I am only a pigment,
a line,
a stroke,
in the grand scheme of things.
But you are the light
that touches,
that highlights
and contrasts the dark.
You are the subject,
the context,
the background story
of the masterpiece itself.
I am only the medium
that is used
to paint your brilliance.
Cover me.
Spill the colors.
Until I am filled
with brilliance
and wonder.
It's time to bring to light
the problems we tried so hard to hide
It's time to admit to the wrongs
and to remember the rights
and it's time for the regretters
to stop regretting
and for the haters
to stop hating
"It's a dangerous place out there"
they said
but it's only dangerous
because we made it to be
We filled society with ideals
things they need to be
bringing people to their weakest state
And we try
we try to rid of our ways
but not enough
Not enough
It hurts when I see a picture of you
because a picture isn't enough
it can't contain your beauty
not an ounce of what you're worth
Videos are better,
they show you living
breathing
laughing
the way you were
the way you stared at me
as you whispered our 'always'
how the quiet
never seemed so loud
how my heart hurt
every time I thought of you
I wish I can paint you,
the way you appear to me
so you can see your beauty
and all you're worth
If only I could bring the stars together
and spell your name
so everyone would know
how much you mean to me
To have you with me for one more day
To hear your voice
see the tears in your
I sometimes feel like I've picked the wrong path.
Like I should have taken a right
instead of a left
or I should have went forward
instead of back
One by one,
these regrets start piling up.
And keep piling
until I can no longer breathe
no longer see
till all I see
is darkness
with no company of the moon
to shine down on me
I no longer know
how to rid these regrets
deep inside of me
I know only to keep them hidden
deep,
deep,
in a place where no one can reach.
One by one,
these regrets start piling up.
And keep piling
until I can no longer breathe
no longer see,
till all I see
is darkness
with no company of the moo
The horrors that begin to form
it's not something I would ignore
It's hidden in the dark
hidden in you
Hidden somewhere I would never think is true.
Cause you see
we're one in the same
we're all afraid of things
we can't explain
so
let's take this
one step at time
and see where it'll take us
further down the line
I'm fighting a war
that I'll never win
So take me apart
before I turn to shreds
Cause you're knocking me down
and spitting me out
Calling me names
why is this now?
Cause you're afraid
I'll take it away
from you
I can't see my way out
I'm fading out
It's what you're doing to me
I can't even breathe
The cu
I feel lost
that the ground has swallowed me up
leaving nothing
but a shell.
There's a ringing in my ear
a noise I cannot place.
What is it that you want?
I want it to stop
I want this to stop
I want to close my eyes
and feel the darkness take over.
I'm too tired
too tired to fight
to fight back and win
so I'll just lay back
and let it take over.
Goodbye.
The rain is pouring
and all I hear
is your voice
whispering
telling me,
the words I've been waiting for.
all this time.
I want to run to you.
Run and pick you up
and cover you in kisses
but nothing will bring us closer than this
I just hope this is enough
you in my arms
our hair stuck to our faces
the rain running down our cheeks.
Careful not to break you.
I bring you in.
"When your heart releases,
you won't fall to pieces."
Dear my beloved,
Remember that night we spent,
gazing at the stars?
We walked by the park,
took a ride down the stream,
without a care.
The clock struck twelve,
the flowers bloomed
the kisses began.
The sun is coming.
You left me behind
Left with these feelings
with nowhere to go
A crash
and a burn
I wish I made you stay
but fate took control
and now I'm alone.
Dear you,
why did you leave?
My heart starts to break
from the advice you give
and that's all that takes
for this heart to break
for these tears to start
I want to find the strength
to tell you the things I've been hiding inside
but it's somewhere down deep,
in a place I can no longer reach.
But I want you to understand,
I want to trust you as much as you trust me
I want to have the strength to say the things I've wanted to say.
The strength to tell you everything's going to be okay.
because it is
because it will
I hope one day I can find the strength to say
all the things I've wanted to say
When I say you standing there,
I couldn't help it.
I teared u
The darkest of nights,
with only a light
to show you the way.
There on the street,
lays a boy with his feet,
twisted in such a weird way
There's blood on the floor,
let me show you the door
so you can go on your way
There's nothing to see here
That's not you over there
so go home and go away.
