Love Yourself

Don't hate the stars for their beauty
Don't hate the sun when it doesn't shine
Don't estimate someone's strength
Until you've seen them cry
Don't look for reasons to mourn
Look for reasons to rejoice
Instead of closing your mind
Consider each and every choice
Don't hate the sky for raining
Instead ask the clouds why they cry
Don't take the light inside yourself
Distribute it to the sky
Never hide your inner beauty
To please everyone else
Gather your pride and shine it bright
And go on loving yourself

A Cigarette To Missing You

My cigarette is burning in the ashtray
I'm trying but I can't sleep
There are too many things on my mind
How do you do this to me
Another long drag on that cigarette
But all my nerves do is race
Now I'm searching all my memories
Just looking for your face
The cherry of this cigarette
Burns so bright as your eyes
'Marlboro' printed on that white paper
Reminds me of your well thought out lies
I take another drag that comes so close to the filter
The smoke drifts away like my dreams
This burning ember is stanched out in the ashtray
Like my hopes for you and me

Black Roses

I grow roses in a garden
The garden of my soul
The roses are all black
Fading and centuries old
Whenever one turns gray
It dies and moves on
Then another grows in its place
As soon as the sun goes down
Rays of moonlight illuminate them
It makes them shine like rain
Black Roses glistening with bloody jewels
The sight is worth the pain
My Black Roses are so beautiful
Grown into my own worst fears
Their petals drip with red ichor
Crying my bloody tears
So in this serene garden
The garden of my soul
Each flower lies dead
For only Black Roses can grow

Your Angel

I will be your shelter
I will be your guiding light
I will be the one to call to
When things don't turn out right
I will be your lover
I will be your best friend
I will be there when the dust clears
Standing there for you until the end
I will be your angel
I will guard you from the flame
I will say it sacred
Each time I speak your name
I will hold you close to me
I will be there beside you until the end of time
I will give you all the joy that I can
As long as you will be mine

Dance

I'll dance all night
I'll dance the pain away
I'll dance until the morning sun
Graces us with day

I'll dance until I'm numb
Until I don't feel anymore
I'll dance until I'm gone
And don't remember what I'm dancing for

I'll dance until you love me
I'll dance the rest of my life
I'll dance until you return
By the moon's gentle light

I'll dance to the music
Of my shattering heart
I'll dance until it doesn't hurt
As you tear me apart

A Love So Tragic

(pt 1) 
We seem so indifferent
Like we just don't feel
We've got cuts on our hearts
That will never heal
Beautiful as a train wreck
In that confusing way
Stuck in reverse
Living on yesterdays
We fall into the darkness
And drown in the sea
No love has ever been so tragic
As the love between you and me

(pt 2) 
Your gorgeous as you always are
So beautiful no one could believe
That you could find such beauty
In someone like me
But we paint a pretty picture
We make it look so nice
With hearts hard as stone
And eyes carved from ice
Seperated only by distance
Our beauty envied by the stars
Our story so original
The tragedy of what we are

(pt 3) 
Pick me up and carry me
Through our sweet abyss
Shroud me in your fantasy
Its not like I'll be missed
Give me all your heart
Your perfect in my imperfections
Look in the mirror and see it
That beautiful reflection
So we'll dance our way to freedom
We'll dance until we die
Forever framed in beauty
The tragedy of you and I

Do Not Forget Me

I haven't seen you in so long
The memories are beginning to fade
I want to see you one last time
So I can memorize your face
I don't want to forget how you look
Your smile means everything to me
I refuse to forget how your voice sounds
Its so precious you'd never believe
I want one last look at you
Even if it collapses my aching heart
You can make me smile one last time
Before I fall apart
I just want one chance to tell you goodbye
Since your the sun in my days
I don't want you to leave
When I still have so much to say
Promise you'll never forget me
Theres no way I'll ever forget you
I can't help but cry as I write
Because I know every word is true
Never forget the smiles we've shared
Please don't forget the memories we've made
When you go don't erase me
Don't let the passions fade
Never forget the times I've held you
I'd do anything to hold you again
I don't want you out of my life
I want you there until the very end
Don't ever forget that I love you
You'll always be everything that shines
I'll never forget the first time I looked at you
And fell in love with your eyes

Car Wreck

Splintered pieces of my heart
Get pushed to the back
I wonder how I will survive
In a world so black
Its time to try and let go
With the melody of this crash
My eyes are painted red
With shard of broken glass
Bending metal closes in
And threatens to strangle me
I lay there and pray to the Goddess
That no one will save me
There is a woman in the other car
I hear the cries of a baby too
So I lay there and pray to the Goddess
To take me and save the life that's new

Can You Love Me

Can you heal my heart
Can you save my soul
Can you wash away the black
And renew the old
Can you hold me close
Can you take my pain away
Can you stand here beside me
Until my dying day
Can you promise me forever
Can you give me your heart
Can you want me until the end
And trust that we won't fall apart
Can you be there when I hurt
Can you let yourself trust me
Can you keep me for eternity
But most importantly, Can You Love Me
