Bones rattle together
As the dead start to rise
As the population decreases
Secret have started to die
Until that one day
When secrets
Are no longer what they are
Secrets are an ever seething
White marble scars

We were too busy
to know--that we died
little by little--by
convention crucified-

what we are we have given away
to gain acceptance-- we denied
and rejected our intrinsic selves
tears are futile though we have bitterly cried.

You swear you really mean it
I'm pretty sure you don't
Too often I have let you slide
Counting on the fact you won't

I've asked you to try my shoes on
You don't hear a word I say
Too busy ranting while you stomp
Storming the opposite way

I'll succeed with or without your help
Slowly dying with stubborn pride
Opinions don't control me anymore
Or cut me inside

I do not care if you revoke support
You'll be my Mama no matter what
Is it hard to accept me for who I am?
Hiding behind a door tightly shut

It is tiring attempting to make you proud
Sad thing to see you cry
I disappear for I can't bear your tears
Unable to handle the disappointment in your eyes

A long time ago was the reason you smiled
Old photograph serves as proof
Held me through the years
Held me down
Handed out name slurred with *****

Now we do not even sit down to eat dinner
On steps I lay my dreams
A broken home empty of potential
Collecting on dusty beams

Drinking from your water bottle
That's not what's actually inside
Wind tipping you off balance
Alone as guilt you hide

At grey clouds I shudder
Foundation of our fears
Still true to trust and time
Detached demeanor clears

Wish I had courage to call you out
Call your bluff
Admit I know
When you tell me to get out
You really mean "please do not go"

she loved the sunrise
all that hope promised
first light of a new day

I was always a sunset kind've guy
preferring to know it's all over
watching my anger and disappointment
drain from the sky

we're no longer together

days passed
and we never saw eye to eye

Did you enjoy my pain ?
was it fun to watch me fall ?
you were the reason why I am being in this way.

you blew into my life like a sweet summer breeze,
stole my heart in an instant made me weak in knees.

you seemed so loyal when you looked in my eyes,
and said the things I have waited to hear my whole life.

I thought you was different, I thought you was real,
I never thought I could feel the way you let me feel.

I was perfectly senseless, not one reason why,
you just disappeared without saying goodbye.

you had me floating on air, then let me crash the ground,
It's too much to wrap my mind around.

Why play at being real ? no one wins in the end,
someone always gets hurt when other pretends.

now I am left here to wonder, what could have gone wrong,
why you stopped hurting me, why you strung me alone.

still can't believe that you hurted me like that,
everything is finished, there's nothing left.
