Verse 1
To-day,
I've looked into myself.
Your - way,
Will always make me better.
I - know,
You are the one for me.
What - can,
I do to make you see?
Chorus
Burned the house down
with a match called lies.
On an adventure to see
beyond the skies.
But girl, believe me,
I am NOT O-KAY.
I must look deeper in myself to-day!
Verse 2
I pulled the trigger
on the gun - you - hold.
All my excuses
were just get-ing o-ld.
Verse 3
But no more blame,
head's hung in shame.
I can't con-trol---- it!
-Chorus-
Verse 4
I - vow,
To make you mine once more.
But - how?
When your foot's halfway out the door?
Trust - me.
I know it's h
Verse 1
The fear covered up
had been plaguing me for ages.
My limited heart
kept us locked away in cages!
Bridge
I can't explain how much I love you.
No matter how loud I shout.
But I know that I need you.
You're what this song is all about!
Chorus
Baby, don't leave!
Stay here with me!
I'll make it worth your while!
Stay here with me,
and baby you'll see.
I'll be, the one to make you smile.
Verse 2
Forced to sit back and watch
Memories covered in dust.
Follow me once again,
and I'll gain back your trust! (I know I will!)
-Chorus-
Breakdown
You've heard all these words before.
But now they mean so much more.
I'm miser
Run away in fear,
leave me far behind.
Your makeup runs from your eyes,
but it isn't the first time.
You love me but you can't;
and I'm supposed to understand?
At least have the common courtesy,
to alert me when you can.
I know that I have problems,
and it forces stress and sleepless nights.
So tie my knot a little tighter,
and I'll be gone before the morning light.
I miss you dearly, and you know it!
When we're together we blatantly show it.
So when love comes to you,
and it's all in your face,
and you just want space?
Well it's going to waste.
A possession so coveted,
by a particular boy.
A boy hurt in the past,
now a man,
had a reason to go on.
Word spread of a treasure.
A treasure of words,
only to be passed to to one
another by words.
It was fate that led to him.
Fate that made Fridays
a day to look out for.
Fate that made parties
not a waste of time.
A slur and a smile
traveled thousands of miles,
and somehow reached the
gate to her heart.
As he found his way through,
stunned more than he knew,
he saw the true beauty,
the true image of all that is good,
locked away in this fenced paradise.
As he went further in,
and got closer and closer,

Counting syllables like days
I thought the last day would be yesterday,
And I thought that I would never come back.
But here I am, sitting in this chair.
Can't get enough of what's gone forever.
The class is getting smaller now.
The days are getting shorter, how?
To come back to class, and sit on
my ass, because I can't let go.
I don't want to leave yet.
The time passed too quickly.
I can't help but wonder,
Will anyone miss me?
Up on the stage,
I'm scared as hell.
Goodbye high school.
My time has come.
I feel the ripple
effect on the tile.
I want to jump in.
leave this class
room of restirctions.
leave this free world
and enter a free life.
A life of no limits.
But limits itself.
Swimming up and flying down
Dreaming awake and thinking silently.
But silence is loud in
a life that is free.
Euphoria, impossibility.
That's why dreams are only dreams.
Done sleeping, and thought up consciously.
Swimming down and flying up
Tile is tough and limits are laws
A life of science without reason, just fact.
A free world under fire, undercover, under wraps.
For a year.
we were a picture frame bursting as it hit the ground
we were the sound of a match igniting and making your eyes water
we were the thrill of jumping off a trampoline
and landing into pricker bushes
As loud as a train approaching a tunnel, but
quiet as a squeak from a flip-flop when you lifted
your foot.
We fit together like a rusty gear in a new
factory.
We fit into a hole like a stripped screw.
The prize always waited at the top of the hill,
and we always ran out of gas
My heart grew as it shattered and hers quickly
mended.
But by a different repairman.
Mine has yet to be looked at.
Silky black hair and volume turned up
has small quarrels with her shoulders below.
With eyes so verdant,
they make vegetarians starve.
Scar ridden wrists,
laces freely grabbing the ground.
Her lips conform so politely,
as they can almost kiss themselves.
Her mind is an ocean,
with no visible horizon.
But her hands are a gateway to warm, sandy beaches
and I grab them to form castles and bonds.
When she can get mad,
a wildfire breaks,
and the green eyes turn to red.
Looks like I need to become a lifeguard.
The calm streetlights
on the cold evening stick.
Has the bitter weather brought
old habits down with it?
Looking back on my days, friends never turned.
Throats never coughed and clean smiles attracted many.
So much for all I had thought I learned.
A non spacial continuum
in which events occur.
Irreversible succession
from the past to the future.
Is it a system
to reckon or to find?
Or simply just a number
just to trick us in our mind...
Intervals and numbers
only cause confusion.
But out of all the classifications,
Time... is just an illusion.
Just a Breezy day in Ohio,
couldn't have picked a better date.
Our new planned life with no doors,
just her and her mother.
Started out great, stayed up late.
Nights took her on by surprise.
When marriages break, relationships start,
but nobody was quoted on that.
He intruded her life, took over the place,
put all his shit in her poor mother's face.
Bond broken, fights stirred. Girls hurt,
hurt like an indescribable feeling of being rejected.
Drugs took the lead, changed all of their lives.
Backseat driving wasn't enough for her.
Kicked out that door that didn't even exist.
The single life with mom was over.
Tears came down li

Laptops made for laying down
Three hours make time,
Good poems don't rhyme.
Two people meet,
too many words.
Stories exchanged,
Friend rearranged.
Finally said hi,
too many words.
We will be tight,
Everything will be alright,
Laughing at my cheap jokes,
too many words.
Looking ahead,
Laying in bed.
Text me at 12,
too many words.
We're gunna be good,
Good friends like we should.
I'm glad I said hi,
just enough words.
