half a person


bear witness to the birth of broken promisesas the truth escapes an honest man breaks and im always getting worse at keeping words can’t erase the things that my anger brings can’t erase my striving relationship with loss agony i was taught moral standard has been maladjusted and senseless acts reinforced anything to forget the painthe agony i was taught becoming everything i never wanted to be, somehow until i close my eyes and just fade outjust fade out my soul slips outout the back door to the city streets i can only hope for things to get better but they never do if i never make it home tonight the streets have swallowed me whole love to love to love to love you, but fuck it love, i couldn’t cut it.

On That Bird In The Cage

My girl, my girl, tell me why you look so sad.
Has the sun finally set on us?
Have you come to long for another's hand?
There's a feeling inside me that somethings leaving.
Like someone stealing salt from sea.
Left me sinking and left me thinking how to keep you caged with me

Because I need you like air to breathe
Just to hold you.
o' I hold you.
o' how I hold you.
I hold you down.

Down with my insecurities
down with my hypocrisy down with my pathetic pleas
down instead of setting you free
to find your happiness with or without me.

So untie your feat, reattach your wings
so you don't have to open your throat to sing.

Because if it's you I love, then from you...

I'd walk away.

And your face:
on every leaf
of every branch
of every tree.

a penny for a thought

sometimes i wish i could go back to that age where i was an innocent little girl. nothing bothered me. the world was kind. the simple things in life amused me. just me in my own little world.

bffl

my blood runs through your veins, a bond that still remains

try to love me if you can

God, I feel like hell tonight.
Tears of rage I cannot fight.
I’d be the last to help you understand.
Are you strong enough to be my man?
Nothing’s true and nothing’s right.
So let me be alone tonight.
Cause you can’t change the way I am.
Are you strong enough to be my man?
Lie to me, I promise , I’ll believe.
Lie to me, But please don’t leave.
I have a face I cannot show.
make the rules up as I go.
try and love me if you can.
Are you strong enough to be my man?
When I’ve shown you that I just don’t care.
When I’m throwing punches in the air.
I’m broken down and I can’t stand.
Will you be strong enough to be my man?
Lie to me, I promise , I’ll believe.
Lie to me, But please don’t leave.
