Heads or Tails
Heads, I'm stable for another minute.
Tails, I'm broken for the next.
Heads, I need you.
Tails, I want to hurt you.
Heads, I crave your hold.
Tails, I'm desperate to grip your throat.
Heads, I love you.
Tails, I want you dead and gone.
Heads, I'm clinging to the memories.
Tails, I'm doing all I can to forget.
Heads, because I'd do anything to have you back in my life.
Tails, because you had no right to walk out on me.
Heads, lost and lonely man.
Tails, enraged and wounded beast.
Heads, I'm Jekyll....
Tails, I'm broken for the next.
Heads, I need you.
Tails, I want to hurt you.
Heads, I crave your hold.
Tails, I'm desperate to grip your throat.
Heads, I love you.
Tails, I want you dead and gone.
Heads, I'm clinging to the memories.
Tails, I'm doing all I can to forget.
Heads, because I'd do anything to have you back in my life.
Tails, because you had no right to walk out on me.
Heads, lost and lonely man.
Tails, enraged and wounded beast.

Use Me
Have you ever been alone,
And felt so without purpose
And so without purchase on this earth,
For so utterly long as I,
That you've begun to wonder
Whether being used indeed
Is the worst existence, after all?
Have you ever thought that,
Perhaps, one may be happier,
At least in the heat of those moments,
And that such joys,
Fleeting though they may be,
Are worth having, even needed,
When all other lights grow dim?
And felt so without purpose
And so without purchase on this earth,
For so utterly long as I,
That you've begun to wonder
Whether being used indeed
Is the worst existence, after all?
Have you ever thought that,
Perhaps, one may be happier,
At least in the heat of those moments,
And that such joys,
Fleeting though they may be,
Are worth having, even needed,
When all other lights grow dim?

Why Don't We Talk More?
Every time we speak,
I enjoy it so much
That I ask myself:
'Why don't we talk more?'
Every time I do get the chance,
You brighten my day so much
And I can't help but wonder:
'Why is she so wonderful to me?'
Every time I see that smile,
I feel so damned lucky
To be sat beside you and I think:
'Why can't we do this more often?'
So much, I want to know you.
So much, I want to be near you.
So much, I want you to feel the same.
So much it hurts.
So why... why don't we talk more?
So why don't we spend some time?...
I enjoy it so much
That I ask myself:
'Why don't we talk more?'
Every time I do get the chance,
You brighten my day so much
And I can't help but wonder:
'Why is she so wonderful to me?'
Every time I see that smile,
I feel so damned lucky
To be sat beside you and I think:
'Why can't we do this more often?'
So much, I want to know you.
So much, I want to be near you.
So much, I want you to feel the same.
So much it hurts.
So why... why don't we talk more?
So why don't we spend some time?...

And Now It's Over
All the memories,
And now it's over.
The rushing of nostalgia,
Because now it's over.
The hurting.
That's over.
The smiles, the hugs,
They're over too.
I am at the end of everything.
It's all over.
As bittersweet as it is,
It needs to be over.
I keep telling myself,
It has to be over.
It can't go on forever,
But I don't want it to be over.
Nothing lasts forever,
But what I'd give for this to not be it.
I'd give my entire future,
If only this wouldn't end.
I love...
And now it's over.
The rushing of nostalgia,
Because now it's over.
The hurting.
That's over.
The smiles, the hugs,
They're over too.
I am at the end of everything.
It's all over.
As bittersweet as it is,
It needs to be over.
I keep telling myself,
It has to be over.
It can't go on forever,
But I don't want it to be over.
Nothing lasts forever,
But what I'd give for this to not be it.
I'd give my entire future,
If only this wouldn't end.
I love...

That Was Love
The happiest few months of my life.
Those few months of blindness.
Blinded by all that you were to me.
At least, what you were back then.
You were so goddamn perfect.
Perfect enough to toy with me.
And I so foolish to enjoy every second.
And second by second, you took it.
Stole affection that you didn't deserve.
Every ounce of it, wasted on you.
That was love.
First, true love.
But I don't lose sleep over you.
No, I haven't given up on hope.
It might all seem worse in retrospect.
But the future will always be brighter.
So I...

