Because

It is the word that is locked inside my soul.

It is the phrase that dances across my lips.

It is my set of wings that take me a flight. 

It sets my soul free.

It makes me whole.

Because.

Reason. 

It is the reason I am here.

It is the reason I am breathing air. 

It is the reason I push forwards.

Because.

Because things will be better.

Because there is an end.

An end to pain.

An end to suffering.

An end to love.

An end to hate.

Because love.

Because I love.

Because I love there is another. 

Another that I cherish.

One that lies deep within my soul.

Because I love another I am selfless.

Because I love another I am whole. 

Because I am whole I will be set free. 

Because i will be set free I am at peace. 

Being at peace puts my soul to rest.

When my soul is resting i am prepared for everything.

For love, for life, for death.

Because i am prepared i can live.

Because living is life.

Because death is death.

Because is reason.

reason is why we are here.

because. 

Justin

I feel you through my veins, 

And I see you through my eyes. 

You open me up and turn me on.

I don't know what is to become of me.

But i know that with you I will be alright.

I speak words so softly. 

I am beginning to see things so clearly.

I see nothing of myself, 

But my life with you.

Because without you I am nothing.

I am only one piece of two.

And because half is never as one as whole.

Because half is incomplete.

I am worthless without you.

I see nothing but you for now and forever.

I want nothing but the simple pleasure of sharing our lives together.

You inspire me and set me apart. 

Because together my dear we are a work of art.

With each day and every minute.

With each tick of the clock

With each beat of my heart. 

There is only you.

Only you in my eyes.

Only you in my years. 

I love you never fades away.

It never grows old. 

It never turns grey.

It will always be bold. 

Your love is my air. 

It gives me the courage to face all fear. 

I breathe you out, and breathe you in. 

Release my lungs and take me away. 

To forever.

Take me away. 

Black

I walk this road alone.

In the middle of the night.

In the depth of the cold, my thoughts speak out in agony. 

Singing in fear of what the sun may bring. 

For i can not wake to a new day in this misery.

My life has always been a blank canvas.

And every day paints on a new coat. 

Every action covers a new color.

My mind is masked. 

My heart is black. 

My feet are cold. 

The base of my heart sinks into the abyss. 

With every word and every last kiss. 

This is what I have lived for.

Every day running towards my tree.

But never growing any closer.

I can see the bright glow. 

But i am separated by this shield. 

I fear that i may never reach the end. 

I fear that i may never see the warmth or feel the light. 

Moving closer towards the tree of life.

All the while i am fading into nowhere,

and falling into the night.
