I miss the things I used to do.
All the carefree things from childhood.
What happened to that life I knew?
...

You gave me hope the day we met
Yet hope was lost the day I let
That touch from you slip from my reach
And only now I truly see
...

a tear

a tear fell
...

Come now
Dry those tears
Just wipe them away
Away from your face
...

I try and try, but I can't go to sleep.
Night after night I'm just lying awake,
Stuck listening to some loud kitten's weep,
Or to that tired breathing sound all cars make.
...

If I died,
But then came back.
What would I look like?
What would I be?
...

You were always there for me
When times were very bad;
No matter what the situation was,
It was you I always had.
...

...

...

You—
It wants.
You—it needs.
You—give it strength.
...

...

...

The feeling was there,
But now it is gone;
What started out fair
Just ended up wrong.
...

...

When misery overwhelms me,
And the world I can not bear,
I help release my sorrows
Through slices here and there.
...

I live
He lives
She lives
We live
...

Maybe...
Maybe someday,
When all is said and done,
We'll get the chance to meet again.
...

I didn't cry
As I stood by her side.
I didn't cry
When I said good-bye.
...

When she was still around
My life was moving well,
But all that changed to where I now
Just haven't been myself.
