Firework

I consider myself a firework,
Strange as it can be.
I'm not the prettiest thing you'll ever see
Or the most brilliant.

I consider myself a firework,
Because every once in a while
I'm able to shine for all to see.
Maybe you're like that too.

I consider myself a firework,
Because I'm most alive at night
There's no rest for me when night falls.
Maybe you're like that too.

Tonight's one of those nights
Where I'll see myself there,
Bursting radiant colors into the night sky.
Maybe you'll see yourself too.

Confessions

Although I know you never will read this, just know I mean every word.

You don't know how much I miss you.
I don't usually say things like this, but it's true.
I miss the way where we could just talk
Without anything going awry.

I miss the way where we would always joke around
Without any worries or regrets.
I miss the way we were there for each other
Always together through thick and thin.

They said blood was thicker than water,
I guess our blood wasn't thick enough.
I'm not sure what else to say
Because my mind's just numb.

I guess what I'm trying to say
Is that I'll always regret what I said and did
To make you feel this way.
I truly am sorry.

But what's done is done,
I can't try to mend what we had.
All I can do is just weep
And wish you a great life without me.

Forbidden City

The City is just so beautiful.
The way it bustles during the day
And lights up at night.
It just makes me feel so alive.

The buildings captivate me,
So unique, I wouldn't find them anywhere else.
The melodic tones are so enchanting,
Not even the most powerful incantation can break the spell.

I've had my tastes of The City.
It was never enough.
I just wanted to experience more and more,
But it was just so impossible.

The City is just so rare and recherche
That only the finest of finest can live in it.
A place so breathtaking has no place for me in it.
It never has and never will.

Gone

nightmares have come true,
this day has come
can barely fathom the thought,
then again,
never really understood how i got here.

never truly cared,
never took the time
to understand my hardships.
you moved on,
so should i.

clean the answering machine,
just so i don't accidentally remember,
since you've done the same.
throw away things,
only you and I care about,
since you've done the same.
forget about you completely,
because you meant everything to me,
since you've done the same.

i'll admit,
this won't be easy.
but it's what I have to do,
since you've done the same.

Smooth Whiskey

just one more sip of smooth whiskey
to wash away the pain,
the spirit allows me to be happy
even if it's only for a moment,
just one more sip of smooth whiskey

to fill the void of being alone,
the inamorato floods into my mouth
letting me feel less lonely once more.
just one more sip of smooth whiskey

i murmur one last time.
for the coup de grace sip

has brought love to me for eternity.
