Last Friend Standing

I never thought that you would care at all. Did you ever stop to listen? Did you ever think of this? No.
I keep on trying to put things in perspective, but you just turn a blind eye, and tell me I'm being negative.
Your say, I've heard it all before, but I've learned along the way to just not care, not anymore anyway.
I opened up my eyes again.
I looked where I had never before, before you turned your head away.
Couldn't see what was always there.
Wouldn't believe it if you told me you never were a friend.
The times I helped you out when you had no one who cared about you, and all you could do, is think about all the friends you've lost before.
The wall you've pulled up is getting aweful high if you refuse to look at yourself, stop being so fucking arrogant!
You say you've heard it all before, but you never learned to change. You never cared, always ignored untill it was too late.
Now you feel sorry for yourself, but there's nothing left to say. I just don't care, not anymore..
I opened up my eyes again.
I looked where I had never before, before you turned your head away.
Couldn't see what was always there.
Wouldn't believe it if you told me. You never were there, when I could use a helping hand. You don't care.
Can't believe you would let this happen to the last friend you had left.

All I have to do this time is look into your eyes again, to tell me everything will be just fine.
They told me a million times before, but I just keep coming back to take a look at them once more, and let them show you I'm still there.
My heart and soul you ware them out.
You drain them till there's nothing left, but nothing is what I can't live without.
I told you a million times before, but you just keep looking back, and you don't mean it, I am sure.
We will be fine again in the end.
Your what I need. You are what I am, and you keep my heart safe from what I truly am. I don't deserve you. To me your nothing but everything and more.
Your what I need. You are what I am, and you keep my heart safe from what I really am. You don't deserve this, but to me you're nothing but everything and more.
Back in time. The storm we used to ride. We couldn't just get over it. Desided to go through it side by side.
You told me a million times before. But I just can't forget the past. What am I doing all this for, if I'm just losing you in the end?
Your what I need. You are what I am, and you keep my heart safe from what I truly am. I don't deserve you. To me your nothing but everything and more.
Your what I need. You are what I am, and you keep my heart safe from what I really am. You don't deserve this, but to me you're nothing but everything and more.

To My Worst Enemy

The memories that haunt him.
Render him helpless.
He just can not deny what's burned in his heart and his mind.
What takes away his sleep.
Don't have to remind him how fucked up this world can be.
Just look into his eyes.
He's been there allright.
He knows things we could not believe, though wishes he'd never seen. No.
How could he be so ignorant?
How could he be so blind?
This trap that has been set by those who left him there to die.
A false sense of security made of lies and deceit.
On the scrapheap of society like human debris.
Not even to my worst enemy.
Someday he'll try to get out of this awfull place.
Will he ever get out of this damn bed? Will he?
Will he be able to walk again?
Please let there be light at the end.
Or at least a chance to forget his needs.
How could he be so ignorant?
How could he be so blind?
This trap that has been set by those who left him there to die.
A false sense of security, of lies and deceit.
On the scrapheap of society like human debris.

I Stand Neglected

I try not to think about myself too much, it shows i'm weak, just a superannuated version of what i really am.
It accidently hits me sometimes, and when it does, it scares me, too really see whats inside of me, and what makes me who i am.
What makes me who i am today.
I sometimes remember how i was, before i felt the need to lock me up to never come out. Don't want it anymore
Don't wan't it anymore that way.
You left me for dead, my past is burnt. But i'll use everything i've learned, to not make the same mistake twice. I'm still able to look myself in the eyes. And when i feel strong enough again, i'll prove them wrong and make a mend. Just don't say it's my integrity that made you decide to end it.
I draw the line, the moment i feel like giving up, and when i just feel the need to defend myself for what i really am.
What I really am today.

We're coming back in to join the party.
He hopes nobody else has seen him cry.
He hopes that they don't think that he's retarted,
while they don't even seem to wonder how and why.
I know.
I recognize it.
I have been there.
And I know,
the feeling of despair won't go away, untill you can find a way to leave it all behind you,
and you don't ever have to wonder why they're afraid.
Seems easier to do without it.
It's easier to not having to say, he's thinking things that he would never think of.
If he could just get out, or get out of the damn way.
I know.
I recognize it.
I have been there.
And I know.
The feeling of despair won't go away, untill you can find a way to leave it all behind you,
And you don't ever have to wonder why you're afraid.
He's on his way.
He's done with it.
He can't consider going through with all of this.
Taking distance.
He won't complain to the ones that caused the pain.
But I'll miss him.
