Uncovered Wrists

There's something hidden deep down.

~ Uncover. ~


The secrets you keep,
          A cause my lack of sleep.
                                                               I feel coldness slip
                         Up from my uncovered wrists.
I'm standing on the
           edge.
        You like me hanging on
                    thread.
I feel you s l i p p i n g into my mind.
                                                                      Are these thoughts really mine?
                                     I wear elegant gowns
To mask scars where I hit ground.
     Crown s h a t t e rs once again,
But there's never an end.
                                            I suck air into my lungs,
                                                                 Tasting poison in your tongue.
I drink it all uP,
Clutching lies           from the cup.
You make me lOOk
                                   down
                               From the edge. A reminder I'll drown.
I stumble          back. Youpushmecloser.
                  My wrists grow colder.
There's static in my ears,
A thinning ledge holding me here.
I look uP to gray clouds.
                             You push me
down.





You push me down.







And I breath.
I breath.

The secrets we keep, 

      Cause our lack of sleep. 

                      We're s l i p p i n g into our mind. 

Your thoughts are mine. 

Echoes

We're forever chasing echoes from yesterday. 

~ We're aching. ~

I've been chasing echoes that bounce off porcelain walls.

I hear them through the marble caverns, taunting my withdrawal

From all that I have vowed to store deep away.

They're bringing out the voices that lead me to stray.

I say that I won't let them have power over me,

But they echo with such a false, tempting security.

Because I like to chase that sparkling glimmer of hope,

But they're just getting ready to tie my rope.

I think I can hear them louder and clearer now.

Maybe I'll finally reach the dreams that were drowned

Once before by unfortunate chains of events

That condemned me to desire all the echoes prevent.

It will be like before, and we'll repeat the past,

Exactly how it was the first time, making it last.

The echoes are nearing and I know they'll be true,

And finally allow me out of this maze I've construed.

I'm just falling deeper into this thick labyrinth.

The echoes sing sweet tunes until I'm convinced.

I've come to terms with how the end will be.

So, I'm chasing echoes as echoes just consume me.

No Words

The best feelings are the ones in which there are absolutely no words for.

 ~ You just know. ~

You've got me feeling like I'm in a haze,
At a loss for words of how to say,
So many things going round in my head,
But I've gotten lost in the words unsaid.
I've never felt like this before.

I look up to catch you looking at me.
And I feel the gaze even as mine leaves.
My face reddens and I feel like a kid,
Certain of something, but afraid to admit.
I've never given up this much power.

I turn around afraid to hold your gaze
Because I know you'll make me smile.
You know how much I hate to give in,
But you'll make it worth my while.

I don't know what it is.
I can't even grasp it.
There are no words.
This has never happened.

Your fingers are the missing piece
Of a puzzle creating the whole of me.
Time and time, we intertwine so easily.
That's why we can never really leave.
I've never given up this much freedom.

I look up to that look on your face.
I know what you're thinking.
I turn around afraid to hold your gaze,
I still feel like I'm dreaming.

I don't know what it is.
I can't even grasp it.
There are no words.
This has never happened.

I'm at a loss for words, and I can't describe this.
I'm at a loss for words, but the feeling is timeless.
I can feel it in the air, but I don't know what to say.
You feel it in the air, enough to know it's the same.
I'm at a loss for words for the first time.

I don't know what it is.
I can't even grasp it.
There are no words.
This has never happened.

I'm at a loss for words, and I can't describe this.
I'm at a loss for words, but the feeling is timeless.
The feeling is timeless.

Bravery

Everyone knows someone who has suffered, or maybe they have suffered themselves.  At the end of the day, they've made it out alive.  They've learned what braver really is.

~ Look up because the sun will always be there. ~

How far we've come.
How fast we've grown.
There were so many demons on the way.

They tore us down.
They held us back.
We finally realized the choice was ours to make.

We've seen things
Some couldn't dream.
And there were days we didn't want to try.

We've been to hell,
The kind they made.
We got so lost inside our own minds.

