It’s funny, friend
That this is the end
They say that we’ll mend
What do they lend
Unable to bend
Surely it’s a test
Wise words are true
What can they mean to you
Until you are through
With what you must do
It will soon be seen
Love is a symbol
Yours fits in a thimble
I may be nimble
But I suffocate quickly
I’m unsure of your way
But I cannot delay
Goodbye, my dear
Do not turn around
For I’ll soon disappear
I must live

But I cannot delay
Goodbye, my dear
Do not turn around
For I’ll soon disappear
I must live
My mind may be agile
But my heart is quite fragile
Your grip was too tight
To bare
When those words escaped
I already felt raped
Even if I was sure
I suppose that’s your lure
To be with you forever
To never leave your side
My dear, I can’t hide
The bile that rises
The stomach that tightens
The sweat that collects
Under my heart
You are certainly trying
But you don’t realize what
My heart is drying
You keep on lying
And now I can’t hear you
At all
My love was real
Your love had no feel
The layers did peel
Only to reveal
A boy insecure and alone
Sitting on a barbed-wire throne
Afraid of my words
Frightened by truth
On a mission to keep me
No matter the cost
And now he’s lost
But my heart is quite fragile
Your grip was too tight
To bare
When those words escaped
I already felt raped
Even if I was sure
I suppose that’s your lure
To be with you forever

Sitting on a barbed-wire throne
Afraid of my words
Frightened by truth
On a mission to keep me
No matter the cost
And now he’s lost
I see your soul, my dear
I promise you have little to fear
You’re pure and good
Beneath your hood
So stand very tall
Don’t be afraid of the fall
(Although, aren’t we all?)
Because though I’m gone
There is still a dawn
It’s your chance to soar
And get off of the floor
You can’t change the past
But you can change at last
So forget all the wrong
You’ve held on to so long
See the opportunity to grow
And finally show
Yourself who you are
You’ve come so far
Don’t give up now
It’s time to allow
Yourself to move on
Nobody won
Despite the war
But that’s what I’m for
To jolt you awake
Leave you to make
The choice that you will
So that you may fill
Yourself with joy
And finally be the boy
You are.

First love: a mess
I gave it my all
And I still do
Making choices
You never could
Loving you in
All the right ways
I gave it my all
And I still do
Making choices
You never could
Loving you in
All the right ways
Love is not a strangle hold
You twist my heart
I scream and cry
You tell me it’s alright
This is love, you say
This is love and we’re together
Together forever
Love is not a knife
To a throat
You shush me and say
Do not wake anyone up
This is not love
I love you so much, you say
I love you and this is why
I do this
Love is not torture
You curse and curse
Saying I do not love you
Because I’m doing
What’s right for you
You tell me I love you
I love you, you say
I love you which is why
I’m calling you all the time
I love you enough
For you to call the police
I love you, you say
Love is not a cage
You tell me it’s for the best
No one else No one
It’s us against them
I love you, you say
Which is why we must stay
Together
Only us
You say: I love you
As I cry and plead
Because you’re holding me
So tight and I’m bleeding
And brusing
And hollowing out
Love is not solid
Even the Earth will overtake
The sky scrapers
Eventually
Everything ends
And I realize I let you hold me so tight
And I realize that’s not love
I say, I have to love myself
I say, I love myself so much
So I must leave you
And stop saying I love you
And you keep saying it
And crying
And now you’re savage
And I’m healing
And yes, this is love
You twist my heart
I scream and cry
You tell me it’s alright
This is love, you say
This is love and we’re together
Together forever
Love is not a knife
To a throat
You shush me and say
Do not wake anyone up
This is not love
I love you so much, you say
I love you and this is why
