased you a million times , 
but for some reason the memories still stay 
your spirit still hides in my heart
even though we are apart

I Rather Hurt

I am Icarus and you are the sun 
I keep flying closer and closer
not thinking of what will come 
A moth to a flame 
I burst into ash 
I savor the bitter-sweet taste
because I know it won't last 
You're like cutting
'cause I rather hurt than feel nothing
You're my poison,
 it tastes so sweet, but its all consuming
You're my Meth 
a 10 second high, with a life time of hurting 
Like a wave you pull me under I don't fight it 
I just hold my breath hoping it'll last
'Till my lungs burst and I welcome death

I Cannot Forget

Just as I forgot your scent  
Here you come again
Just as I erased your kisses
Again you steal my breath
The warmth of your body just left my breast 
My fingers have untraced your chest 
Your name was just now 
erasing from my mind
And again everywhere I hear it chime
I thought I was rid of you
But no , you still  persist   
You'll always be the thing 
that my mind cannot erase

This Little Light

There was once a light that danced on the water
Happiness would always surround her
this light that would sing a happy tune
Never had any enemy, never lived in gloom
so breathtakingly effortless her beauty from within
but someone saw the light and wanted it all for him
He stole it and hid it and kept it away
 
This light never saw the sun or the water again
this light so bright she used to be
but now she began to dim very slowly
So tired and lonely she began to cry
all she longed for was  love
and to be outside
the light she was kept away so long
That when she was no longer beautiful, he finally let her go
But the light was all burnt out
tired and without hope
There was once a light, who danced on the water,
But this light has gone out
from the wicked heart of another

Paper and Pen

I exist between these lines,
a place that I call home
The space between the bars,
It's the only thing I've known
I've dreamt of what it's like
to roam the vastness
Where there isn't any structure ,
absolutely no confinements
but these lines are where I was placed,
I guess it's where I'm meant to be
But when the pages are turned, and all is dark
I dream that I am free
