The Nothing

I look out in the darkness
But all I can see
Is the nothing
The nothing that surrounds me

I can hear the voices
Voices of the unknown
They come and go
Some are happy
Some are sad
Some angry
Others just don't care

I can feel their presence
As they surround me
And wrap me in their embrace
They pull me closer
And I feel their emptiness
And I feel their pain

I look out in the darkness
To see if I can find
This presence that lingers
And stays by my side

These voices that whisper
And this pain that I feel
I want to know who
And I want to know why

I reach out
To see what I can find
But to no avail
I feel nothing but the cold
There's no one there
Not a soul to be found

I look out in the darkness
But all I can see
Is the nothing
The nothing that surrounds me

Crushed

You took my heart
And you held it in your hand
You told me you loved me
And wanted to be with me

But with one squeeze
You showed me the truth
You were lying
Leading me on

You crushed my heart
With all your lies
I trusted you
And you tore me apart

I guess I'll never know
What true love is
I thought I loved you
But you deceived me
And proved it wasn't true

You took my heart
And held it in your hand
And with one squeeze
You crushed me to death.

On Your Own

I'm sick of playing this game
I sick of all these lies
I'm done
I quit

I'm tired of being broken
I want to be whole
I'm sick of being led on
With nowhere to go

I want out of this game
This stupid
Painful game
Called love

I'm tired of being used
Sick of being
Being the backup plan
In case she goes wrong
You could turn to me

Well that shit hurts
And I'm sick of this game
I'm out
I quit
I'm not playing anymore

You lied too many times
And kept too many secrets

You chose to push me
To the side
And keep me in the dark

Well I'm the light now
And your plan
Just went up in flames

I'm out
And you
You're on your own

Willing, Yet So Scared

I want to give
Give my heart to him
But the fear of pain
May be too great

I try so hard
But I’m still soo scared
Scared of the past
And what could
Happen again

I want to trust
I want to love
I want
To give it all again

The pain of the past
Has yet to heal
My heart
Is still in pieces

Is he willing?
Are you willing?
To put me together again?
So that I may
Give my all
Once again
Without the fear
Of the pain

I want to feel
The love again
The happiness
The joy

I want to share
With him
What I hide within

I want to be
The one he loves
I want to be
The one who loves him

I want to share my life
And be with him

But I’m

Willing, yet so scared.

Wanting And Waiting

I’m tired of just standing by
And watch as life passes me by
I want to do something
I want to be someone
I want something out of this life

I want the chance to choose
To choose who I want to be
Not to be pressured
By the people around me

I’m sick of this life
I’m ready for a change
Ready to move on
And become someone

Not this nobody
This nothing
That I have always known

I’m ready for a change
In the scenery around me
This darkness that hides
Everything from me

I want something new
I want something bright
I want to step into
The bright unknown
And see what that life
Has in store for me

I want to be new
Something that matters
Not the old nothing
That had not a meaning
Is this dark and dismal world
I have forever called home

I want a new home
A new life
A new dream
A new purpose
Not to sit here
And rot away
A fresh new start
Is what I await

I want to see
To feel
To taste
All the beauty
In this bright unknown
To feel the pleasures
And all the joy
Instead of this pain
This agony
This world I call home

I’m ready to see the light
And start a new life.
