You're Terrifying

2 comments
I'm afraid when I'm lost in thought,
it feels as though I won't escape—not this time.

I'm afraid that I've made a mistake,
just one, but it keeps me from forgetting you.

I'm afraid that you cross my mind too much,
more often then once in a while.

I'm afraid that my best years have passed,
everything that I'm left to live may be a shadow.

I'm afraid of my potential, how far I could regress,
there's so far I have left to fall... Will I live it?

I'm afraid when the morning comes,
it could be the last... The last without you.

I'm afraid of everything around me,
but mostly...  I'm afraid of you.

My Mind Wanders

2 comments
It's 4:00am and I'm still thinking of you,
I don't know where you are, how you're doing.
No matter where you are in the world
I'll be thinking of you—I'll always be thinking of you.
You're miles away yet still I hold you in my arms,
the farther you run the more my mind chases after you,
At least when you're gone I get to miss you—
I miss you and I don't even know you.
From miles away I can feel your pain, see your dreams;
Your angst is with me, I can feel your desire.
I'm always with you, no matter how alone you feel.
Even if I'm not the who you want, I'm with you

How To Live

0 comments
Live through dedication and save your smile
for the moments that truly matter.
As a granite rock, live solemny,
motionless, near heartless with a thin human edge,
let it remind you, yes your heart is beating.
Look back through your own misfortune
and question your worth and value,
for in a second, value must be obsession,
And in obsession you must surive.
Through fair wishes, seek what's wrong,
not the humor, for error is all that matters.
Teach somebody how to grow old,
and they will grow by your side.
Smile together but only once,
and once again on your last day.
Realize you're all alone, but there's nothing wrong with that,
seek friendship and then tell them goodbye,
for you must walk your path alone.
Fall in love and never whisper,
for the words are timeless but your life is not.
Learn what it feels like to truly care,
and then learn what it feels like to live without.
Cry for your loses and then remember your
story so trageic, from your eyes only.
Find a true talent, let it guide your life,
then realize there's always one better.
Realize you're living your life through your mind,
die upon the alter of optimism; revel in the pessimism.
Ask yourself the timeless question,
And find your world shattered like glass.
Remain through countless hours, thoughtless,
as the world goes silent. Reminiss the things that matter,
and then have them leave you.
Find perfection absolute, and die knowing that you found it.
Die with pride and the courage to say your sorry.
