Our end is nigh,
My dream was to fly,
But now all will die.

I was thought unbreakable,
I was called unbearable.

When all was hope was lost,
When nothing was too high a cost,
Only then was I not made of frost.

Why do they refuse to see my scars?
It's like I'm a distant star,
They always treated me like Mars.

If only I truly was that god of war,
Maybe then they'll hear my roar.

Fueled by my rage,
From within this cage,
Not even a sage
Could predict the wars I will wage.

As I saw her walk away,
As I heard the words she spoke,
I watched my world fall apart,
Right before my eyes.
Powerless,
Useless,
To stop it.

How do you keep going,
When your world
Just walked away from you?
Said good-bye and left,
Leaving you with nothing.
An empty heart,
A broken world,
A meaningless life?

When I finally had the strength...
Or the courage
To walk again,
It was like I walked into hell.

There was no light or dark.
Just an all consuming nothingness.
Alternative titles?

I am at war with myself,
I can't see the light,
I'm surrounded by monsters.

I'm not alright,
I am all alone
Since you left.
I've lost my smile,
I've lost my tears,
I've lost my heart.

I'm hidden in the darkness,
A broken man,
Lost in the abyss.
Tired of walking,
Endless dreaming,
Thoughtless searching,
Looking for someone,
Someone who doesn't exist,
Someone...
I've lost a long time ago.

I can't pretend it doesn't hurt,
Honestly...
I can barely stand.

You'll never see my face,
but I'll be there.
You'll never hear my voice,
but I'll be listening.

When you pick up that letter,
and read "I'm always watching you,
I'm right behind you."
You somehow look right past me
and ask yourself "Where? Where?!"

But don't worry,
I'll have your back.

Don't worry about that murderer
living next door to you.
I'll take care of him next,
you won't see him for long.

And when the day comes
when you have to move.
Don't worry, I'll find you again.

     "This isn't who you are."

    "You're not the girl I used to know."

   "I don't know who you've become."

He repeats these lines
So much these days
It annoys me more than
A broken record ever could
Ever should
Ever would
Cause I told him
I warned him thoroughly

     "I'm not nice."

    "You won't like the real me."

   "I'm not worth fighting for."

But he didn't listen
He filled my head with empty
Promises that he meant
He filled my heart with hollow
Vows that he could never fulfill

     "How can a person be so cold?"

    "How can a lady be so cruel?"

   "How can you change so fast?"

He looks hurt and
I hurt a little
But I shut down
Cause that's what I always do

     "I'm nefarious, lover."

    "Had my heart broken a few times."

   "Now it's made of stone."
I hope Nefarious Breed finds this.♥♥♥

I am adept
In the art of being okay
I have mastered the craft
Of covering my troubles
I use all sorts of fancy facades
Acrylic, oil, watercolor
You name it.

I can paint over nearly anything

You will never know
How late I was up last night
Or why.

My eyes flicker
Like candlelight
But you couldn’t see
You couldn’t possibly see
I’m too good
For that.

I can dance, too
Waltzing away my sorrows
Carefully tip toe-ing the
Pas-de-I-am-fine
I get a standing ovation every time

I’m very talented, you see.

But my all time favorite
Is my disappearing act
I’m still perfecting it
Right now
But one of these days
I’ll show you
How I
Slip
Slip
Slip
Away

Right through your fingers.

— The End —
