In the darkest night, A flower will grow.

I cried out to God, And There was silence.

In seventh grade, I made you a po… But I tore it up into pieces Because it wasn’t good enough. In eighth grade, I made you a poe… But I left it under my bed

I had no right To fall in love with you. All those times I promised you That I’d never fall in love again Were lies because I fell in love…

Twigs on fire Never linger, never flit. Their emotions stand dire To the situation that cannot be sp… Twigs on fire never see.

When you taste your own sweet tear… Know I’ll be there. When the night becomes a friend, Know

She looked like innocence And felt like sin And died like grace And fell like a bird And fell like a bird

Let my joy be a promise To my future self Who is so beautiful Even if she isn’t pretty.

I feel so lonely. I want to die. Feeling like the only one on earth… My laughter is a lie. Laugh on, laugh on.
