Breath When There Is No Air Left

When the world is cracking and shattering around your deaf ears
Pull me close, let the truth cut your lips to bloody ribbons
Breath in the air and exhale smoke, 
grasp my fingers before you falter
Call on the spirits of this hell, 
hope for something that never existed
Slow down, watch your dreams drift far beyond your fingertips
Hold me tightly when your prayers continue to go unanswered
When the end comes, remember that I am 
a simple human breathing in smoke
But never forget those three special words 
cutting my heart to ribbons
Whispered upon your deaf ears 
amongst this cracking and shattering world
Breath when there is no air left, let me go 
when there is nothing left to believe in
As your body crumbles, look upon your dead savior, and never forget
This is but a story waiting to be written, 
my heart is a simple organ made for living
As bloody lips collide, as the world shatters around deaf ears, 
here we are, entwined

Just Your Hand To Hold

I saw that smile you gave to her
Warm and inviting like a summer evening
But my days have begun to shorten 
And the truth is beginning to tarnish
I remember the special look you used to give
But I haven’t seen that smile in such a long time
Please don’t do this to me again
For I won’t be able to rescue myself this time
My wings were burned many seasons ago
With three simple words whispered by you
~
I would give the moon to just have your hand to hold
Let us meet in our secret garden and forget the world
But the shadows of night are creeping ever closer
And the lark sets flight against the scarlet sky
~
I saw that smile you gave to her
I remember when you showed me the same
But I haven’t seen that smile in such a long time
Please don’t do this to me again
My strength is trembling, I cannot hold on forever
I would give the world to just have your hand to hold
But I haven’t seen your smile, in such a long time
Now that we are over, your smile is but a memory
Living is simply existing in a world without you

For: Me - From: My Favorite

Babe, I let you have my heart, 
Fluid and yours to take.
If you only knew, how many times I walked away from love,
From peoples emotions and others hearts,
I saved it for a girl,
One who I call my love

I could hold it back,
I could walk away,
But only toward destruction-

I need and want your breath and 
I want you to share your love with me
I want your honest words,
The thoughts you’ve never spoke-

Spin and weave your words together,
Strong and tight to warm,
My heart, desire and passion
Otherwise what was all this for?
I’d rather have just one kiss for my whole life,
If I had the truth and all of your thoughts
Than all the passion and affection, and
One single, lie

Please, for my soul, and the sake of me,
Please tell me the truth,
Tell me what lies behind your eyes,
And split your thoughts into,
Pieces that I can hear-

I love you polar bear,
I love you babe,
I’ll stay with you, if you’ll hold me through the storm
This life wasn’t meant to be lived,
It was meant to be died,
I need us to quit living for each other
And die for the other
