Why

Your lost yourself
          -Just Stop
You became what you tossed
heart covered by frost
you became what you feared
being alone,
            -You disappeared

You lost yourself
         -Just scream
soon you covered by darkness
swallowed by the lockness
soon life was just not worth living
you haven’t received what you’ve been giving

You lost yourself
          -Just Breathe
hold it. let it go
just stop asking why
remember a butterfly will fly
regardless of the storm nearby

You lost yourself
        -Just dream
the light will overpower the darkness
the love will kill the lockness
soon life will be giving
what you thought was not worth living

you lost yourself
           -Just Live
your heart will defrost
not everything will seem so lost
what you feared
being alone,
            -isn’t as severe

You lost yourself
        just stop
        just scream
        just breathe
       just dream
        just live

Butterfly, 
 regardless you will fly
       -Just don’t ask why.

First Night Last Day

I watched YOU be.  
One night. One day. 

Love grew this way.
Thinking you were the one for me. 
Skin so soft. Smile so strong. 
Eyes so big. Glare so deep. 
Love i would love to keep. 


I watched IT be. 
Two nights. Two days. 
Hate grew this way. 


I thought we were meant to be. 
Never imagined love would run away. 
Voice so harsh. Words so mean. 
Look so tough. Touch so rough. 
Hate i would hate to keep. 


I watched US be. 
Three nights. Three days. 
Pain grew this way. 
You believed i belonged to you. 
I thought this couldn't be. 
Eyes so black, so blue. 
Skin so red, so bruised. 
Heart so broken, so misused. 
Pain only grew. 
I knew this couldn't succeed
I knew this couldn't be. 


You watched ME be
Last night. Last day. 
Sorrow grew our way. 
As i walked away
We realized i can no longer stay. 
Tears so thick, so endless. 
Pain so deep, so wounding. 
Heart so shivered, so confusing.  
Missed me so much, so late. 
Finally you realize what you had, what a mistake. 
Now you watch what used to be. 
From our first night. To now our last day.

I Look For You

I look for you, 
I look for a cliff, so you can pull me up. 
I look for heartbreaks, so you can mend them.
I look for rebellion, so you can frown at me.
Heck, at least you’ll be looking at me. 

I look for you,
In the depths of despair,
In the cracks of toxic relationships
In the torment of my failed dreams.
In the vague I love you
In the scattered heart pieces on my floor. 

But you haunt me,
Every memory i have of you haunts me. 
But I look for you, I still look for you. 

In the men i love, 
In their blood shot eyes
In their aimed fists, 
In their intimidating screams,
In their deteriorating, pernicious
Envious, overbearing, Grasp. 

I look for you, 
The only man who broke my heart
Before i even knew i had one. 
But Papa, i still look for you.

Back In

You confuse me.
I dont know if I should flee.
I let you back in.
Here i am, is this a sin?
Your smile, your gaze,
The one that left me amazed,
Wraps me warm,
But im on the lookout for a storm.
I sink into your heart,
My home, hoping things dont fall apart.
Its like comfort in the stars,
But we will burn as if on mars.
Your scent caress me.
Your touch sets me free.
See your love is a disguise,
Not meant for the wise.
Lingers in my vulnerabilities.
Rejoice in my insecurities.
In to deep now, can't see out.
Let you back in, 
Forgetting this might me a sin.
I sleep tonight.
Wrapped around my only light.
Dreaming about the sea,
Where i dropped my only key.
Your back in,
Get ready we are about to sin

Nobody

Nobody belongs to you, the way I do
Because nobody knows what we’ve been through

Only I know how warm your arms become
Only you can make my heart crumb

The war we fight each day 
Makes it hard for us to walk away

Nobody belongs to me, the way you do
Because nobody has a single clue

No matter what happens, I find my way to you
No matter what happens, you are always my glue

The nights we combined our hearts into a single stone
Makes it hard for us to ever be alone

Nobody belongs to each other, the way we do
Because everyone knows that our love only grew

Only we know how to elevate our hearts
Only we know how hard we fight not to be apart

The dreams we shared
Makes it hard for us to be imperfectly paired.

Depression

Things start changing, 
It is a bit colder
Moods start ranging
the world a little bit older
It is like it starts aging
the time a little bit slower.
Colors are no longer engaging
The days just got a bit shorter
Its like its eternally raining
Flooding this disorder. 
Life is just a little bit draining. 
want things to stay in order.
