Broken things require glue
Turn around that's you

Don't stand by and watch me break
This world needs NOT another fake

Take a moment to embrace me
Your touch will set me free

Pure hands infuse humanity
Deliver it just for my sanity

There is no mistaken identity
Inside you is my serenity

One touch ... a basic need I concede
My ache is now full speed

Do not make me beg
Press in and heal my plague

Today I ooze of selfishness
You are familiar with my reticence

Guilt draws near and whispers
Push past its tiny embers

My need today transcends
Straight from you, no bends

I lay curled up in a ball
Listen, do you hear my call

From you, I plead one task
One touch ... *it's all I ask
Some days I just need a touch to know that I am still living!

Maybe I died.
Maybe my heart couldn't take it.

What if I died?
When you left me for him?
Maybe I'm dead

I may be laying
Two feet under ground
While you lay in bed
Next to him.

What if it killed me?
And my heart gave up
Like you gave me up.

So this is hell?
It must be
Maybe I'm a ghost.

And I'm not haunted by memories
Maybe I haunt them

Was I that bad?
Is this the purgatory?
Did you mourned my death?

Are you even aware that I'm dead?

Maybe I died
Poisoned with kisses
Scorched by your touch
Shot with promises

Light

It's funny, how fast light is,
Passing by as if time had stopped itself.
spreading everywhere on everything in a brightness.
It's the only thing that can split the dark from the inside out.

It's warm,
It's beautiful,
And, it's a feeling of being safe.

Although, when everything seems so great,
Light still keeps on moving
Kinda of in the blink of an eye
It leads back to the dark.

I believe people have a way of spreading there own kind of light
Yet, we're more fragil.

People have a way to bring
warmth,
Love,
And that feeling of just being safe.

Only it's easier to break a bulb
Then it is to make one.
It can always be replace
But, it will shine a bit differently.

So really take a look at what brightens up your day
Because, before you know it,

It's gone,
It's cold,
And you feel alone.
Homegrown but hermetically sealed
from people, places, ways to feel.
Dropping a tablet on a tongue,
Korbel divides around pink sponge;
swallowing four or five, to avoid feeling alive.
There are cars leaving trails of thoughts.
Dare them to drive,
drunk on moments,
stuck on other people--
her freckles could fall to the floor
and turn the tiles into an oceanic remembrance.

-

We are lost trees, reaching out
but stuck where we say we'll soon leave:
rooted even after death,
relying on escape so much that hope
becomes our prison.

Reality over fantasy
I'd choose to believe in you
but fantasies are nothing but dreams
and dreams aren't the ones that come true
It's just something to help keep us moving forward
looking towards a better tomorrow
and before we get to old
we do all we can to reach for it
while looking back at what we've done
only remind us of who we are.
I choose to believe in you
because, what else would I'd rather do
then to at least see your dreams come true
by breaking the cycle
and living in the fantasy
by over taking reality.
And as a fool, I believe in you.

I'm hardly anything left
just a daze in a dream
you went your separate path
I walk alone on these streets
until I fade away
I'll keep shouting your name
hopefully as a reminder
for you to dream of us again.
