Love me just the same

If I lied

or made you cry

or didn’t try

would you still love me just the same

 

if you were alone

and never known

pick up the phone

and there you’ll see my name

 

a text

who knows what’s next?

always perplexed

every day is a new game

 

you say

we’re made to break

there’s no escape

I say I’ll take the blame

 

I dream

of you I scream

Cordelia

Fire fills her eyes

is she real or just a dream?

i will never know

 

like a precious rose

petals dripping with fresh dew

once again pitch black

dripping with pure loneliness

rose springs up again

 

so the humans live

living, suffering, repeat

beautiful green leaves

but thorns strong and vengeful

 

you have no idea

of the horrors that await

only a few months away

in the dead of winter

 

but when spring comes again

so do you

your petals grow back

your dead thorns grow alive

 

so continues the circle

that encompasses life

you live, you suffer, ...

After The Life

Tick, tock, the seconds pass

as time continues to amass

what happens when your time is done?

has your legacy just begun?

 

everything you ever say

will come to meaning alive someday

and everything you ever do

will leave a tiny piece of you.

 

you may think that simple word

was nothing but a phrase

but that little girl you complimented

will remember that all h...
