You were my bridge to happiness
You were my mouth, when nothing came out
You were my eyes, when they were closed
You were my heart and soul
But now is the time
The time to say goodbye
You will have a part of me
Where ever I go
And I will have a part of you
With every breath i take
You will be there

Everyday i see blind, myself i will never find.
within me i feel out of date, life is always running late.
where did the future go,where did it hide?
finding who i am is a mystery, still trying to forget the history.
today is now, trying to break out of these dark clouds.
will i find where i need to be? i guess time will tell

I sit here staring into space
but all i see is your face

the memories that fill my heart
the still pictures a work of art

the thought of you tears at my soul
ive lost you now ill never be hole

the time has come to pay my dues
wish you could walk in my shoes

one things for sure you wouldn’t last
the pain inside from my past

you caused it all the pain the laughs and yes the tears
that all belongs to yesteryear’s

i thought i had moved on
and finally found where i belong

but every time i think the pain is gone for good
the pasts fire gets more wood

burning till pictures into me
so now i give give my final plea

leave me please alone broken
without any sore words spoken

Life…………
Sometimes you have to let go of the past and shame and move forward.
Darkness is overbearing, it taunts you and consumes your inner beauty.
Your world has collapsed.
You beg for help.
There’s no reply.
Do you relentlessly allow this behavior to devour your very soul or do you face the existence of life and set forward to a destination titled, “Future.”
I once believed it was fairly easy to feel emotionless and go about my day masked.

Today, my eyes awaken.
I take the rails of this ship and set my eyes upon the horizon.
I dream, how I missed this feeling.
I begin laughing uncontrollably, forgetting how the sound makes me feel.
Smiling.
Standing with my arms wide open, I allow the breeze to push against my body.
I feel. Oh, how I feel. This feeling, it’s contagious I tell you.
I look up at the sky, I swear it seems as if the clouds make out a butterfly.
I gasp, with my hand over my mouth and cry.
Cries of pure happiness. Butterflies have always symbolized beauty and being free.
My shoulders feel weightless.
“I’m ready.”

My heart is crying,
my soul is dying,
yet I never once shed a tear.
You’re all around me,
I’m glad that you found me,
but please, forget I exist.

For, I am on the verge of losing you;
Now, I’m lost and don’t know what to do:
This is no ordinary love, as you can see,
Because I’m falling in emotional agony;
My pride is getting melting like ice,
Since the moment you said love’s not nice.

Baby, don’t get me wrong,
I want to spend my entire life with you;
I don’t want to go back to being alone,
That’s something I just cannot do;
It’s hard enough to be me,
But not with you,
Because you fill me with gee.

How would I make it through
Will this ever go away
And I know that it exists, it’s true

When it arrives for all time I cry

When that moment seems dark
And you notice that I want to give up,
The pain bounds me as I scream behind the ark
My tears changes into blood, it falls into the cup.

Oh God what’s happening
Tell me why this is happening oh
People judging me and I can’t make it through, no
My life is upside-down
There goes the dark clouds all around
10 seconds starts now
Depression hurts
I’m encountering death somehow
It alerts, Goodbye.

Why are you with him,
why aren’t you with me,
i can only hope that soon you will see,
that your meant to be with me,
i can only watch as he treats you badly,
but i guess its what makes you happy,
in the end its all i want for you,
its just killing me letting him do what he does to you,
and all i can do is say,
I love you

Pretend you don’t hear them at 2 am.
pretend you can’t hear my cry.
pretend you don’t know what’s going on
pretend when I ask why?

So why if we all die in the end,
why do we pretend?
