The Chaos of Wanting Someone

up and down
all around
falling and rising
crashing to the ground
flying through heaven
living ever so close to hell
voices of seduction
looks of friendship
touching with electricity
hugging with feared honesty
burning me alive
cooling my mind
driving me crazy
and loving every minute of it.

Today

Today I let myself admit I'm scared
and hide in the corner and cower

and go into the darkness to be consumed

and feel it course fully through me

Today I let myself lower my guard
and cried tears long past due

Today I let myself be myself
and now there's nothing left from it.

Alone

Sit in a chair
alone
People I thought were
friends
sit together but away from me.

Glass Heart

do you fear to fall

that will break you forever?

Glass heart
fragile and frail
beautiful and naive
do you dread the cold
that could break you forever?

Glass heart
fragile and frail

Forget Today

Forget today my tired soul
imagine you never said those destructive words
another person no longer sees your worth
but tomorrow brings a reason to hope

Forget today my tired soul
pretend you hadn't created your own downfall
you've lost the chance to make a friend
but there's always a chance to make ammends

Forget today my tired soul
wipe the tears that fall from your eyes
Love has once again overlooked our door
but one day her sweet face will be seen again

Forget today my tired soul
don't dwell on the pain that lives within
the clouds are bleak and the sun seems so far away
but I promise you someday we'll have our moment to shine
