She left me in November,
And I cried for the whole December
I begged for her in January,
But by February, I lost her completely
One eye blind, one bright and clear
Both swimming with doubts, both filled with fear
One hand with gun, one gripping yours
Both bloody and bruised, both aching with force
Your lips on my ears, whispering the same words again and again
Telling me you're sorry, to pick up the pen
But the one's not holding mine, clutches a sword
And blood flows through my mouth instead of words.
I've learned to love darkness as if it is light
Learned not to chase what eluded my sight
So before you try and make me feel okay
Be reminded that I prefer the stillness of night than the buzzing of day
I've learned to enjoy the battles, the wounds, the scars
The monster, the demons, the way they are
We clash, we fight for this body, this mind
But their company, I can never leave behind.
My pen glides through the paper as I bleed you out
The ink tells what I can't speak through my mouth
It seems I lost my voice since you left
Not does it matter, with me, you're always deaf
I beg for you to stay, I plead for just another minute
But you're hellbent on tearing my heart, blowing it to bits
Yet you say there's nobody crueler than I
When you didn't even think twice when you said goodbye.
My fingers graze your skin
And my heart beats loud and fast
A flinch, and a step back
The scene shatters in a flash
I blink my eyes open
As sunlight filters to my room
And I reached for your side
To be met with empty sheets
It is a beautiful day
But I close my eyes, letting myself drift
To the land of dreams
Back to you again.
You loved me.
I didn't.
I love you.
You don't.
We keep on missing each other. Can we meet somewhere in the middle someday?
You smile and I feel myself melt
Are these the cards I was dealt?
For I'd certainly lose in the depth of your eyes
In that honey in your voice as it whisper lies
I should turn my back, I know better than this
But I'm dying to get a taste of your lips
So spin me around, play my strings
Make me dance, make me sing
I'm just another fool to dance right to your web
And I'll stay 'till your interests reach its lowest ebb.
As I walk, it feels heavy
I know this won't make me happy
So, though I want to continue the show
I turned my back without letting them know
Maybe I'll put an end to this tonight
And accept that I lost this fight
For I can't go and pretend anymore
I can't continue banging on these doors
The fog is covering my mind
The exit is something I cannot find
So I will simply make my own
When I leave this world at dawn.
