My Guardian Angel

From the moment I set eyes on you
I knew that you would change me
You set me free 
In ways that I could have never believed

You saw right through me 
Saw my strengths and weakness
I couldn't have made it here without you
You took me away from the bleakness

There's beauty in your presence
From your curiosity to your smile
You allow me to open up
Keeping me same for a little while

There are few people that know me well enough
To cheer me up and make me feel better
You always know exactly what to say and do
And you stole my heart in the old black sweater

Now I see you everywhere I go
Can't get you off my mind
Even though you aren't here
My heart puts our memories on rewind

I'm extremely lucky to have found you
Or maybe you sought me out
Whatever the case may be
You saved my life, without a doubt

To know that I have met my guardian angel
Is something I couldn't have imagined
And you taught me how to live
A life that I would've abandoned

City Living

I look into the night sky
As the darkness surrounds my every thought
For I cannot help but sigh
I could not find the star I had sought

The heavens so dark and dull
Nothing for the eye to see
It used to be so shiny and full
Of stars that seemed to flea

This bleakness the night has become
Has taken away the true beauty of the night
It has left my emotions numb
There is not one star in sight

Sometimes I can see the moon
Shine brightly over the city 
As if it's singing a sad tune
Stemmed from sympathy and pity

The emptiness inside this place I call home
A city so cold a black
Has me feeling so alone
I am a one man wolf pack.

Living Nightmares

Vivid memories surround
As the darkness draws near
A weak, wounded man
Consumed by all fear

This man cannot breathe
His heart races on
This past he must face
Until the clock reaches dawn

The remorse and regret 
He never thought he'd feel
Is risen from these thoughts 
Cuts that won't heal

Drowning in his own sorrow
Has become a routine
For he cannot escape this nightmare
Because of tragedies unforeseen 

This hell he must endure
Until he finally awakens
To the bright light of day 
His soul completely shaken

These dreams he can no longer take
Tell the story of his being
This happens every night
There's no way to stop the bleeding

Prove To Me

I need you to prove to me
That I mean something
And that there's more to this life
Than what I'm living

Life is a game
But there's no way to win
I keep trying to fix my mistakes
I need to find the restart button

Is it possible to feel
Anything but contempt?
You never treat me right. 
You don't even attempt. 

There's a darkness that surrounds me
It's seemingly invisible
Only the 'good' can see it
An aura that is indivisible. 

This dark gloomy life
Is too much for the good to bear
That's why only the good die young
And their fate, is what I'll share. 

So tonight,
I'll say goodbye
To the dark 
And desolate sky

My faith in humanity 
Cannot be restored 
And this life I lead
will be no more.

The Desolate City

The dark desolate city 
Haunts me like broken dreams 
Nightmares that have come to life
Of a world that I will never see

The life I am living
Could be worth so much more
But I fail to see the point
Even breathing has become a chore

My body is breaking down
As my mind has become numb
The only happiness I've ever known
Comes from pills and a bottle of rum

I cannot see the light
My future is too bleak
I can't climb out of this depression
My soul is too weak

I'm dying from the inside out
But none of you can tell
I'm far from perfect
I'm tired of living in this hell.
