Inhale,
exhale,
and inhale again.

Blood rises and quickens.
Rushing,
like the resin abducting my oxygen
and holding it hostage.
The smoke before me
that twists and dances and
duplicates,
making love to the air.

I look at these strands
past a foggy haze of uncertainty,
wondering how they fit together
even better than we did
when they are not
tangible bodies.

The strands, they don't hold a heart or listen
to each other breathe as they fall asleep.
And I wonder how this smoke,
how these **** dead wisps,
love each other better than
we did.

You fed my dreams, like a needle feeds my pain, through my broken veins:
A silver bullet to my heart, your lies ripping me apart.

When I turned, looking for your burned,
bruised, broken words, in a noisy world,
I found silent screams...
same as when I'm waking from bad dreams...

Except when I called for you, you ran.
And when I waited,
my patience lashed, ripping the seems of my skin;
until my love bled out, like it had never been.

                                       You just keep walking. I'll stay. Plant my skin. Water it with this blood. I'll grow. And, I'll love.
                                        Maybe someday you'll see me. And, maybe someday I won't feel, you.

I gave you all I had
I tried to make it last
but now all we have
are memories from the past.
look me in the eye
and tell me what you see
a girl so broke inside
who's been through misery
and I wonder how you do it
how you can just sit back and watch yourself hurt someone
without feeling any guilt
but now I am just an empty void
with no desire to want to love again
because now there is only the fear of ruining
what I have tried so hard to build up

My knees shake and my legs threaten to give out from under me.  
My face burns as I remember the gentle words you spoke to me.
You're oblivious, and it won't ever be the same.
It was a dream.
A dream that ended so fast.
I woke up with tears of regret,
with a sudden realization.
Fairy tales don't exist.
And I should have known that.

morning has broken
i see the light in your eyes;
i don't quite see you.

Sorrows in the Night,
set me free.
Sorrows in the Night,
rescue me.
My escape,
eternal embrace,
weeping on the floor
I see your face.
You tear me apart,
with no light,
nothing to hold on to,
except my Sorrows in the Night.
