Not Enough

I give up on everything.

Don’t care about a thing.

Acting like I’m okay.

So tired of smiling the pain away.

Not sure I can take it.

Not even for a little bit.

Stabbed in the back.

What is it that I lack?

Feeling pretty low.

Where’d the love go?

I’ll say that I’m fine,

Living so divine.

Just another cover.

Only so you won’t hover.

No more acting strong.

Not when everythings all wrong.

I know it’ll be alright.

Just maybe not tonight.

I need a little time,

And something to call mine.

Give me a moment to heal.

It seems all too surreal.

One Breath

If I had one last breath left.
What would I say?
Something sweet, oh so sweet.
something for you.
To you I'd say,
You make the sun shine,
when it rains.
You make me smile,
when I'm crying.
You're the calm,
In the middle of the storm.
You're logic,
when I'm crazy.
The air I need,
when I suffocate.
Listening when I rant.
I'd say to you,
that I love you with all my heart.
I promise we'll make it through,
Nothing can stop us now.
I'll give you my heart, my soul, and my body
Forever.

Three Part Harmony

The walls are the only ones to hear my tears,
no one see's this fake smile
thats been holding on for all these miles
I feel like I'm losing you
and I don't know what to do

I feel all these temptations
They're creeping up on me
I can already feel the sensation
Razor blades do for me

I'm starting to realize
All of this was nothing real
You told me nothing but lies
I'm moving on
To someone so much better

The Silence

Silent tears fill the night
Only the walls can see
The hurt and pain that’s inside
No one can see her heart break
For all the tears she sheds
Another pill she will take
Silent tears fill the night
Only the music isn’t keeping her alive
No point in living
If no one cares
It’s not like she matters
The face he doesn’t love her
Is just unbearable
Silent tears fill the night
As she holds the razor to her skin
She thinks maybe he’d notice
She sliced and the crimson poured
How her life could have been
 But no one will know,
She thought he would care
If he knew she cried
For him in the night
Would it matter?
That she died for him?
-Michelle Dawn

Shadows Play Life

Isn't someone missing?
Doesn't any one notice?
I've been gone for so long.
In my place, this loving shadow.
So fake it looks real.
I've been so alone,
I'm here without you.
But it was what you wanted,
When your words cut me to peices.
These wounds you've made,
They just wont heal.
I try to say you're gone,
but my heart wont believe it.
So I'm stuck here waiting,
While my shadow plays life for me.

Logan Barrow

Heart starts to flutter.
Head starts to spin.
Knees begin to shake.

When I'm with you,
it's all I can do to think.
All sanity leaves my mind.
pure, white hot passion.
Love straight from the heart.
Not based on logic.

I've always wanted,
but never found.
Now I understand.
It was never a soul mate.
Never my other half.

Never let you go,
my perfect other half.
Adorable, perfectly imperfect,
ginger.
Never meet another.
We've bonded so well.
No one understood me.
Until you.
I love you.

You and Only You

Heart skips a beat
Cheeks burning red
Butterfly's racing
Toes curling
Eyes Sparkling bright.

These are the things you do to me.
Haven't felt like this,
In so long now.
No need to move too fast.
There can always be a future.

Getting to know each other,
is the best part.
The flirting and the giggling
The seriousness and playfulness
all the stuff we have in common

It all makes for a great relationship
We'll someday have (hopefully)
Don't want to rush into it
Don't want to force a thing
Though, nothing so far has been forced

For once I'm not pushing it
I'm letting it come and
I actually like you a lot
You're a fantastic guy and
I'm lucky you like me
