The One That Got Away
My heart literally hurts
My chest is in pain
Life without you
Will never be the same
I can't blame you
Because I did you wrong too
But now that it's officially over
I don't know what to do
We started out as friends
As I denied my feelings
You came to me
You wanted more, with more meaning
I did too but I was scared
When you tried to be there, I left
I thought you were better than me
The best man I ever met
As time went on
I regretted my acions
Got caught up in my insecurities
They stopped me from...
My chest is in pain

You wanted more, with more meaning

I thought you were better than me

Love Roulette
I hear your problems
I will wipe away a tear
I love you with all my heart
And that is my biggest fear
I can't get you out of my head
You're always around
Everywhere I look
In the sky and on the ground
You are there when I am about to sleep
And all throughout the night
You are there when I wake
You never leave my sight
However, I am playing a game
That I cannot possibly win
As you are my best friend
And feeling for you is like a sin
It's a game of love roulette
And the gun is fully loaded
As loving a...

Questioning
Why me?
I stumbled upon you through simple curiosity
In a field I was a child
There you stood, a monstrous ant pile
Unsuspecting, I got bitten
Pain behind every word I've written
Your poison got under my skin
And ever since, that's where its been
It stayed and sank into my fragile veins
What's worse;
A weeks bruise or a year's pain?

It stayed and sank into my fragile veins

How Could You?
Yesterday last year, you were right here
And yet now you feel so far away
Your rotting underground but your face is in my head
I don't understand it, you're not meant to be dead
I don't get why you did what you did
But who am I to judge?
You had your reasons and I don't own your life
But I just wish you would've thought of us
The dull pain of grief throbs stronger every time
I don't want to miss you, you've committed a crime
I don't understand and I never will
And now when I think of you
All I feel is a chill...
And yet now you feel so far away
Your rotting underground but your face is in my head
I don't understand it, you're not meant to be dead
I don't get why you did what you did
But who am I to judge?
You had your reasons and I don't own your life
But I just wish you would've thought of us
The dull pain of grief throbs stronger every time
I don't want to miss you, you've committed a crime
I don't understand and I never will
And now when I think of you
All I feel is a chill...

Contradiction
So full of deceit
My lifes a contradiction
One day its reality
The next one is fiction
I'm lost without reason
Because I made it so
To increase the complexity
And force myself to grow
I'm so full of life today
But tomorrow it dies
I'm so full of optimism
But a pessimist cries
The two extremes of who I am
Are what I hate to be
I'm so scared to waste it
Then I'm scared to run free
Can I live it day by day
Or do I even dare?
I'm so full of wonder now
But tomorrow, I just wont care
My lifes a contradiction
One day its reality
The next one is fiction
I'm lost without reason
Because I made it so
To increase the complexity
And force myself to grow
I'm so full of life today
But tomorrow it dies
I'm so full of optimism
But a pessimist cries
The two extremes of who I am
Are what I hate to be
I'm so scared to waste it
Then I'm scared to run free
Can I live it day by day
Or do I even dare?
I'm so full of wonder now
But tomorrow, I just wont care

One By One
One by one
Take one step at a time
Said her daddy teaching her to walk
The little girl, only one year old
She looked up and smiled
And let go of his hand
Now sixteen years old
Dad's breathing was no longer in his control
He tried and tried to take a breath
But there was something waiting, called death
One by one, Dad
Take one breath at a time
She told her father
Even if she saw the signs
She looked down at him
As the paramedics came
She thought back to him teaching her to walk
Remembering...

The Phases
Ten years old, loud as can be
I wanted someone to notice me
Goofy faces, ribbons and bows
But hiding the bruises so no one would know
Thirteen years old, quiet and reserved
Believing what happened was what I deserved
Looking for monsters under my bed
When all along they were in my head
Sixteen years old, scared and alone
Dad died, and I had no home
Late nights I would stay up and cry
With a blade to my wrist, wanting to die
Twenty three years old, Still holding on strong
I stayed faithful when things went...

My Memories
My memories are scared of the you I used to know
I remember all of the places we used to go
Time has made me older, life has made me old
My bones are thin and brittle, my body feels the cold
Days when I was younger and warmer in the sun
Days when you were with me, I was the chosen one
Years went rolling past us, but I lost you along the way
I would give all my tomorrows for just one yesterday...

Music Is Poetry
Music is poetry
An expression of the heart
I can feel it in me
When the music starts
My blood is flowing
My mind is free
It's beautiful when someone
Is feeling the same as me
Words are the pristine way
To uplift an emotion
My words are my heart
My paper is my sleeve
I wonder if someone feels the same as me
An expression of the heart
I can feel it in me
When the music starts
My blood is flowing
My mind is free
It's beautiful when someone
Is feeling the same as me
Words are the pristine way
To uplift an emotion
My words are my heart
My paper is my sleeve
I wonder if someone feels the same as me

Seduction
He stripped me down naked
Under those passionate eyes
Then my body began to melt
With hot chills on my thighs
My soul was devoured away
Trapped under a lustful spell
So powerless under his gaze
A seduction game played well.
Under those passionate eyes
Then my body began to melt
With hot chills on my thighs
My soul was devoured away
Trapped under a lustful spell
So powerless under his gaze
A seduction game played well.

My Heart
My heart felt what it shouldn't
It gave when it couldn't
Believed in many things
When I wouldn't
It listened but never spoke
It cared but always choked
It shattered but continued to beat
It loved but experienced defeat
It gave when it couldn't
Believed in many things
When I wouldn't
It listened but never spoke
It cared but always choked
It shattered but continued to beat
It loved but experienced defeat

No Questions
No questions were asked
So how could I say no?
You did what you wanted
Hurt me with every blow
No questions were asked
So how could I give consent?
Pulled me so aggressively
To the back seat, we went
No questions were asked
I feel so very empty
It all happened so fast
He took every inch of me
No questions were asked
So how could I say no?
You did what you wanted
Hurt me with every blow
No questions were asked
So how could I give consent?
Pulled me so aggressively
To the back seat, we went
No questions were asked
I feel so very empty
It all happened so fast
He took every inch of me
No questions were asked
