The radiant crescent moon illumina… Transforming the clear azure water… The gentle evening breeze sending… I stand above my reflection, watch… A stranger stares back at me, her…

My fingers gliding across the keys In a race to keep up with My wayward thoughts Drifting through me head Things demanding to be out

Guarantees a long painful death ...

I don’t know where to start Too much to say So much more to lose I know what I am risking But I don’t have a choice

The morning sun swings and twirls Drawing in the vacant streets Singing songs of love and joy She tries to wake the dead.

Here is the thing Before you came along I was doing just fine I knew the score My days all had an order

You don’t deserve this attention You’re not worth the time of day! My heart may be crushed Evident from my bleeding tears My sadness flooding my resolve

I thought I knew What was love That I would recognize it When it came to the door Greet it with open arms

Disappointment is everywhere I lo… It is in the faces of those I adm… And shown in their actions I wish I could fix everything All the hurt feelings

My ceiling is dreary The white paint Paled from the years Flaking and peeling I stare morbidly content

You hide behind your big smile But I know you wear a mask And I see the lies you hide I see the scarred fragile soul Cracking beneath the weight.

Peering into the window The scene beyond the glass Brings tears to my eyes The pain burns in my throat As I hold back the sobs
