I often lock myself inside
To a quiet place where I can hide
A feeling of cellophane wrapped around my head
A pile of darkness growing in my bed
A cloud of words looming around
It's time for me to hit the ground
Letting it slip away all too fast
Never letting go of everything in the past
My favorite color suddenly fades to black
Silence in my mind is constantly coming back
My new house is now in my bed
Under the sheets I go with tears starting to shed
I sing a lullaby from start to finish
Everything I once knew is bound to diminish
I say goodbye to the world once again
And say hello to the darkness inside my head
Melodramatic teen, don't mind me.
I saw you standing there.
Looking at the street as if it was a stained glass tapestry telling you how much your life would take
Then.
You saw me, but you didn't "see" me.
It was lazy
lacklustre
And should of screamed a thousand warnings
But I..I'm oblivious aren't I?
I notice the curve of your back, crumpled silk I reach to smooth out and bring you back AND

With a flinch that runs through you

I tie my tongue around my teeth.
Somehow I manage to say
"How was your day?"

"Okay" you'd say. Looking through me you'd say.
"Okay"
When the darkness peeks through my doors at night, tell me why I feel the chill of eyes.
In my feelings of loneliness, I tend to find the glowing embers in charcoal colored eyes every time the lights are out.
Tell me who's there.
If you are the entity that watches me, tell me this: do you like what you see or do you pity me the way I long to be pitied?

Suppose I let you in
and forgot about the past
Let's say we start again
Would we some how make it last?

Suppose that I surrender
Simply follow my heart
Would it be like I remember?
Would it all just fall apart?

Suppose I walk away
Would regret be the end game?
Supposing that I stay
Would the ending be the same?

I suppose I could forgive you
Let go of past mistakes
I suppose "trust" is the issue
That's a promise I can't make

Suppose you walk away
and the moment passes by
Suppose....Let's just say....
It's better as goodbye
