She smiles the kind of sad smile one would think the sun does when setting. Warm and wonderful. Worn out and weary. Ready to say goodbye, to take a break from having to be a constant source of light. Relief at the prospect of rest.

I was lonely in a way that I imagine the stars to be, observed by everyone yet too far to truly be seen.

The strongest weapon a woman has at her disposal is that she is often underestimated,

I read somewhere we mature with damage and not age.

There are different kinds of darkness, there is the darkness that frightens, the darkness that soothes, the darkness that is restful. There is the darkness of lovers, and the darkness of assassins. It becomes what the bearer wishes it to be. It is not wholly bad or good.

Only you can decide what breaks you, only you.

[justmydarkplace91]

To the stars who listen and the dreams that are answered

[justmydarkplace91]

Missing you comes in waves

And this wave just knocked me off my feet

[justmydarkplace91]

I can hardly see,

Through the haze in my eye,

All seems like a lie,

All beauty seems death.

I don’t even have the strength,

To give up,

Even thought I don’t want to,

Life goes on.

We wanted to believe in eternal life,

Hidden together,

And desperately solaced.

We buried the truth,

As deep as it would,

Spend my time with an angle,

As long as I could.

Some days I’m a warrior,

Some days I’m a broken mess,

Most days I’m a bit of both,

But I’m always there,

Standing,

Fighting,

Trying.

In restless night's embrace I lie,

Where dreams and shadows intertwine,

A world of dread, where demons fly,

In nightmares' realm, the stars decline.

Restlessness, for sleep I yearn,

Within my mind, it takes its toll,

My thoughts in tangled chaos burn,

As sleepless hours take their toll.

The darkness controls my weary soul,

In twisted visions, I am bound,

Through haunted landscapes, I patrol,

In search of peace, never found.

Yet even in the darkest hour,

I seek the dawn, the break of day,

For restlessness may have its power,

But morning's light will guide my way.

In nightmares' grip, I'll not succumb,

For in my heart, a fire burns,

I'll chase the dreams, the battles won,

And from this restlessness, I'll learn.

[justmydarkplace91]

Im in a constant battle with myself,

Those cherished memories bring a smile to my face as well as tears to my eyes,

A war between remembering and forgetting

[justmydarkplace91]

Life went on though it was never the same again

[justmydarkplace91]

If I wait until the morning will it hurt less?

Can the ocean on my shoulders take a rain check?

‘Cause lately I’m so afraid that I’m letting everybody down

I’m anxious I can’t meet their expectations

I’m running out of ways to love myself

[justmydarkplace91]

[justmydarkplace91]

I know you're somewhere out there Somewhere far away I want you back,

At night, when the stars light up my room I sit by myself

Talking to the moon Trying to get to you

In hopes you're on the other side talking to me too Or am I a fool who sits alone talking to the moon?

[justmydarkplace91]

I wish that heaven had visiting hours

And I would ask them if I could take you home

But I know what they'd say, that it's for the best

So I will live life the way you taught me, and make it on my own

And I will close the door, but I will open up my heart

And everyone I love will know exactly who you are

'Cause this is not goodbye, it is just 'til we meet again

So much has changed since you've been away
