Sifting through pieces of me Left broken and forgotten Trying to find a piece of me I’ve… Looking for my spark Now dying embers

Irrational Fighting emotions Logical Fighting devotion Counting sheep

Dying a little bit each day I’m a… Yearning for your touch Like the desert yearns for rain Trying to pretend I don’t need yo… That I don’t miss you

When you want to sleep But the sheep are gone Lying flat on your back Staring into black Playing with shadows

Knowing how to feel What more is there to know? Knowing how to entertain What must I do to ascertain The feeble heart?

Sleepless nights Hot & heavy fights Slump over the couch Mumbling the words ouch! Give me some time

I listened but didn’t comprehend The meaning to my existence Is but an end To which there is no mean Gravitating towards starlight

Staring into your auburn eyes Wishing I could bathe in your lov… Dreaming of you when I’m awake My head spins whenever we kiss My Body quakes

Twenty five Afraid to live Afraid to tempt fate To want what others have– How sinful of me

Fighting immortals Men call fairytales Writing words with little meaning Trying to drown out the sunbeam gl… Radiating from within

Another yr older Throwing wind into the fodder Picking myself apart Stumbling in the dark Trying to find a piece of who I u…

Running into the eye of a storm Breaking promises that I’ve sworn Wearing a lightening cloak Picking up psyches that I’ve brok… Grey skies

Lifeless & alone Lying in a winter field of white My frost bitten skin Glistening in the light Lifeless & alone

Prolonging the inevitable Wanting this feeling to linger Succumbing to the infallible Feeling like we’re strangers Staring at me w/a dormant gaze
