Rain falls crashing in on me
The clouds gather darker than before
We aren't who we used to be
I don't know who we are anymore

This used to be such an easy game
Until it all began to fall away
I barely even know your name
It's all a blur from yesterday

Gathering the shattered bits of the past
I wish for the way it used to be
I can't remember how time went by so fast
I barley remember the old me

I rarely ask for help but I'm asking now
I'm breaking under this weight
I need to get out I don't know how
Help me out of this broken state

I'm falling apart at the seems
Nothing's the way it was
Can no one hear my woeful screams?
No one ever does

I hear the laughter
Echoing through my head
Haha I hear the sarcasm
Floating up from under my bed
No fuzzy monsters
No, the devil instead

It's funny you see
He looks in my eyes
When he tells me the truth
It sounds like lies
Funnier yet that
He smiles so humanly at me
I feel him wearing me down
Until I can't see

Better still
He kills me softly
Without will
He buries me
A whisper of my name
Left still wet on his lips
These deadly, deadly games
Left my soul a fragile wisp

Maybe I should have read the rules more carefully

Breaking into myself
Every lock I had to pick
Every maze I had to get through
Just to open up the last bordered up door
And find out no ones' home
I'm all alone
Go figure

Opening unaware eyes
Staring into the sad reflection
Every aspect a reason to cry
Made up of imperfections

Every fight and every beating
Every tear and cry
Left bleeding
Why do I try?

Every failure and regret
Every cut every bruise
Every reason I wept
I always lose

Remains of hair that used to flow
A dried up memory of the vivid glow
Every scar against broken skin
Every battle I will never win

Every word burnt into my being
Eyes unsure of seeing
Eyes left dull green bleeding
A strong soul left fleeting

History just keeps repeating

Broken wings on a butterfly
Struggling to breath
Don't
         Let
                 It
                           Die
Cold stings frozen hands
No snow falls
No
            One
                                        Understands
Soft strum of your guitar strings
The fast flutter of quick fingers
Along
             I
                         Sing
In your arms I'm safe and sound
Just you and me
               No
                            One
                                               Around
Watch the sun drop before our eyes
The stars left hanging there
Lighting
         Up
                       The
                                     Sky
Close your eyes
Before what we have dies
Like a flame
Bending the same
We
                Must  
                               Ignite
                                                         Tonight
Before our wings give out

Those eyes
Full of despair
The way she felt
It wasn't fair

So full of pain
She was drenched
It falls with the rain
So drenched


So bitter with the taste of fear
Sitting in her mouth, just sitting
With the taste of tears
Spitting it out, spitting

Abandoned left all alone
Neglected her heart left at home
Without anyone around
It lay broken and beaten into the ground

Black eye and bruised face
Her wings broken in last place
Smiling still she was dying
Falling broken her children crying

Until she opens her eyes
Someone new in her place
The years she spent dying
That person left with no trace

She was dead
After the years she bled
The goodness of her left shed
Left a broken soldier instead
