Picture to Burn

Last night she slept quietly
shutting out the reality in a weightless world.
But in her dreams she's coming across
storm after storm
with the rain beginning to pour and shake
the ground with it's thundering grace.
She's quickly soaked[in rising sweat]
as she runs;splashing through puddles
away from a beating frame of ache.
She's so ready to give up
and collapse into her own restless oblivion.

She's taking boxes out of hiding
[names;faces;and words]
and dropping them to a fiery depth.
He's becoming just another picture to burn.
The flames licking the creases
she created in her rage of disaster.
And now she's watching their faces
dissapear[maybe if you close your eyes
you'll eventually wish me away--x
and maybe one day I'll simply dissapear]

She's never had a dream come true
and wishes at 11:11 are left to the sky
to conquer and tear down
just like he brought her
crashing down into ocean waves
creating hurricanes and warning signals.
She's got nothing left
just a fucking war zone
torn and broken down by enemy lines.
[inhale;exhale]
He can't feel her heartbeat slowing
he doesn't seem to notice her falling down
She's closing her eyes'
wishing herself away
[She's just another picture to burn]

      Sometimes i wish i could wish him to death...if that makes sense.
      He, my darling, has hurt me once again, and im not quite sure how to deal with it.
      I was a little on the uneasy side and couldn't think of anything but what have i seriously done wrong this time.


      i didn't know it would hurt as bad as last time.

      i love you darling,
      always.♥
