Tick
Tick
Tick
The clock keeps ticking on.
First a second, then an hour.
Then a year, then a decade.
Tick
Tick
Tick
The sun had always shone for me,
but now I stand only in the dusk.
The clock keeps ticking on.
Tick
Tick
Tick
Two decades dead and gone,
How many more have yet to come?
The clock keeps ticking on.

I dared to dream, but my dreams are dead.
What once was bright, is now cold with dread.
I wanted hope, but found only fear.
Now we see that I don't belong here.
I tried to leave, but I'm trapped in place.
Stuck in this eternal stifling embrace.
But after everything, and all that you said.
I dared to dream, but my dreams are dead.

I know how it feels to be lied to and alone.
You tore out the stitches in me you have sewn.
I should have guessed when "forever" you intoned.
In your eyes, forever is brief. I wish I had known.

Love hurts when it can't be shared.
Say to the one I love? I would not dare.
I'd like to think that we'd make a great pair.
But should I share, it would end with despair.
Love and Dare.
Always a pair.
The friendship is strong,
the bond constructed,
Though it hasn't been that long,
My love could be obstructed.
Love and Dare.
Everywhere.
Should I say love,
he might say no.
Is it worth the risk?
I wish it was so.
Love and Dare.
A nightmare.
Or a dream come true.
You never know if you don't ask.

Your words glide
Over my
Heart like a
Skater skates
On ice lakes.
Slowly you
Wear me down;
Carve your words
Onto my
Heart with blades.
One time you
Will cut through
And fall in
Through the crack
That you made.
You will try
To climb out,
But you are
Stuck in the
Void with me.
Now you'll know
Just the harm
That a few
Words can cause.
Can't you tell?

It cuts into me as a knife.
Scarring the surface of my soul.
Blood rolls down the blade
Carrying whispers of uncertainties.
It stares at me as it breathes me in,
And I breathe my last.

Shattered like a china plate
Broken like a window pane
My heart's a million shards
Shards that won't be one again

Love is a fickle thing,
Though romance has more sting.
Lost in her warm sad eyes,
She stared right on through mine.
I thought that it was me,
That was a fruitless plea
Back against my heart’s walls,
She tore a hole right through.
She drained my heart to naught
No blame stems from that spot
Escaped through the puncture
She searched for a lover
My heart is torn to shreds
All that is left are dregs
Now I finally see
It would never be me.

The brightest flame in my life dimmed before my eyes
The light went out, she disappeared into the night.
To another, her flame begins to glow,
To another, her heart begins its show.
The warmth hidden in her glow kept my fires burning.
Now it’s gone, the fire quenched, my heart cold.
But deep cold feels warm when filled with yearning.
And with this tragic warmth, I preserve your warmth for another.
The purest of affections are yours to share.
You choose to share it with whom you care.
Although my fire is but a remnant of the past,
I choose to share it with you, that your fire may last.
When the one I loved didn’t love me back
My fire burned cold it needed love back
As you share your flame with another,
I will endure in my cold dark slumber.

Lost in the dark, I used to be happy.
My friends have moved on, I have been abandoned.
I'm lost, and I have been forgotten.
I ache for my friends, but to them, I meant little.
I feel too much, I'm too emotional.
I get filled with rage, but I'm not an angry person.
Only when I realized this, I realized that I'm better off forgotten.
