He Steals

Cover my heart and zip my lips

you burn my soul like fire

Rescue me if you can

renew in me this desire

Clinging to nothing is taking its toll

spiraling for what seems, like eternity

Break the broken even more

kick them as they fall at your door

You say you have every intention

but you fail you fail you fail

Take this test of yours and screw it

throw off the ultimatum 

Cast your stinging clinging words

and bait em

Goodbye soul searching 

you never had a chance

He steals whats left of anyone

and leaves you without 

Take your time wherever you are

time heals wounds and burns and scars

Take your time and think of me

standing here, screaming.

Not now

You don’t have to be a jerk

I will go when you say go

I will go where I can never reach you again

when you tell me to

I’m not trying to irritate, I’m not trying to add sting to the pain

I just can’t help but talk to you

I’m yours till my breath is gone, I can’t change who I am with you

Deception is a dirty word, and you’re making mud puddles 

I thought you were better than this, I still think you’re better than this

I used to ask you to pull away, make me think worse than I do today

I thought it would help, I thought I’d know better

But you are the one that I need

I can’t stop these tears from falling, the tub is mixed with salt and despair

I only wish that I had just one picture to hold, 

is there a reason we never smiled for a camera?

Were you scared of what you’d see, did you not want a reminder of me?

Right now I need a reminder of you, green eyes, warm smile

The only protection I’ver ever known

I am open to be torn down 

You can’t be my security now, not now

Unrelieved

I called you up in a moment of weakness and now I’m feeling weaker than ever

You tell me you wanna be swept of your feet, the sooner the better

Where were you when I needed this? Why did you turn me away?

I knew what I wanted, I waited for what seemed like forever, and now here we are

What’s worse is where I am and knowing it will never change. 

Stuck in this place like a never ending, heart breaking, game. 

Will you be my savior? Can you reach me?

Not if your swept too high off your feet.

I’ve tried the ways they say

I’ve prayed the prayers they pray

You’re locked in my brain, a safe little place,

no one has a key, or the brains to break

Where do I run to? Where can my body find relief?

These sensations won’t rest till we touch 

But I’ll never even see your face

Need

What were we gonna do

with my head in your hands

and your feet off the ground

You weren’t gonna stand still for me

Am I losing my best friend

without finding a way around

This is life’s slap in the face

losing you without one last taste

We are and we were

we’ll always be

more than we are to me

you can be disgusted or you can care

I’ll never know the truth of how you feel

Give me something to focus on

I know I’m random

I’m sorry for the inconvenience I send

I’m losing my mind without your smile

I keep telling myself I can, but I can’t

Move on, move on, move on

the words spin like a storm inside my head

but my heart fights with fists held strong

There’s a battle going on in me

We are and we were

we’ll always be

more than we are to me

you can be disgusted or you can care

I’ll never know the truth of how you feel

Give me something to focus on

I need you to say something

I need you to hear me clear

I need your touch once more

I’m losing it here, losing it here without you

Fighting

I’m so weary of being where I am

I’m tired of waiting for what won’t be

I am the second choice in life

Everyone’s always choosing someone other than me

You’re supposed to be my chance

you we’re gonna turn it all around

I put my trust in you

Why are you letting me down?

I can’t turn away from this

I can’t write a letter and confess

I push back the urge, I fight to believe

and I dream of the day I am me

Where were you when it all fell down

why were you helping throw the stones

I may be naive, but I’ve chosen to see

things different than they really are

I can’t turn away from this

I can’t write a letter and confess

I push back the urge, I fight to believe

and I dream of the day I am me

Please, please

lift me up

please, please

show me love

I am drowning in thoughts of negativity

I’m losing whoever I am

can I be found?

can I come around?

Perhaps

I can’t win for losing with a loser like you Option isn’t valid Opinion is always fiction When will you see the truth?

I’ve gotta start thinking before I speak Will it make a difference at all? If I find myself in your chuck Taylors Will I find I understand it all?

For now I’m at a loss, I wanna bottle up my words Perhaps ill send them to a mime Maybe he can make them sound like they need to be heard

The course were on is slowly breaking me I’m turning to ice right before your eyes But your so cold you’d never know Till the fire has scorched the lies

So for now I’m at a loss I just wanna bottle up my words Perhaps ill send them to the President And you will believe what you’ve heard.

Perhaps, perhaps, perhaps. Perhaps.

If I find.

I’m fixated on the kiss, your lips, and where they take me

I’m just a beggar with a plea to rescue me, I’m lonely

Your rejection is a stab to the soul,

a lifetime of what if’s for me.

You said that now was not the time, maybe later

I stole your love anyway

Through miles and separation it strengthens

despite the lack of reason, I’m still fighting

I’m still holding on

It was never really there, and you were never really mine

Chased for a love I couldn’t have, because you can’t love at all

You fill your days with things, you fill your heart with faces

You chase the dream of being free

but you build roads to empty places.

I’ve deserted reality, just to capture you being a part of me

I’ve left a picture of you in my head

Courtesy love is what you gave, what was my number

and where was I on your list

It was never really there, and you were never really mine

Chased for a love I couldn’t have, because you can’t love at all

You fill your days with things, you fill your heart with faces

You chase the dream of being free

but you build roads to empty places.

That night you made me laugh, I thought my world was dim

you took me to a place I’ll never know again

The comfort of your arms is fading with the days

You can no longer provide me security, a peace with me

If I find you have settled, I admit my heart will shatter

I always thought you’d settle for me

I do like to dream

at a loss.

You weren’t there when I needed you
Now ill never know what it’s like To be able to speak freely To show someone who’s inside of me. There is a fear here
Building a wall of regret I was excited once Once I could really dream You had this tiny world
It fit in the palm of your close minded hands
My dreams couldn’t last in a world
Filled with eyes left  unseen to this girl.

You have words that cut me so deep
they rip apart the little bit that was left of me
I’m soul searching daily to better myself
but tears keep me from living

I’ve attached myself to a word
hoping to right things somehow
to stir up your perfection
is so hard
so hard for me
I’m at a loss.

you never will

I am so disgusted right now

and for once it’s not just with myself

Far from perfect I still strive to be

like Him, holy

I give at times too hard

and Yes, I still take too

All I asked for is a comforter

but all you give is who you already are

There is a myth or a fact

that says when you give you also get back

If I could fix me I would

I’d never ask for an ounce of you

Perfect as it could be

it never will be

Thanks to you, thanks to me

Swiftly

I could read the words you wrote again and once again

There is nothing worse than accepting we’re just friends.

Took the time to read a book

The characters name was yours

I can’t seem to catch a break

There was a time you really loved me

even then I wasn’t sure

Now the days run together

and I’m less sure than ever

I need some indication

Go on go on the earth it will

the world will continue to be

move on move on my life it shall

but this love I have stands still in me

Practicing a life of leaving you alone

it’s successful in certain ways

The beggar had a chance to beg

and the rich will never know what it means

you will never really miss me

Go on go on the earth it will

the world will continue to be

move on move on my life it shall

but this love I have stands still in me
