21

Your body is your home

Your body is the only house 

that you'll ever own

It's got some broken windows

and blood stained floors

and its holds many hidden things

behind many hidden doors

There is wisdom in these bookshelves

and laughter to light the room.

Your body is a temple

do not lead it to its doom

Your body is a temple

the only one who can heal it

is you

22

The sun still shines when I'm alone

I lose my mind and you lose control

I see your eyes look through my soul

Don't be surprised-its all I know

I felt the highs and they felt like you
A love like mine's too good to be true
And you're too divine to just be mine
You remind me of the color blue
Girl I'm so in love with you

23

All these words come pouring out;

Pain

It falls down my face in streams of agony

Silence comforted by a quiet sob 

All these words come pouring out;

Grief

Each tear a reminder of the times you cried

and I wasn't there to hold you

All these words come pouring out;

Regret

It trembles, spilling onto a lonely pillow

I never stopped loving you and you'll never know

All these words come pouring out;

Fear

It rains on these sleepless nights

I'll never know the truth

All these words come pouring out

But my mouth doesn't speak

All these words come pouring out

and you're not here to wipe my cheek

24

You longed to be endless like the sky

Stuck in the pursuit of beauty

Trying to find yourself

In a world full of falsehoods

25 

Your bones pressed against

your skin so hard 

you would think that

they were simply dying 

to scream out their secrets

to whomever cared enough

to listen

26 What an amazing View

I dont know how to hide my feelings for you.

You're my best friend.

We watched pink and orange

melt into the sky as the sun set.

You leaned over the water tower,

overlooking our washed up town

and you smiled.

"What an amazing view"

Then you looked at me,

with those gentle eyes,

and I thought to myself

What an amazing view

but I just smiled at you.

27

You always wanted

your bones to show

and i never understood why.

When a hug

will snap you in half

and the summer breeze

we once adored

will blow you away.

People wont love you more

when there is less

of you to love.

28

You showed me your scars

expecting me to run off

but little did you know

I was going to show you mine too.

We were closer than we thought.

29 

The moment you get knocked down

is the moment that it counts.

And the moment you lose yourself

is the moment you'll be found.

You can see the world so much clearer

when your eyes are filled with tears,

The only way to not be afraid

is to learn to face your fears.

30

I said I was a writer

and you gave a scheming glance

You wanted to live forever

now you'd found yourself the chance.

You made your way inside me

Clawed right through my veins

Cursed me to write about you

until I drove myself insane 

You wished to be the hero,

the lover, the light

But Darling you're no savior,

but the unforgiving night

You wanted to live forever,

but you'll burn out like a star

Now the world will know forever

of the monster you truly are
