Nobody knows what is inside
Trying to break out, but They must hide
The stranger in me
Always trying to break free
Losing control day by day
Hoping this stranger might go away
The fight of a warrior is one I may lose
To a stranger that will have me hang by a noose

Love is beautiful and tragic, magnificent and overwhelming
You fall in it and suddenly you feel alive
Feeling life in every memory you share
Until it’s gone
Then how are you supposed to live
Knowing you will never feel his lips touch yours again
It’s agonizing
But we all take this risk at the chance of finding the one that will give us life forever
At the chance of never having to say goodbye
This is what we live for
It is a beautiful struggle

I lie. I lie about everything all the time to everyone. I lie and say that I’m ok when I am dying inside. I smile and laugh it off when someone says I look sad, or say I’m just tired. I lie and say their words don’t effect me. I lie and say, it’s ok everything is ok. I even lie to myself, saying that it will get better, everything is gonna be great soon. I know that’s not true.

I feel myself slipping
With only him to hold me down
Slipping away from life

When he returns
My heart skips a beat
He gives me life and he doesn’t even know it

‭You touch my face
The look in your eyes
That unrecognizable look
Your fingers begin to scrape down my lips
Your hands veer down further still
Wandering until finally
They reach my throat
You hesitate
For only a moment
Your hands contract
Leaving me less air every second
Until finally... you stop
Fear fills your gaze
Realizing what you’ve done
“It’s ok, it’ll all be ok”
STOP
REWIND
PLAY
You touch my face
The look in your eyes...
