Pills and Textbooks
You are reverting backwards
to the drugs and one night stands
of your youth.
I'm moving forward
trying to make my way through school
maybe this should be a sign
that it never would have worked
it makes me sad
and shed a tear
on the textbook pages
to see you falling backwards
when I tried so hard to pull you forward
when you pop those pills
do you see me in your hallucinations?
are you drowning yourself in smoke to forget
the way I devour the pages to forget
with those words
you loaded the gun
with that kiss
you pulled the trigger
I see a smirk on your face
you're not sorry
for what you have done
for the blood you have spilled
and the pain you have caused.
I think you have been wanting to do this
all along
I love you
was just a lie
leading up to this moment
Things aren't perfect in paradise
I call on you to crush the serpents in my garden
But you took a bite of that apple
and then you saw clearly
saw I wasn't worth it
I wasn't what you thought
The angels took you away
I fear I will never see your face again
I'm trapped
surrounded by snakes
That apple proved too tempting
That apple was worth more than me
My heels have been bitten
and now the poison allows me to see clearly
there is no more love on your face
was it ever there to begin with
This illusion has been shattered
the one where you would love me forever
you are moving on
saying goodbye
goodbye
the mirrors have been shattered
and all I see is a man
no more tricks to dazzle me
this illusion has been shattered
the one where you love me forever
there is nothing up your sleeve
you have told me everything
I now know the cards you hold in your hand
you have a queen of hearts
that you have been holding onto
she doesn't have my face
the magic is gone
the show is over
the curtain closes on you and me
the illusion of me and you
has been shattered
forever
goodbye
goodbye
I know your lies now
You were my superman
but now you have begun to let me fall
your cape grows faded and begins to tear
I didn't know superheroes could retire
seems you prefer the simple life
catching a girl who walks to close to the edge
seems silly now
"let her fall
it's her own damn fault"
why don't you just push me
superman superman
you'll always be my superman
seems though you are turning to a life of crime
should have let you go while your were still a hero
instead i slowly watch you transform
into a villain

Saying Goodbye to a Fallen Soldier
I have won many battles
but it seems I have still lost the war
I fought for you so valiantly
And you have given up on me
The hardest part is saying goodbye
I'm wounded never to recover
But I'm still fighting even though
I am clearly losing
whats the sense of holding on
when you have already let go
saying goodbye is the hardest part
what do when you have too much love to give
what do you do when your heart is full to bursting
how do you live
when your love is divided
spread to thin
too much love
in all the wrong places
if i could gather up my love
and put it in one place
i would
or maybe i could just learn
to not love at all
a heart of stone
cannot feel the pain
that a heart torn and stretched can
