The Puzzle

Open your heart

let it speak to you

Open your mind

let it think freely

Trust your gut

It's never wrong

Living a dream

Illusions of the mind

Hurt by love

Infatuation

Holding on

To What's already lost?

Let the pen flow freely 

Let it tell it's own story 

Let it draw it's own perspective 

Of the world that was

Of the world that is

Of the world that will be

Of the world that will never exist

Question my integrity 

Question my loyalty 

Question my every move

Because I don't trust me

Cry for help

Laugh for strength 

Close your eyes

Live in your imagination

Life

We can never fully comprehend

Music, My Other Language

Strumming your strings

Such sweet pain indeed

Holding tight to sound sweet 

If I let go there will be no hum

If I let go there will be no tune

If I let go there will be no song

Hold you close

Yet not so close

Hold you tight 

Yet not so tight

Hold you right

Strum you right

Let's write out my story 

Through the chords strummed from your strings 

Let's string together 

Let's make music forever

I am afraid

To take it all away

I am afraid

To try and make my way

Will I stand?

Will I sway?

I need to know..

Can I make my way?

See, what you took

Rather, what you have

Rather, the part of me you own

Is the only thing I need

To make my way out

Of this forsaken world

Of hurt and pain

Obliteration

Robbed

Robbed of my father

Robbed of my mother

Robbed of my sister

Robbed of my brother

Robbed of my family and friends

Alone

Empty and scared

Hollow and wrecked

With a void I seek to fill

With solace tears

With silence and darkness

With retrieval and denial

But fear brings me back to reality

Taunting and maddening

Fear of the silence inside

Fear of the illusions in my mind

Fear of the haunting sleepless nights

Fear of the memories of what is gone

Gone

Goone

Gooone

Go...

Now...

Leave me alone

No...

Wait...

Come for me too

Why did you have to leave me?

Am I that undeserving

That death loves others more than it loves me?

Take me as well

Take me where you took the rest

Take me now

I beg

But please make it as painless as sleeping.
