“…though the heavens fall”

We believe our words

We see it in the distance

The perfect place

We can’t help it

The mind bends

And our will is broken

The cycle never ends

We can’t help but coexist

This misery tastes too sweet

We’re stuck in the beginning

Looking through a swinging door

The smell of simplicity sticks to our souls

We know we can’t to both

We can’t keep holding on

And letting go

Where were you?

I was there when she left

To keep you strong

To make you happy

I was there when you faltered

To keep you steady

To make you believe

I waited for you

When I was alone

When I was in pain

I waited for you

When I was troubled

When I was distressed

A long time passed before I realized

You were never there

And you never would be

It hurt to wish for you

I lost myself in the mist

For missing something that doesn’t exist

Begin again

Maybe you don’t have to try so hard

Maybe your words won’t make me fall apart

Tell me you love me

Tell me you’ll leave me

Today I stand

Today I am more than sand

If you stay, we won’t change

If you stay, forever is today

Give me a reason to make you delay

Give me a reason to begin again

If it’s enough

To make you stay

I will love you forever

As I love you today

When stars shine

I couldn’t have dreamed you up

Even if I wanted to

I never imagined you existed

How could you be real?

I won’t stop talking

And you just listen

I pick fights

And you behave

I burn your toast

And you love me anyway

I sleep soundly because I know

You will never let me go

"Let justice be done..."

It is not my place to do so

I cannot doubt

I cannot decide

I can only reflect upon what comes to mind

They say the world isn’t sad

There is no good or bad

Dark and light collide

And in the gray they hide

But they are wrong

It doesn’t matter if we’re strong

Remorse doesn’t keep evil at bay

It won’t make the nightmares go away

Can people change?

I wouldn’t find it strange

But that’s not what gets me by

That’s not the hope I had to find

To feel like it’s over

I need to stop the anger

To feel like I’ve won

I wish justice to be done

Justice has no mercy

Payment is the key

Justice feels no pain

It only shows your stains

Bunny suit

It’s not about who I am

It’s about who you believe

The sea that seems calm to the seal

Is turbulent to the penguin

And beautiful to some version of me

Everyone gets a piece of me

Most of them get a similar piece

There is no doubt if all notes coincide

It's just a way to entrap

To show the seal

Or let the penguin collapse

Some people are wolves

Others are sheep

And they all lie

Who am I?

I guess that depends on who you ask

A new version of me

There is no version that I love

Some versions are better than others

Most are annoyingly plain

I pretend they’re bearable

Like water to moisten a dry piece of bread

The book is sad

Telling a story with no direction

No hope, no beauty

A few failed attempts at a happy trail

But the pages are all I have

They say nothing of interest

Yet I find solace in the emptiness of their words

A small rush as my fingertips brush against each page

Searching for something to entertain

The song between the noises

I don’t care about the ending

Expecting change is an illusion

I just want to see the final page

I just want the story to end
