Don'T Lie To Me

Avala, Avala, Avala,
You say your name is Avala.
Open your eyes child.
Don't lie to me!
Your name is not Avala
And I know that.

When you speak you words to me
how do you feel?
Happy? Angry? Sad?
Do you feel nothing?
Don't lie to me!
Or I will not believe you when you tell the truth.
You now that.

So what is your name child?
Come here, and tell me.
I don't want to hurt you
But please don't lie to me!
Your name, what is it?
You don't know?
Well what would you like it to be?
Avala?
Ok.
Come on,
let's find you a new home.

My Fountain of Joy

My eyes are like a fountain 
And I move as if cold
It's unbearable 
The feeling inside my frozen heart
As frozen as the iceberg that sunk the Titanic
As frightened as the men in the trenches 
As sick as the dying children of now

For you now, walking does not work without help
With the balance of two strong men, you walk to were I last see you

Before your struggle to stand and to move
Your smile once sun but now like clouds
Not to worry others you say 
Not to worry your mother you say by come to learn and risk your health
And worry us all

I'm not there to see it happen but only to come when the strong man streams
I immediately thought you fell
And though I did not see I knew before and I run
Looking around to find something to refill you fountain eyes and steal the closest thing to help

Your eye are like a fountain
And you move as if cold
It's unbearable 
Your eyes flutter as if a beautiful butterfly 
But I almost loose sight when the men came to take you away
I have not since seen you but I know your ok
You told me so 

But my heart still feels as frozen as the iceberg that sunk the titanic
As frightened as the men in the trenches
As sick as the dying children of now

Your beautiful sunshine smile and butterfly eyes

My fountain of joy

Stop, Breathe, Goodbye

I'm pulled from the water but I can’t breathe.
I can’t wake up, I'm lifeless, but I feel free.

Stop
Breathe

The one thing I can do right is taken away so fast.
The people I loved most have disappeared at last.

Stop
Breathe

Why are the tears I cry made of blood so red?
Could it be, my dream has come. Am I finally dead?

Stop
Breathe 
Die

I feel nothing, but I feel pain.
I wish that I could wake up again.

Stop
Breathe out
Cry

I didn't get a chance to say goodbye to the people I loved the most.

Stop
Breathe
Goodbye

I Am Dead

I am dead...

I died but I don't know how
I've lost the feeling in my arms
I've lost the feeling in my legs and my chest
I've lost the feeling of my blood rushing and my heart pumping

I can't hear
I can't see
I can't speak
I can't scream

I've lost the feeling in my heart and the feeling in my soul 

I am lost
I am dead
But I'm breathing 

I'm breathing and I'm walking around
But I can't feel anything
I'm dead on the inside and you've killed me
I don't feel happy, but I don't feel sad
I don't feel anything

But I do...

Feel dead

I Don'T Know

'I don't know' is the only answer I can give,
because before now it was the only thing I was aloud to say.
But that's not a good enough answer for you. 
Like an English Teacher you need full sentences rather then just words,
And like a Maths Teacher you need full working out, showing how I got my answer.

You said you would take me anywhere in the world,
But you just needed to know where,

You said you would buy me anything in the world,
But you just needed to know what,

You said you would do anything for me so that I would be happy,
But you just needed to know what makes me happy,

But, I don't know.

You kiss me because you want to,
You kiss me again because you think I wanted you to.
You think I smile because you funny?
I smile out of habit because I don't know how to say stop.
I have been wearing this mask for so long,
I don't know how to get it off.

You think you make me happy?
You are the reason my life is so sad.
You are the reason I want to leave.
You are the reason I wish I never came to this place to meet you.

But...

I don't know...I don't know how to tell you.

I Am Free

I am free

I am free

I am not free

All I asked was for you to leave,
for you to be gone out of my life
and know all I can think about is how much I miss you.

I miss talking to you,
I miss being with you,
I miss being the one to make you smile everyday,
But I'm so afraid of you.

I can't even look at you, 
or even bare to hear your name 
before I tremble with fear, 
Before I shake and I freeze.

That was the reason I pushed you away.
I told you I hate you but really I don't.
I was trying to protect you from thinking it was all your fault.
Even if it was I couldn't tell you that.
You act so tough and so strong
Yet all I have to do is not be there for one day and you're falling apart right in front of me.

One day I hope you'll understand,
what it's like to be on the receiving end of you love.

I promise one day I will tell you, how I really feel.
I promise one someone will tell you, they feel the same way towards you.

I am free

I am not free

You are free

You are free, 
from me.

Gone

Butterflies flying in the sky.
Sparkling water on your wings.
You are the reason the flowers bloom.
You are the reason my heart sings.

I smile at you but you didn’t notice.
But I didn’t mind, you were being yourself then.
You fly with your nice friends that make you laugh.
I tell you ‘I love you’ over and over again.

Gone

It happened so fast, I can’t remember. 
Slow down and take a breath, you’re alright.
There was lights and darkness.
I can’t remember what happened, it was night.

You are my life and you are my love.
What happened? I thought we were good.
Now you’re gone and I can’t get you back.
But now I can see, I misunderstood.



I love you guys.

Love Life

No choices
Have to choose

No one to listen
No way to talk

A million things to say
I don't know what's wrong 

Feel sick, I'm fine
Feel lost, I'm home

Help me, find me
Stay away

You're my friend
I hate you 

Stop it, STOP IT
It stops, for today

Tomorrow it starts again
It comes in moments

I hate it, it comes
Love life

Fear Has No Words

Stop

Heart rate increase 

Sweating 

Can't move

I don't want to look 

Ignore 

Eye close 

Stop it 

Go away

He leaves 

Breathe 

Heart rate decreases 

Sweating stops 

Eye open

I look around

He's gone 

Sigh

Goodbye
