Like You

“I really haven't had that exciting of a life. There are a lot of things I wish I would have done, instead of just sitting around and complaining about having a boring life. So I pretty much like to make it up. I'd rather tell a story about somebody else.”-Kurt Cobain

Stillness of the night
Nothing proves to be alright
In your arms
I am held dear
But in your heart
Your intentions are different I fear.
~*~
Falling apart
Losing touch with my soul
Giving in
To darkness, untold
Evil nightmares
Play in my head
Making me wonder
How I am not dead.
~*~
Endless longing
To be like you
Hold nothing dear
Continue to move
Broken to the core
Shattered remnants
Of a girl once knew
~*~
Devotion to nothing
Who is to say
There isn’t something greater out to play
Endless tidings
Taking lives
Judging by a cover
But have you ever been there
~*~
Beautiful creature
In more ways than one
I want to be like you
Hold my day in the sun
Giving up on love
Losing faith in friends
Won’t be much longer
Until today will end.
~*~
Perfection is madness
Madness is you
Teaching me to long
To become something true
Leading by hope
Where do I stand
Left in this shattered wasteland
~*~
Stillness of the night
Nothing proves to be alright
In your arms
I am held dear
But in your heart
Your intentions are different I fear.

Author's Note

“If you die you're completely happy and your soul somewhere lives on. I'm not afraid of dying. Total peace after death, becoming someone else is the best hope I've got.”-Kurt Cobain
