In every one of us a Light burns

A Light that pushes us to be better than what we are
...

If you decide to live your life
with your heart caged securely inside your chest,
you cant get hurt or feel the pain
which has brought down all the rest.
...

It seems like forever that we've been friends
with no secrets between us
never an awkward moment not followed by a laugh
I admire everything about her
...

The hour is getting late
and we've had a good day
now we both lay together
with my arms around you
...

We had a great friendship between us,
laughing,
joking,
we had a lot of fun together.
...

Sometimes I feel like an idiot for doing some of the things I do.
Sitting here at night thinking about my life, or lack thereof.
Lost in thought about people I wish were closer friends.
I don't necessarily feel unhappy.
...

After spending only a few days with you
already I feel so close
and now that you have gone
I feel left alone again
...

I am not afraid of spiders or of the nights
I am not afraid of bees or scared of heights

I am not scared of the pain of death
...

everyone wants a way out of their own life
we are always looking for something more
never satisfied
never seeing and appreciating what they already have
...

I am looking for One Girl.
Someone Blissful and Entertaining.
Someone Beautiful and Delicate.
Someone Graceful and Smooth.
...

on the surface of everything
my life seems, at a glance, simple
it seems easy, routine, and painless
but like everything, it is not as it seems
...

When time is still
and the night grows older
my mind is open
for ideas to spill onto the page
...

Can't you just leave me be?
You ask why I do what I do,
why I am what I am.
...

She told me that she's hurting
She told me she's in Pain
She told me that I broke her heart
and left her in the rain
...

I'm here again, laying awake
Thinking about how it all went wrong
Reassuring myself that I did everything in my power
I did everything that I knew how to do
...

what should be a conversation with God
somehow always turns into a one-sided conversation with myself
I know that He is listening
yet for some reason I can't put my thoughts into conversation
...

The rose colored glasses blinded my vision of you
now I can clearly see the full spectrum of view.

I ignored what I felt, but no longer ignore.
...

Something must be wrong with me
every time I turn around I fall for another pretty face
it seems almost cruel to make myself go through this again and again
for me the border between friendship and love
...

I have been through more than you know trying to win your affection. I still cannot completely understand the reasons behind why you and I could not try to be more than friends, but now I can clearly see that it would not have likely worked out between us in the long run. I have felt every emotion for you from love, to frustration, to sympathy, and now I don't know how to feel.

I Have:
I Have wanted to be with you more than anything in my life.
...

My Mind is racing, I cant slow it down.
My heart is pounding, I cant drown out the sound.

The emotions inside me all seem to stir,
...
