The Someone I Want
We all deserved someone
Who brings out the best in us
Who loves us for our imperfections
Who helps us anyway they can
Who will always be there for us
Who can be our best friend
We all deserve someone
We can actually have a conversation with
A meaningfull conversation
Someone who just holds us
Someone who calls us beautiful
Instead of hot

Didn't Say Goodbye
What would you do if I left?
Would you miss me?
Or would someone else?
Would you call out my name?
Or leave someone else standing in the rain?
Would you be in pain
And call yourself the blame?
If you never saw my face again
What would you do?
Would you realize what I see
Standing in my shoes?
Would you wonder where I went?
Would you try to get me back?
Now that you knew what you lost?
If I vanished
Would you become sad and cry
Or would you wonder why?
What would you do if I left
And you didn't say goodbye?

Who Wants To Wait Forever?
Who wants to wait forever?
For everything that should -
No, could come true?
Fallen stars emphasises the weaker:
The fralighity of existence
And even that which remains
Almost
Imperishable
Shining facades of material brilliance
Cloud conceived reality
Who wants to wait forever?
For conflicted affection to appear
As if forced by an unknown hand?
Weariness and fatigue
Gain strength through
Treacherous journey
Called down from spacious skies
Arises knowledge of Forever
But, what is forever?
And who waits forever anyway?

Shades of Grey
The pencil
Swirls and twirls
Along an unknown path
She reveils
In the feeling
Of making a masterpiece
Lead covers her hands
A metallic gleam
A picture is forming
Shades of grey
Entwine on the canvas

Bleeding Still
Distorted vision
Through a clear glass
Rainbows bounce
Through cut crystal
Untouched by cloying black
That spreads through
Like a wild fire
Veins of red bleed out
Making butterfly wings
Stars descend
Angels freefalling
Embracing a dance with the devil
Vines with thorns
Tear through illusions of thought
Of freedom
Eyes of blue
Eyes unblinking
Stare at you as if dissecting
Warmth from the fire
Slowly gives up in the midst of snow

Bittersweet
At first a blessing
Then a curse;
Joys and happiness weaved
Throughout anger and despair
Twisting paths test the ability
Of those who have accepted and
Venture forth
Encompassing strength and
Flexibility of those in question
Leading down to several moments
Give up the happiness
The gentle caresses
For a life without one another
In the hope you'll find one better suited
Or become entwined forever
Staying together until nothing but
The end of the world can separate you
Facing challenges and obstacles
There are is only one road you can travel

What Do You Want?
You watch them walk down the hallway
Hand in hand
They are happy and it shows
Your heart longs enviously
Your mind urges you away
You know the bad
But there's always a flip side to the coin
Your heart's been broken
But before that we're the good times
When you were hand in hand
When you were holding and being held
Confusion is infuriating and irritating
But you want that feeling again
The butterflies in your stomach
When you look into his eyes

Was It Worth It?
The ground runs red
As the rain falls down
What to do now?
Everything I've known is gone
My old life
Old world
Washed away
Like the burnt remains
Of my childhood house
That I stand before
Do the means justify the end?
I can't help but ask
Was it worth it?
All the battle fields
Where the smell
Of death and gunpowder and blood
Still permeate the very air
Children grieve with their mothers
Who have all lost husbands and fathers
Uniforms made of grey

What Happens?
What happens
When we don't say what we want too?
What happens
When the world sits a waits
For a fate that has already been decided?
When a kingdom finally falls
When death sweeps across the land
What happens?
Do we feel the tears fall?
Do we feel the fears the follow?
Those unnamed who sweep under the radar
Unknown to us
And as numerous as the raindrops that fall
What happens
When a scream goes unanswered
Or when silence is met with silence
When stars collide
Do we feel it?
When someone's last whispers echo
Through the unfilled air

Let's Let Go
Let's let go
Find something's beautiful
The music box plays
Over and over
Buried lockets
And broken keys
Scattered across the ground
Remembered kisses linger
Sealed scars
And fresh wounds
Past etched into skin
Silent sorrows overwhelm
Let's let go
Find something beautiful
Do something worth doing
Find an ever-after
