It has been just six days, the days things went wrong started tripping up, everything was going wrong, it was hardly ever me anymore, just another illusion in peoples hearts. Just a mystery in my own eyes, where was I going?
I couldn't let go, I just needed that last bit of release to make the strings of my life release, let my aching body fall to the hard concrete road. Everything would be cold down here, shouldn't it be warmer so much closer to hell, wasn't I just another fallen angel that roams this earth?
I remember your sweet smile and those lips that called me sexy, your kinky babe, was I really any of that to you? I don't think so, not anymore, my lips are red against my pale skin, I still haven't done it, I haven't broken my promise, I don't think I will, not anymore, it's nothing to what you deserve. What are you going to get from this, I know he got he wanted, he got another side of me. I didn't like it but I guess in my life, in my eyes things are forgotten and left behind.
My heart meant nothing to you either right? Yet you said that I had gorgeous eyes, a pretty hazel. I knew they held more than you could ever see however you persisted and said that you could see past the mask, see who I really was. I didn't believe you and it hurt, you thought that whatever I did meant that I stopped caring, that I stopped loving, let me tell you it didn't.
Again, now the world has another damsal in destress, an actor of a play, whose playing life anymore? Did you see the me behind my forgotten eyes?
