Staring into space, what is this place?
 
Starting a test early and still finishing late.
 
The world is cold, being happy as a kid and depressed when I'm old,
 
I already see it, the house I die in being sold. Will i haunt the ones

They said the world is ending but that's because people are so close minded and never bending. Social media has control of people of all ages.  
People posting this and that but all this will be fading.  
Who cares what your eating or whose wearing what ; turn off your screen and talk to me front. 
Movies and music have changed for the worse.

Why can't I ever look good in your eyes.
Images and memories just flashing by. 
I put in so much effort 
But to you it doesn't matter because its not perfect. 
Alone you treat me like dirt but in public you bury all the hurt. 
You show people you with your mask on 
Afraid to reveal what's really going on.

Love of My Life

Like a baby sun in the morning
And a new moon at night
So is her look — so nice and innocent
 
Through her heart, I can see the world
She is the one, who makes that perfection
She is the one, who corrects those wrongs of mine
She is the one, who never left

There are tears I have to cry, But why do I always cry them Alone? It makes no sense, cause when someone else weeps and Screams, I'm always there to smooth Ragged seams and turn their bad Dreams into good.

"Love at first sight",
what a beautiful lie
Love is an acquired taste
much like beer or whiskey or wine

1...2...3..4… I count the amount of letters on the posters in the room.

15...16...17… the amount of tiles on the ceiling.

80…81….82… the number of bricks on the wall.

I count.

Have you ever thought about a simple touch,
How it can say a little or mean so much,
Reaching, searching, night or day,
Caring, loving or just to play

She can remember, the days they walked down the beach
Two boys, one girl, six little feet
The girl showing her, all one had found
one boy, enjoying, just running around

All in a day`s work lamented by time;
The mystic breath forever loathing,
That the tyrant sun will rise and shine
Bringing fresh evocations and victory song.

When love sails our wandering light through the high seas,
Contending raging waves nor the stormy winds at full throttle;
As the sailman does steering the ship fraught with nervousness,

In the genesis of man,
Love was free and real.
God wouldn't think twice before bestowing blessings on us
But since we've betrayed Him,
He, seemingly, hasn't been trusting us
