Through my bones this resonates; boiling blood will circulate.
Can you tell me again what you did this for?
And I don't love you anymore..
Your lies sounded so sweet to meet my ear,
And I wanted so dreadfully to hear; believe what was there to hear,
But alas your words come in soft echoes now,
Upon not so deaf ears,
Haunting,
Magnifying,
Your every flaw.
I can hear the bitter sweet melody of your words,
As soft as snow,
And I can feel myself shrinking back to oblivion,
I recoil at the first glimpse of your smile,
And block out the memories of such,
I try not to dwell on what might have been,
But on what had been,
And what had turned me into this being,
As weak as dust.
And now I hide behind locked doors,
Reflecting on my past,
And trying so uselessly to pinpoint what went wrong,
And make it right once again.
I need not another enemy,
But one true friend,
That will never turn on me and leave me be,
When they are what I truly need.
I need not these mind games that poison my reality,
So venomously they play out my days,
Killing me softly with each and ever move they make.
And holding me back from the light that I need to lead my way.
And the appearance of reality slowly flickers away,
With every hollow word you make,
Appearance and reality slowly fade away,
Into the shadows of the night,
And I resonate; In my own being.
For final sweet release.
