I Wonder

I wonder if i died what what would happen
Would the people around me cry?
Would they laugh? Would they show up to my funeral?
I wonder who would show up.
Would it be my best friends or complete strangers?
I wonder who would cry the hardest.
The girl I left behind or the woman who raised.
I wonder what would happen if I died.

Suicide

I wonder if suicide is a reasonable option
I wonder if it's a good choice
Out of everyone telling me to do it
There's always that one voice
Would anyone notice me gone
Maybe a few people would cry
But it really wouldn't matter 
If I did just cut myself and die
I'm already invisible 
I'd be better dead
I wonder if my blood
Would bleed a deep red
Sorry to everyone 
But if i die
Then no one should ask
Me the reasons why

The Dark

What beauty there is in the shadows and the dark
There is no such thing as suffering from the heart
I've been in the light too much i need some rain
Maybe then I'll wash away all the pain
Being with someone doesn't take away the loneliness
It gives you the illusion that you have no loneliness
The dark is really a best friend to you
It hugs, kisses, and consoles you too
If you're in the light you get taken advantage of
You walk around with a smile feeling no love
The dark greets me at dusk bidding me farewell at dawn
Even though it disappears it's never really gone
The dark always tells the truth while the people lie
The dark will give me a warm embrace when I die

Her

A beautiful dream in a world of nightmares.
Us against them, but they won't fight fair.
I'll be your weapons and your shield.
You don't have to go out in the battlefield.
I'll fight the war so you don't have to.
In the end I will come back to you.
I love you and you love me.
That's all I need for victory.
We'll be together and we'll laugh and play.
Just because you're mine we'll celebrate.
I'll make sure your happy and you keep that smile.
Because I'm not going anywhere for a while.
Somehow you planted our seed.
Was it when my tears fell or when I made myself bleed?
Was it when I was all alone?
When I had no one left except my skin and bone?
What matters now is that you're here.
I'll make sure you don't cry any tears.

Lies

You say you love me but I know that you really don't 
You say you'll hold me but I know that you really won't 
You tell me one thing but I can see it in your eyes
You never meant any of your lies
You say you'll never hurt me but I know you really will
Because I'm the only one left to kill
And when I reach out to you before I die
That's when you'll tell me everything was a lie
I'll stay away from you so I know I won't get hurt
I'll go to someone who won't treat me like dirt
And I'll see you in the background and I'll wave you bye
Because the girl I'm with will never tell me that same lie

Former Friends

You disappeared from my life 
I thought you were my best friend
 I just want to take a knife
 And let my life meet its end 
You said you would never leave me
 I need you now more than ever 
This didn't have to be 
But you're now gone forever
 You disappeared so quick
 Without saying a word
 Now my heart feels sick
 Because it's not being heard 
Why did you leave in the first place 
You used to be so nice 
Now my heart has a bad taste 
Feeling as cold as ice
