hushed-lullabies

i must have ripped a million petals from thousands of flowers to see if you'd come back when you didn't i shoved them as far down the garbage disposal would allow

you consume my thoughts the same way burning flames engulf anything they touch you set my soul ablaze with words of love and dreams of kissing you you've ignited my heart and I never want this to be snuffed out

i. I wish my name was Alice or Sarah or Jane Because I want to be one of those girls Boys (or ladies) write songs for ii. I still feel Your ghostly touch Every night iii. Am I on your mind Half as much as you're on mine? iv. You're so beautiful With glass bones And snowy like skin But your lonely eyes Hide so many lies v. Run as fast as you can Because you need to Be faster than your demons vi. She's not perfect But she's trying Just for you vii. Oh beautiful girl You keep running away But where exactly are you going? viii. Let me lift you Out of this swirling ocean And from all of your fears

You can't keep saying you'll change And never follow through You can't keep toying with people Like they're your playing pieces You've got yourself in such a mess And to be honest I don't like you anymore Little Miss Puppet Master Pulling strings and pulling hearts Have fun without me In your world of pretend Don't bother looking back Because I won't be there

once upon a time, there was a little girl with golden hair tied up in ribbons in a little white dress. She always clutched her pink blanket and would love to just sit still like a doll. She was the type to always hold mommy's hand when crossing the street and believed in fairy tales for quite some time. Her nose was always in a book and her head up in the clouds. That same little girl is all grown up now. Her hair isn't so long and shining anymore, but that's how she likes it. The white dress has been replaced by a black coat. Go ahead and guess why. That pink blanket makes her dog happy now. Even when she's sitting still, her mind is going

you were my sun and i was your moon you promised to never fall too bad you broke in two

you're making me lose my faith those who claim they believe in the same God as me He is all-loving, His son respected everyone and that's how we're supposed to be yet you judge so quickly those who love someone of the same gender those with different skin color those who have different beliefs when did you become so perfect? you say you believe in the same God as me Well it's about time you prove it you're making me question my faith you who say 'there is no God' or 'prove it' over and over again maybe I can't prove He exists but can you prove He doesn't? let everyone believe what they want and respect those who respect you

I'm going to keep forcing air out of my lungs for you No matter how much it might hurt me at times Little bird, I'll wrap you up And keep you safe, always Brightest star in my sky I'll follow you no matter how far you go I'm glad I caught your attention As easily as you caught mine I love escaping reality With you next to me I hope one day I can take your hand And we can rocket ship away from here

We're the types to fall asleep Listening to Fall Out Boy While the sun starts to peek After another night of over-thinking She's the type to never wear make-up Because (in her opinion) the world Needs to learn to look at natural beauty And see it in everyone like she does He's the type to carry his pride silently But is learning how to show it to others And shed his little rainbow shell Step by step, one day at a time She's the type to scream out When it all becomes too much It gives some people the wrong impression But the ones she can truly count on always stay He's the type to quietly observe And try not to let things get
