I'm burning away,
And I don't know who started it.

My chest aches.
It burns and I'm breaking.

Now I'm burning away.
Wish I remembered why I struggled.
Wish I knew why I died,

And never got you.

A Prayer in Finals

How I'd dream of getting back, and staying there, forever. But there's a reason that these place will go away and become replaced with new ones that look just the same, but for different people. It's the thing that keeps us pushing forward, despite another overcast day. Despite another walk around South Quad and down Division. It's what makes me look out into the cold dark wind and see a warmth, higher and further away from me, yet warming me like it was in my gloves and around my heart. It's a reason, but it's locked so tightly that I can't see what it is when I try to look down at my chest. But I kno

La Palabra

I kill myself. When I think of you. I kill myself, When I think of you. You breathing. On my neck. You kissing my... ...And I'm dead, again. Build me a fantasy, Alone to wake, again. Show me a glorious day, Only to be gone, again. You kill me with nothing. You kill me with just thought, Again.  Get me out.
