A whispered warning sails on the breeze
Another death slowly falls from the trees
Crushed under foot by blackened beat boots
Leaves decay with under grown shoots
Bark without bite flakes from the trunks
Rotten and rancid tombstone shaped stumps
Red tinted earth the colour of blood
Puddles of danger cover the mud
Footprints are many leading away
But in my spot I'm destined to stay
A sentry stood here out of the light
A stalker of creatures that come out at night
For I am the man who sits on the moon
The dark side of course, watching earths doom
Another lonely tear
Contradicts the ones before
Leaving new tracks
Down worn skin
Glistening
Like morning dew
On a dying leaf
So familiar to the weight
It remains down turned
What's the point? We’re all born to die
get it over with, just say goodbye
life is but nothing, just so full of pain
keep getting up to be knocked down again
why fall in love? It will never last
how many times have we fell in the past?
Seems such a joke, to carry this on
in such a short time, all will be gone
blacker than black, this thing in my chest
just lay me down, forever to rest
close down my eyes shut out the light
I swear I tried with all my might
emotional hurt, leaves physical scars
in my blackened sky, I can’t see the stars
cut out the waiting, skip to the end
it’s getting too hard to stay and pretend
easy way out

Forgive me for not being perfect
God knows I tried
Forgive me for not being daughter you wanted me to be
Forgive me for all the times I lied
I never wanted to become like this
Forgive me please
Maybe I don't deserve this family
Scratch that, I know I don't
But I love you and I hope you still love me
even if I don't deserve your love
Forgive me for being ungrateful
For being cruel and bitter
I know you deserve better
And I'm sorry I couldn't become that
I'm committing crime hoping you'll forgive me one day
I'm sorry for being a mistake
But I no longer can take this pressure of not being enough
So freaking excited that my beautiful, incredible, amazing girlfriend will have her tickets booked to come see me in England this week!
Smiling so big constantly! I'm such a lucky guy.