Alone
You've all gone now,
And so it starts seeping,
That anguish,
Into me.
It's so quiet,
I can hear the buzzing
Of a fly
Past my ear.
It's so light out,
Summer birds are chirping.
But their song
Falls on me.
It's little comfort,
That infernal tweeting,
To one so
Grim as I.
I get spiteful,
In this Hell that I make
For myself,
In my mind.
Please forgive me
The shadow that I cast.
Let me be,
I'll let you.
I'm so hollow,
Every breath I'm taking
Feels pointless,...
And so it starts seeping,
That anguish,
Into me.
It's so quiet,
I can hear the buzzing
Of a fly
Past my ear.
It's so light out,
Summer birds are chirping.
But their song
Falls on me.
It's little comfort,
That infernal tweeting,
To one so
Grim as I.
I get spiteful,
In this Hell that I make
For myself,
In my mind.
Please forgive me
The shadow that I cast.

I'll let you.
I'm so hollow,
Every breath I'm taking

This Cage of Mine
I can't speak, for fear of speaking the wrong words
I can't be seen, for fear of being an embarrassment.
I can't act, for fear of showing myself a failure.
I'm all bound up in unfounded fears.
The bars formed from my cowardice.
They make this cage of mine.
An outcast from the onset, I was, by choice.
A wretched hateful creature, I was, by choice.
Cynical, loathsome, creep, I was, by choice.
I'm tied to the reputation I fostered for myself.
My hands have fashioned a very personal hell.
I built this cage of mine.
'It's all an...

Dear Bright-Eyed Dove
From my wire cage, I spy thee,
And spy a kindred spirit, for sure.
Caged, thyself, in misery,
A sour fate for one so pure.
Resigned unto this hellish place,
I feel 'tis where I must truly belong.
But for one such as thee, and of thy grace,
A disgrace, this place can be naught but wrong.
To see thee imprisoned, as I,
To know that thou pays such a price,
Has me look upwards unto the sky
And curse the Lord and His injustice.
From my dreary cage, I gaze upon thee,
Dear bright-eyed dove, Dearest friend.
And I pray for thee and...
And spy a kindred spirit, for sure.
Caged, thyself, in misery,
A sour fate for one so pure.

Headfirst
Hard to say what made it happen.
Or even when it happened.
Feels like all it took was a smile,
And then I was falling, headfirst.
For neither of us was it intended.
Nor even was it expected.
But you went and you smiled.
And now I'm swiftly falling, headfirst.
And I often wonder if you know,
Or maybe not, y'know?
That ever since that smile,
I've been cascading, falling, headfirst.
And I often wonder where I'll land.
In your arms or on the ground?
And then I think of the smile,
And I'm carelessly falling, headfirst.

Waiting
You know,
No matter how long,
No matter how much it hurts,
No matter how strong my urge to come to you,
No matter how much I think you might need me now,
I will wait,
Because you need some time.
But remember,
No matter how 'stupid',
No matter how alone you feel,
No matter how useless it might seem to ask me,
No matter how much bother you may think you're being,
I am here,
Because I love you dearly.
I will be waiting for the moment you need me,
Until the moment you need me,
And forever after.

Ten More Seconds
This hug.
Your warmth.
The comfort.
Give me ten more seconds to hold you.
That smile.
Those eyes.
Your glow.
Give me ten more seconds to fall for you.
The joy.
The belonging.
My heart.
Give me ten more seconds to love you.
The agonising,
Bittersweet,
Parting.
Give me ten more seconds of losing you.
Just ten more seconds of losing you,
Before you're gone.
Your warmth.
The comfort.
Give me ten more seconds to hold you.
That smile.
Those eyes.
Your glow.
Give me ten more seconds to fall for you.
The joy.
The belonging.
My heart.
Give me ten more seconds to love you.
The agonising,
Bittersweet,
Parting.
Give me ten more seconds of losing you.
Just ten more seconds of losing you,
Before you're gone.
