Maddy
When we parted,
you took a piece of me.
A piece I will never get back.
You were more than a friend to me.
You were everything.
We almost lost you to the world,
unable to leave the path of dark desires.
And while you might have left me,
I am unable to let go.
I sit alone and remember us,
remember our long, joyous nights.
So you remember?
Because it seems like a dream now,
a distant memory.
What happened to that happy girl?
Where did I go so wrong
that you fell off the deep end?
Heaven almost gained an angel...
you took a piece of me.
A piece I will never get back.
You were more than a friend to me.
You were everything.
We almost lost you to the world,
unable to leave the path of dark desires.
And while you might have left me,
I am unable to let go.
I sit alone and remember us,
remember our long, joyous nights.
So you remember?
Because it seems like a dream now,
a distant memory.
What happened to that happy girl?
Where did I go so wrong
that you fell off the deep end?
Heaven almost gained an angel...

What to do when you're trapped inside your mind.
How to feel when the world keeps asking why.
Turn around, show them your smile.
They won't see your drown, be in denial.
The world will turn it's back if you show your vulnerabilities.
Keep your head up high and accept your insecurities.
When people ask, you're always good.
Be composed and proper like you think you should.

Enough
What is enough?
And why is it never?
What makes something whole,
but then we question whether?
Whether it's right.
Whether it's wrong.
Whether it's us.
Whether or not it's
Enough.
The Answer we long to know.
But never want to ask.
The question so simple, yet so hard to grasp.
We dread the truth but despise the lie.
Because deep in our being,
we feel it's no surprise.
You put on the front, but deep down you wonder.
Is everything I am,
Everything I ponder,
Enough?
Enough is a word,
so...

Saved
Let me catch your tear
like pouring rain.
Lightning dances in your eyes
while thunder rumbles through your mind.
The storm in you
crashes over me.
But I won't leave you caught
in the riptide of your own creation.
I can pull you out,
but I need you to let go.
You'll feel as if you're going to drown,
but I promise I'll catch you.
If you let go.
Let go of the hurricane in your heart.
Let go of the storm in your head.
I'll be here to catch you
and the tears that come along.

Her
Compare me to her pretty mind.
It's like looking into a foggy mirror,
where the only things I see
are the parts you feel don't need improvement.
Compare me to her pretty mind.
Cut me open and rearrange my insides
so that I fit your better mold.
Compare me to her pretty mind.
So the only thoughts that consume me
are "how do I become better than her?"
Compare me to her pretty mind.
Tell me that I need to be strong in who I am,
then list me the reasons as to why
I won't measure up to your relentless expectations. ...

Unknown
actions in bewildered masks
dance to the rhythm of uncertain masquerade.
attempted desires lurk in the once-lit facade.
unraveling images in haunting memorabilia
commenced in the deafening sound of silence.
Unnerving thoughts in bittersweet content
walk through the cobblestones of deliria.

The stars within my mind
The stars within my mind call out to me,
guiding me through the vast sea of exploration.
Ideas orbit around thoughts
where thoughts revolve around memories.
The way my mind races like a
comet across the galaxy.
The stars within my mind lay down the path
to a new dimension.

They say
They say you really only fall in love once.
They say I'm delusional.
But that can't be true.
Because I fall in love all over again,
Whenever I look at you.
They say I'm infatuated.
They say "You're too young".
But how would they know?
Because whenever you look at me,
All I can do is glow.
They say he's just a boy.
They say he only wants one thing.
But they don't seem to see.
Because when he thinks I won't hear him,
He tells his friends how much he loves me.
They say that we're crazy.
They say...
They say I'm delusional.
But that can't be true.
Because I fall in love all over again,
Whenever I look at you.
They say I'm infatuated.
They say "You're too young".
But how would they know?

All I can do is glow.

Almost isn't enough
Somebody once asked me
What the saddest word in the English language is.
I immediately knew the answer:
Almost
They almost made it.
She almost had time.
He almost saved her.
They were almost in love...

The End
As the rose dies,
so does their love.
But was it ever really that
or feelings they thought were inside.
It's hard to determine,
but the wilting petals don't lie.
The stem felt her tears.
Colors disappeared.
As she felt the bittersweet kiss of the thorn,
she knew that time held her fears.
The sky fell low.
Darkness was near.
The clouds began crying weary tears.
What was the ending?
Was it something love could surpass?
The heart didn't know,
until the tears were like glass.
Falling more and more heavy, ...
so does their love.
But was it ever really that
or feelings they thought were inside.
It's hard to determine,
