It shows me the truth of everything that I don't want to see. The scene of a murder is found in the daylight. The lonely child stands under the streetlight. The runaway teenager leaves by moonlight. Tearful wishes are made by starlight. So why does everyone say that light is so good? I think that it would be better if we were all bathed in darkness3 -- Light2 years ago in Introductions & Chapters More Like This

The Hollow CityI've got this feeling like I want to dance in falling ash. I want to revel in the rotting softness of it against my skin, in the morbid beauty of death. I want to lie down and make an angel in the remains of a once great city. I want to be alone in the ruins. I want to run through abandoned streets I own because no one else will have them. I want a broken place to hang my head and hide a smile because I know, eventually, the whole world will come to this.The Hollow City2 years ago in Philosophical More Like This

Told me I was rare
That I was special
Then a feeling came about you
Fear crept in
And I was considered scary
You pushed me away
Shoved me into darkness
Forgot I existed
But a light came on
I was honored once again
A new idea and new hope
Yet back I went again
I was considered dangerous
They knew I could change you
So I was killed
Forgotten and lost once more
You hated me
But what is this?
Your looking for me
Yes, you want me back
But why?
Yesterday I was hated
Today I am needed
What about tomorrow?
Are you going to leave me again?
Well are you?
Yes, I was right.
Yet again I am banned

I've drawn you a lot of times,

I've painted you wasting my eyes,

Tell me what I have to do to know you,
to get a bit of ur love,
to get more than a dream,
to get your nose rubbing my cheeks,
to get your hands
drawing your name on my lips,
to get ur fingers giving shape to my face,
stroking my loneliness,
stroking my fears.
Paint a star on my forehead,

The bunnies untie your braids.
Your hair looks like a hill talking to the sun.
Then I take water from the river
to paint your eyes
and put a rose on my brush to paint your lips.
The clouds help me to colour your face
and the sunset kiss your cheeks.
The song tells about your dreams,
each note is new
and my heart loves your song

It's sort of like an old and abused photograph--the edges are beginning to fade out, the paper is wrinkled, there might even be a rip or a tear in the last few days of the life of that little cherished photograph, and the tear just keeps ripping farther and farther open until the entire thing rips in two, and then it's unsalvagable.

Cool tile flooring, but your skin is burning.
Staring at the blank white wall, but you don't see a wall.
What you see, is everything that's gone bad coming back at you, screaming at you in the face. Your head pounds, the feeling of a thousand thoughts threatening to burst out, a thousand emotions at once.
You want to scream and let them out, but the fact

This doesn't feel the way I was told it would feel.
There's nothing effortless about it:
Love requires work.
There are no romantic words said in public:
Love doesn't need words.
There's no fluttering of my heart when you're near:
It instead falls into rhythm with yours.
There's none of that "I'd die for you" nonsense:
You already know I wouldn't let you.
But you know what?
I think I rather like this kind of Love,
If that's what this is.
I want to make an effort for you.
I want to love you privately, not for the benefit of others.
I want to feel secure around you.
I want you to live for me
Not die for me.

Is telling you "I don't love you"
I think the worst feeling
Is going to be as long as the silence between us
I feel the pain inside
And see the haunting glow in your eyes
It makes me want to take it all back
Pretend I never said a word
I could have just lied
Stabbed you in the back
Instead of in the heart
So rewind that tape
Or delete that scene
Just do a voice over
Fire the faulty actress
Who played the part wrong
She ruined it
Now let's give her an Oscar
For sacrificing her dignity up to this point
Working for the less unfortunate
Settling for the understudy
Now set her . . . well me up for my
