Frozen

We put this love in a photograph
We make these memories for ourselves
Where our eyes are never closing
And hearts were never broken
And time is forever frozen still

Control

How do you tell others 

that something is wrong

When deep down inside

You don't know what's going on

How do you get up and

smile and laugh

But when you're alone

it's just tears and sighs

How do you envision a

strip of dripping paint

without thinking of

the joy within

How do you stare at

those shapes in the past

Eyes that stare and glow

Surrounded by hearts

How do you see others'

sprightly bright lights

Without thinking of your own

So dull in sight

How do you live

Yet not alive

Just a sleeping zombie

A grenade in five

How do you lose all

of this thing called hope

when all this time it's been nothing but

Get-go and control.