We took the scars,
And all those bruises.
We used them in a new way for inspiration.

We embraced the faults
That plagued us once.
Finally learning perfection was overrated.

And we triumphed.
We made it out
Of the deep depths that kept us up at night.

Now we smile.
Now we shine.
Even though there's no such thing as completely fine.

We take it day,
By day, every day.
Knowing it's our bravery that helped us come back to life.

Tragedy

We're condemned to repeat the past, if we refuse to remember it. 

~ We've said it's the end a thousand times. ~

There's one thing that has always been in the back of my mind,

Filed so far away like a history text.

I've kept it there thinking it'd never come in time,

So full of dust I almost forgot.

But I saw you again with that look on your face,

And I let myself remember.

I thought we'd know when to stop coming back to this place.

You always make it harder.

I closed my eyes and it all happened like a dream.

I keep feeling your soft lips on mine.

Kinda like a movie but more like you're a tragedy.

I feel you pull away.

You pulled me in with those eyes and forgot all obligations.

It was just like a dream.

I've been falling quite some time, but you pulled me into complications.

I can see the tragedy.

You pull me in just to push me out like time and time again.

I should have expected it.

I believed all you said because I'm hanging on your thread.

Where did that get me?

Now you know it's beyond repair so you leave it carelessly,

Hoping I'll pick up those pieces.

I've been dreaming for a long time, but it wasn't worth it finally.

I hope you chose honesty.

I keep feeling your soft lips on mine, wishing it was a dream. 

I know it's time for an ending. 

You aren't the one I thought you were like from all my dreams.

You're just a tragedy. 

Burnt Out

Bright lights that shine overhead seem so tempting at first. 

~ Don't be fooled. ~

I've gone back to the place we first met

With those street lights shining overhead,

And dreams to pick up where we left.

It would all be just like we said.

I went back thinking it'd be the same,

But it won't be when so much has changed.

We know sweet things can never stay,

Not even to be saved for warmer days. 

I went back with too many expectations,

Forgetting our ill-fated past on rotation.

I've been living in this poisoned sedation,

Rudely awakened by new complications. 

I followed those lights not looking back,

Believing we'd finally be on a safe track,

Pretending we didn't know what we had.

We fell back into the spells of the past.

I got to the spot where we first met.

I thought I saw shining lights ahead.

I held those dreams since you left.

I thought I saw shining lights ahead.

But all those lights were burnt out. 

Commit

Sometimes we think we can have everything we want, but that's not fair. Eventually, we are forced to make a decision and choose what matters to us the most. 

~ Games are only fun when the rules are fair. ~

You say you want to be with me,

But baby I think I made it too easy.

You think you want a relationship,

But you don't like commitment.

What is that supposed to mean?

You still wanna have a ball.

Baby, you can't have it all.

I can be jealous, babe.

You know I'll make you pay.

Baby you gotta commit to reach my heavens, I, I 

I know I'm such an angel but if you want me you gotta try, try.

Baby, I'm talking commitment and if you want me you gotta die, die.

You gotta commit.

You gotta commit.

You're seeing stars, think I'll stay.

You never mean what you say.

Promised I'm your one and only,

But some nights you get lonely.

When are you going to change?

You said it many times .

Baby, I've made up my mind.

I can be jealous, babe.

Commit now or I'll make you pay.

Baby you gotta commit to reach my heavens, I, I 

I know I'm such an angel but if you want me you gotta try, try.

Baby, I'm talking commitment and if you want me you gotta die, die.

You gotta commit.

You gotta commit.

Why do you want what's on the ground 

When I can take you higher?

I'll tell you it's all over now,

Unless you forget your other desires.

Show me your heart's really in it.

You just gotta commit.

Baby you gotta commit to reach my heavens, I, I 

I know I'm such an angel but if you want me you gotta try, try.

Baby, I'm talking commitment and if you want me you gotta die, die.

You gotta die, die.

You gotta commit.

You gotta try, try.

You gotta commit.

You gotta die, die.

You gotta commit.

You gotta commit.
