Hit. Hard.

"Never has she been
here before. It's low, low, low.
And her only chance
of surviving is giving up
all she's got, all she's
ever known, all she holds dear.
Don't be surprised if
she's down for a long time. When
you take a blow like
that, it takes your whole life to
recover. . .let go."

And More

He said that I was an angel to him.
He said that I was everything he had never known before.
He said that I was different.

He was everything I'd already had, and I still wanted more.

I Kept His Secret

The treasure I've discovered within you is beautiful, beautifully hidden.
There's a gold mine within your heart.
And one day, I will tell you.
But you must discover it first.

I Guess She's Just Afraid

Why is it that lightning always strikes just before I fall down?
And why does it never fail to rain as I struggle to get up?
Air never felt so slippery.


"When you put forth your
hand, it surprised me. No one
has ever saved me."

When the Dust Finally Settles

This hurricane never gets old,
never gets old,
never gets old.

Wind is My Friend

I think you heard my heart.
You see why I lash out and rebel against the fraudulent sacrifices of these lies.
Never would I put my life on the line if I didn't believe and know the truth.


...and now you see.

Silver Fails in Comparison

I find myself here all too often, at the bottom of the barrel, with this impossible regret. What's it going to take to be on top again? I think I'm an expert faller.

But remember those of us who fall still have a heart; we still have drive; we still have passion. We've still got what it takes. We're just not afraid to fall.


"And though it's all been
taken away, I am no
less of a person.
If anything, I've
gained more than you'll ever know.
It's my own secret."

Yellow Roses

Maybe.
Maybe one day I'll understand your love for me.
It's something I run from, and it's something I embrace at the same time.

"And like a drum beat
you consume me, there is no
rhythm, no tempo,
no melody, no
harmony without you. Please
don't stop the music."

Red Wood, Blue

I want so badly to believe there is good in all of us.
More than that, I want to believe there is good in my own heart.
But I have my doubts; and sometimes, my doubts get the best of me.


"It's not so much my
innocence was stolen; it
was bartered for guilt."

Red Jell-O

I just wish you could understand.


"Never have I felt
so unaccepted as when
you laughed in my face
because you don't have
dreams like I do. And that's not
an excuse. It's fact.
I pray you find your
smile again. And when you do,
remember my eyes.
They'll be the only
ones that won't turn away in
desperate hours."

Between Death And Life

I just need more time.
And then I'll have enough courage, and I won't scare you away from loving me.
We could be beautiful. Oh, we could be beautiful.

Who Told You Every Disaster Was Beautiful?

Save me from myself.
I'm so afraid I'm going to tear this fragile little life by the seams, and when it is found, it won't be able to be put back together.
Broken. I am broken. I will always be broken.

"Vodka won't fix this
kind of broken. Yet it will
numb it, however
it pleases. And from
there, I'll stumble across the
courtyard into an
unescapable
paradise where birds sing and
bow down for the sun."

Not Kidding

I don't know if there will ever be a day where you won't judge me for all the things I've done.
The silly thing is I'm okay with that.
