In Love With the Blade

I knew a girl who lost all she had
Leaving her lonely, lost, and terribly sad
Having no one to talk to and no one to call
She fell in love with the blade releasing it all

She found peace in the pain that came with each cut
Behind her bedroom door, always securly locked and shut
The sight of the blood left her satisfied time after time
But she found that just one wasn't enough to clear her mind

She cut more and more each time hiding the scars
For fear of a padded room, surrounded by bars
So finally she thought why not end it all
Sitting in her room she planned her last letters and calls

She wrote of her sorrows and how she couldn't let go
And how sorry tonight she was giving her soul
Then she ran the bath water and locked all the doors
Knowing that she wouldn't see tommorrow or feel the pain anymore

Then she climbed into the tub and grabbed that faithful blade
That she'd grown to love and find refuge in each day
As she cut down the middle of each wrist on each arm
Not thinking that this would cause anyone else any hurt or alarm

As she began to bleed she became weary and weak
Fearing that maybe this shouldn't have been her release
But it was to late to turn back the damage was done
For her love with the blade had left ehr to far gone

As she began to slip she began to weep
Wishing to finally sleep into an eternal sleep
As she finally slipped away the blade fell to her side
Leaving a cold reality that the love of her blade left ehr to die

So now as I sit I think back to her
And her beautiful life now jsut a blur
That blade that she'd loved had pushed her so hard
That her ivory arms weren't all that were scarred

Love

A love found in the darkness
A love seen from the moon
A love known by all earthly things
A love that seals the tomb

A time that always stands still
A time that healed my pain
A time that helps me get through
A time that leads to gain

My dreams are taken seriously
My dreams are coming true
My dreams are growing frequent
My dreams are reality with you

My heart that I have given
My heart that you receive
My heart that holds our love
My heart that can’t deceive

Your touch that brings me under
Your touch that healed my soul
Your love that makes me shudder
Your touch that won’t let me go

Your kiss sweeter than sweet 
Your kiss softer than air
Your kiss that makes me wander
Your kiss that takes me there

We share our time together
We share our time apart
We share our love for always
We share together our hearts

Heartbroken But Still Breathing

Laying beneath the stars and moon
Hoping that you would join me soon
I cried and cried till my body grew weak,
Leaving the tear stains on my cheeks.

I wanted to be happy and know pure joy
I wanted to be able to not have my hurt used as a toy
I wanted to be able to have someone kiss me so soft
I wanted to be able to have time stop

I held myself tight wondering what I would say
When I ran into you the next day
For that kiss made me wonder if my life was really right
Or if I simply fought for nothing visible in the light

I wished I could have changed it and had pushed you away
I wished I could have changed it and had seen ahead that day
I wished I had never cared or thought of what might be
I wished I had never cared of what you thought of me

I shook all over with chills from the cold night air
Wondering to myself if you had ever actually cared
Sobbing hard again as I seen my mistakes
Realizing deep within it was all just fake

I hoped that now you were happy for making me love you
I hoped that now you were happy for making me want my life to be threw
I hoped that now it was easy to sit and see me sad
I hoped that now it was easy to tell I’m not really mad

And even though my heart is broken and I know the wounds will heal
I sit here beside the grave crying, forever missing you still
And as the lightening lit the sky I felt warmth in my pain
I knew that though here that pain was eased it will soon return again

My Words

Sitting here bored out of my mind 
I think back to better days left behind
I only wish to not be so leery 
As my body gets quite weary 
And my eyes begin to close

As they close the scene around me changes
And everything quickly rearranges
Making it all seem so blurry
Like surrounded by quick falling flurries
Then everything gets quite numb

The numbness leads to a dark denial
Leaving me without that smile
That smile that pushed me to be dreaming
Inside a head that’s always screaming
Screaming for the falling rapture known today as life

For this life that seems so endless
This life that leaves your body listless
Makes me wonder why we wonder
Sitting here to rot and ponder

I hit my knees wanting forgiveness
For making life such an extreme mess
For causing others pain and sorrow
For being to weak to live till the morrow

And as my pleading comes to end
Everything grows dark again
An echoing silence then fills my head 
Like all my thoughts were painted and bled

For in my head filled utter black
A blackness that had held me back
And then a light shined from afar
Breaking my silence and deaths bar

My eyes opened to the warmth of you smile
The smile they seemed to last for miles
And the beauties of your soft sweet kiss 
That always made each day the best

Leaving me knowing of that love inside
The love I tried so hard to hide
The love that brought me here to you
Leaving me loving everything you do.

