I had no choice
But to put it all in a box
It was the only way I knew
How to do
What I knew most be done
It’s buried now
That immeasurable grief
That anger
Maybe a hint of regret
If that box
Ever somehow seeped
I’ve no idea
If I would survive

Those years ago
I have no idea
How I opened up
And let her in
No idea how
I let her hurt me
the way she did
But those holes
In my walls
In my armor
I found them
And sealed them closed
I won’t hurt again
Not like that anyway
Epilogue
The trick is on her though
I kept a piece of her
Trapped inside of me
No matter how far she goes
I’ll have a fragment
Of a love that…
that shouldn’t have been
but was
maybe
only for a moment
maybe
lasting a lifetime
and into the next

You’re stronger than you think
And I know you’ll survive
Even the things
You think that you can’t
But I have to pull away
Because the one thing
That you cannot survive
Is me because of who I am
It isn’t that I doubt your love
Or that there’s any question
About the intensity of mine
Love was never our wall
We were each other’s poison
As much as we ever were the cure
But the scales were never balanced
Always hurting more than healing
Don’t forgive me
Even though you’ll say
There’s nothing to be forgiven
No… don’t forgive me
Survive me

inPerspective is such
a funny thing
She thought I ran
Never looking back
I thought she pushed
Needing me gone
Maybe
We were both wrong
And neither knew
Maybe
The earth just split
And ripped is apart
Maybe
Life just happened
And hurled us away
Maybe
It doesn’t matter
The results are the same
All I know
Is that here I stand
Cold and alone
At oceans edge
Looking for messages
In bottles that never come

The way my hands bleed
Every time I hold onto you
I swear I try to not let you go
But the blood
it’s just so fucking slippery
Any every time
you slip through
my bloody hands
I lose more of me
than I lose of you
I wish I remembered
how to cry
How to let go of my demons
And maybe then
just maybe then
I could finally learn
To hold you the way
You deserve to be held
And never fucking let go
of you again

inSomewhere lost
Between heaven
And hell
We fell into
Some dark
Kind of love
Filled with bloody lust
The kind between
Hungry snakes
And angry dragons
Leaving behind
Jagged scars
Stuck between
A tide that pulled
And demons
That only knew
How to push
We lost our way
And now all that’s left
Between that heaven
And that hell
Are words that never
Should have been
Left unsaid
