buffer overflow

Continuously changing
The speed of life
Never the same
And rarely ideal
It brings the pain fast
And drags it on
But it brings the love slow
Make you wait for its arrival
And sometimes lets you savor its stay
What a bitch of a tease
The speed of life

Catch me now
I think I’m falling
My tears stand still
As they fall with me

This feeling felt before
But falling much faster now
Never had the time to watch
My tears as they froze in time

Falling to a familiar place
But which one will it be
The horrible darkness
Or a new high

I know I fall alone
As I fall in silence
But whether I fall alone forever
Takes forever to learn

I do not know
Which way I fall
I must wait, and wait, and wait
For the end to come

Only then will I see
Have I hit bottom
Or reached a peak
It will be clear

When tears stand still
You wish they moved
But my tears stand still
Oh please let them move

sun pierces my eyelashes
reflecting six different ways
and yet finding my window

not all enters my eye
silhouetted is a head
a nose, lips, and neck

a smile forms on my lips
as i feel their heart beat
the beat of my favorite song

the clock stands still
we lie forever
in perfection

my arm now around them
my eyes slowly close
and i fade back into ecstasy

just because i call my friends
instead of calling you
doesn’t mean i don’t care

just because i’m sittin’ at home
watching TV or on the phone
doesn’t mean i don’t miss you

and just because i’m out on the town
paintin’ it red or burnin’ it down
doesn’t mean it hurts any less

i’ve just become stronger
and i don’t cry any longer
but just because i don’t cry
doesn’t mean the pain went away

just because we laugh and talk
while we’re out on a walk
doesn’t mean i don’t want to hold your hand

and when we go to sleep at night
i lie awake wondering if it was right
and wishing you were by my side

comforting you late in the day
hoping i help your pain go away
but my heart still hurts the same

i’ve just become stronger
and i don’t cry any longer
but just because i don’t cry
doesn’t mean the pain went away

through the window i can see
a girl that once was close to me
but now she seems so far away

i wave at her she waves at me
each of us feeling differently
why does it have to be this way

i’m so in love but i can’t have
what means most to me
and it kills me inside

it kills me inside

screaming silently late at night
i reach out and turn on the light
i don’t want to feel this way

tears are falling from my eyes
inside a part of me now dies
but what doesn’t kill me makes me stronger

i’m so in love but i’m afraid i’m falling
further down than i can handle
and it kills me inside

it kills me inside

i must be strong i must be true
’cause i don’t want to lose friendship too
for this is what i fear the most

now all that’s left to do
is rebuild parts of what i had with you
but this will be the hardest part

i’m so in love but i cannot remain
so foreign and distant from you
as it kills me inside

it kills me inside
it kills me inside

she moves me
in ways i never thought possible
now i know
my heart is growing strong inside me

changed and transformed
my old self fades as i shed my skin
recover not
but grow from the ashes into a new being

depression and despair
dwell not on the past and yet remember
look to the future
where friendship and uncertainty lie

she moves me
in ways i hope to be moved again
now i know
my heart will be strong inside me