Waiting

Laying beneath the stars and moon
Hoping that you would join me soon
I cried and cried till my body grew weak,
Leaving the tearstains on my cheeks.

I wanted to be happy and know pure joy
I wanted to be able to not have my hurt used as a toy
I wanted to be able to have someone kiss me so soft
I wanted to be able to have time stop

I held myself tight wondering what I would say
When I ran into you the next day
For that kiss made me wonder if my life was really right
Or if I simply fought for nothing visible in the light

I wished I could have changed it and had pushed you away
I wished I could have changed it and had seen ahead that day
I wished I had never cared or thought of what might be
I wished I had never cared of what you thought of me

I shook all over with chills from the cold night air
Wondering to myself if you had ever actually cared
Sobbing hard again as I seen my mistakes
Realizing deep within it was all just fake

I hoped that now you were happy for making me love you
I hoped that now you were happy for making me want my life to be threw
I hoped that now it was easy to sit and see me sad
I hoped that now it was easy to tell I’m not really mad

And even though my heart is broken and I know the wounds will heal
I sit here beside the grave crying, forever missing you still
And as the lightening lit the sky I felt warmth in my pain
I knew that though here that pain was eased it would soon return again

A Night With You

He looks into my eyes
I squirm under his stare
It's hard to not see the love
Because it's obviously there 

He smiles when I blush
I feel so young when he's around
He makes me smile and laugh
Without making a sound

He runs his hands across my face
And my heart skips a beat
With I love you on my lips
I easily fall asleep

A kiss on the cheek
Wakes me with a smile
I cuddle in his arms
And we lay there for a while

He tells me all his dreams
And how I'm seen in everyone
We lay there fused together
Watching the rising sun

And as he finally falls asleep
I wish to him goodnight
As he whispers the last I love you
That echoes through the night

In Love With You

The cold it surrounds us
But notice we do not
I have no feeling towards it
For this time is all we’ve got

As we stand there hand in hand
I look deep with in your eyes 
And I know that you’re my man
And that you’ll answer my desperate cries

You saved me from the depths of hell
And you showed me love exists
And as I stand there looking at you 
You still a soft sweet kiss

I stand there dazed thinking hard
Of what I should say or do
When the realization hits me
I’m in love with you.

A Mistake

Laying beneath the stars and moon
Hoping that you would join me soon
I cried and cried till my body grew weak,
Leaving the tear stains on my cheeks.

A Bleeding Pain

A bleeding pain
Fills thy soul
Burning deep
Eating me whole
Bringing tears
That leaves scars
Forever lengthening
Forever growing
Leaving proof that life never goes on after death.
A constant struggle
Between the dark and light
Grows harder to see
On this night
Tonight we surface 
To find the truth
Seeking only 
The burning truth
Maybe we will soon know
Why so many give their soul
Just to have a little fun
To be the only one
For just a moment
Suspended in time
Just for a moment
With no long goodbyes
We are desperately crying
Dying to find the truth
The truth that dissipates in the sun light
Then is vaguely found in the night
Maybe soon we can possibly know why

Suffocating

Suffocating deep within
Falling deeper into sin

Wanting quickly to leave this place
To allow my soul to suspend in space

Looking hard for my blade
To make this pain quickly fade

My heartbeat quickening with each pace
As I stare death in its nonexistent face

Daring him to bring it on
Knowing that I’m already to far gone

For I’ve already ended my time
So the big man is really far from my depleting mind

My breath grows shallow and my skin pale
As the thought finally occurred I’m going to hell

So as I bleed covering the floor
My heartbeat depleted as I laid dead on the floor

Such a shame that it came to this
But I highly doubt I’ll be who they miss.
