The Fall

God damn the beauty, and
God damn the addiction that comes with it.

Cold Ground

I bury my face in the cement.
These scratches and bruises have long been coming.
And every scar has your name on it.

Beauty Within Trees

I hate how you've made
me fall in love with you. Your
soft spirit makes it
so easy to fly,
to soar, to just be around
you. I wish we did
not get along so
pathetically well. I
wish we didn't share
the same kisses. I
wish we didn't have the same
passions. Because we're
not perfect for each
other. In fact, it'd
be the worst pairing of two
people ever. . .they
don't make matches like
this in Heaven. Because it's
what we want, it's what
we'd like, it's what we'd
wish. And wishes don't come true.
I can't tell you how
many times I've wished
for you. I hate how you've let
me fall in love with you.

Call

You don't understand everything that causes this deep, dark depression within me, but you understand that my heart is breaking. And ultimately, that's all I want.

Far, Far Away

Love me now.
Love me here.
Love me in this moment.

Everytime

Just so you know, that smile kills me. . .everytime.

"But I will always
be the one that you need and
not the one you want."

Object

I wanted you to love me, but all you ever did was use me.

Let Me Be

Let me be angry.
Let me be mad.
Let me sit here knowing every thought I'm thinking is so horribly bad.

Then I will praise You.
Then I will sing.
. . .of Your love and how it set me free.

Point

You used to be so precious.
You used to be whole.
Tell me, fragile heart, what happened?
Was it the fall that did this to you?
Was it the fall that broke you in two?

Let me hold you while you're breaking.
Let me hold you while you fall.
Let me hold you in this darkness.
Let me hold you and make you new.

Reverse

I wish you weren't so beautiful.
I wish I didn't love you so.
I wish you could see that there's something you've missed in along the way. . .

"Is it true? Is it
real? Or is it a mask you wear
so the others will
think you're real? Don't quote
me, but I think I'm starting
to see a side of
you that you don't show
too often. And I
don't think it's a mistake. I
think you've waited for
someone you can be
yourself around, someone you
can drop the facade
around and not be
judged, someone you don't
lie to because she knows the
truth. You see it in
her eyes. You feel it in her
touch. She loves you. . .you."

Mother

The stars adore you.
And the wind is only a
slight metaphor of
how I wish I could
capture your dreams and soar to
the moutaintops where
you could see them come
to life. The sun smiles down on
you, and this light you've
shone, will forever
shine in my life. You have made
the impossble. . .

possible.

Scottish

Why did you put your soul in my hands?
I want to love you.
And I want to trust you.

I'm getting there. It's not as easy as they say. It's not easy at all this way.

Kleptomaniac

You will always live on the tips of my fingers. No matter how close we get, you will never be in my grip. I will never fully have you.

"And for once, we shared
a moment. But it was a
moment meant not for
us. It was made for
another two--two who had
fallen, two who knew,
two who had given
themselves over to a love
that was not of them."

Sketch

You still move in my blood and beat within my heart.
You are eternally etched in my heart.
I carry you with me wherever I go.

I thought I'd lost you. I thought you were dead. But you live on in my art.
