My goodbye
Its my time to go from this endless situation,
I will have no contemplation,
In my decision to leave,
my love you will never retrieve.
I have fought the battles of distress,
I must confess,
It causes me to feel alone,
And anxious inside,
The feelings you cannot revive.
You say you're lost, that your mind is numb,
Did you ever consider what was to come?
You have deepened my soul to struggle,
Did you ever think I was in trouble?
Or did you think about yourself,
And only what you could help.
I just feel like I'm out of...
I will have no contemplation,
In my decision to leave,
my love you will never retrieve.
I have fought the battles of distress,
I must confess,
It causes me to feel alone,
And anxious inside,
The feelings you cannot revive.
You say you're lost, that your mind is numb,
Did you ever consider what was to come?
You have deepened my soul to struggle,
Did you ever think I was in trouble?
Or did you think about yourself,
And only what you could help.
I just feel like I'm out of...

Meant to be?
I can't catch my breath,
I'm hollow inside.
Tears keep falling,
Is this what's meant to be calling?
My heart now broken in two,
Whatever can I do?
My soul, that I cherished so much,
Now weak to the touch.
My body now shaking,
Was it meant for the taking?
My mind is the one meant to be taken,
Is it meant to be?
I'm not sure as I can't see.
Was it all just a dream?
I left, gone I said,
Is this where I was suppose to be lead?
Now regretting those words,
Now worlds apart,
I don't know where to go,
I...
I'm hollow inside.
Tears keep falling,
Is this what's meant to be calling?
My heart now broken in two,
Whatever can I do?
My soul, that I cherished so much,
Now weak to the touch.
My body now shaking,
Was it meant for the taking?
My mind is the one meant to be taken,
Is it meant to be?
I'm not sure as I can't see.
Was it all just a dream?

Now worlds apart,

His life
Just one more hit he said.
To escape his reality was his plea.
Lost in the transition of life, having so many strikes to his head.
Bubbled up confusion, was it all just an illusion?
He thought to himself, this may be the death of me, but I don't care as I will make everyone aware.
Pain was the reason he always stayed the same, too much in his mind to feel any different.
The numbness and tingling had taken its toll, as he created another roll.
Angel dust and weed will succeed to what he needs, the pleasure and the pain was all the same.
As he watched...

A routine
Is this what has labeled me?
One small pill, so tiny and pink.
Is it what prevents me from what i think?
Do I take it for all my mysteries to disappear, and have I taken it in fear?
Is it right for me to want to live without these thoughts, of what I have been taught?
Am I suppose to try and stay sane, while keeping away all the pain?
That's what the doctors say, but what if I told them about my day?
Would they want to lock me up and throw away the key?
Forever forbidding me, to hear my own pleas?
Trapped in my head, I reach down and unscrew the...

What she sees
When she looked in the mirror, she didn't see beauty.
She only saw the ugliness that crept inside.
She didn't see that her eyes were the color of the ocean,
after a long summers day.
She couldn't see that her lips, the color of crimson,
were ones that people begged to kiss.
She could no longer see that her hair was spun of pure gold,
only the ones that touched it could be told.
She only saw what she wanted to see,
her eyes being no longer looked into with love,
her lips no longer feeling the warmth of another,
her hair no longer drawn...

I hate that I still love you
I hate that I still love you.
I want it to all go away,
I want to not try and fake a smile.
I want to be free of this pain, of which is so hard to explain.
I want to be able to look at myself, and say that you are good enough.
I want to not feel like I'm in a prison, of my own inner thoughts.
I hate that I still love you.
I want to be able to see, that it wasn't just me.
And I was a good person to you, even though it seems like it wasn't true.
I want to be able to escape my obsessive behavior, questioning what I did wrong.
I want to not...

Just one crayon left
There was a box filled with colors, everyday the children would draw and tell untold stories to themselves. They used the vibrant colors like the yellow, the color of the sun, the blue, the color of the sky, and the green like the fields of grass they painted their canvas with. There was no need for one color, the only color that still had its sharp point, never used, the grey. It was a color mixed with black and white, the colors that you can't see if you aren't looking at them just right. It's color was simply just dull and filled with no life. Only way it would be used is if someone...

No longer....
Just like the stars in the sky, our love fell beneath our feet.
The midnight moon had spoken it's last word, and the reasons were unknown.
The path now lit from the light above, the emptiness of the love now crept away.
Just like the redwood tree that stood alone, years withered away, would we ever see the light of day?
The shadows that came up and over the hills, were like memories that would always haunt you and be never ending.
My love was no forest anymore, just a field of grass, plain and empty no longer full and luscious.

Poison
Her poison coursed through his veins,
not only he could refrain,
from loving her so,
until it was time for her to go.
Poison that was undeniable,
moving through his heart,
until it faded to black.
The kind of poison that wont stop,
until its got what it wants.
Taking over the mind,
so he could no longer find,
the simplicity of being a man,
something he could not stand.
Her poison had moved through,
now she had to prove,
that her poison would someday be rejected,
by someone she never expected.
not only he could refrain,
from loving her so,
until it was time for her to go.

Someone who...
Stay strong,
Keep moving on.
Not everything is meant to be,
Can't you see?
One thought of forever,
Make sure it's someone clever.
Someone who won't make you cry,
But will allow you to fly.
Someone who won't tie you down,
But receive your love all around.
Someone who will be there for you,
Without waiting for someone new.
Someone who can understand,
Life does not always go as planned.
Most of all someone you can love,
Being fearless in all of the above.
Keep moving on.

It's gone
You no longer felt the same as me. My heart now alone to feel the despairing ways of loneliness. How was I suppose to feel, it just seemed unreal. I thought we would always be together, that it would be forever. By myself to live with the thoughts, that happiness just can't be bought. My mind is lost, I'm trying at all costs, to feel whole again, never will I mend.

The night
The night crept in, like a shadow in the wind. The sun had set for the day, no more children at play. The loneliness of the moon, filling the sky, how was I suppose to not cry. The leaves no longer in bloom, I sat alone in one room. Thinking about my feelings of the season, was there a reason? The darkness of my mind, matched the trees that lined the horizon, ongoing and forever, was it going to get better? My soul now has a hole, things were not the same, who was to blame? Was it the feelings of emptiness of today, where I could no longer say, that my heart belonged to me, when was I...
