Changes

I saw death as a threat
When I was little
Now I welcome it with open arms.

I thought love was forever
When I was a child
Now I know it was all a lie.

I hoped fate would be forgiving
When I first trusted you
Now I realise that was a mistake
I’m meant to be broken
Like all things in life
I sure hope it doesn’t
Take away my light.

forever running

I keep putting myself in places
I’m not comfortable with
Just to put a smile on
your faces

these four walls

I’m still waiting for someone
To come and take me home
From this cell in my brain
I don’t want to be alone.

Diamonds

I have no care for sparkle and shine
Until you came by knocking on my door
You tore apart my garden of red
Petals of the past shredded and destroyed
Everything soft about me you changed
Hardened me up and polished me down
Now I shine and sparkle like you do
But what did it cost for both you and me?

...

When I close my eyes
I see the rainbow sky
You were by my side
For the last time

When I wake up again
I’ll see the bloodshot sky
You’re not by my side
For the first time

The stars and the sky align
In my chaotic mind
Shadows of you cry
While I sit and sigh.

Scars

I draw a line of hope
Cutting through the black and white
The searing pain lifting me up.

I hold a blade of freedom
Snipping away the good and bad
The pieces forming together a heart.

I keep my scars close
Painting over them a beautiful mural
The colours mixing with the blood.
