The smell of burning flesh fills the air,
All I hear are police sirens everywhere.

The world is in turmoil as we all know,
No one has anyone to turn to, no where to go.

So I just sit here on my front porch step,
Wondering what happened overnight as the world slept.

Wires are down, trees are on fire,
Everything is chaos, all is haywire.

People are running around acting so crazy,
The smog that covers the earth is now very hazy.

Life as we know it has come to an end,
It is certainly going to be hard to mend.

All luck is deceased, no four leaf clovers,
All that is and was is completely over.

There is no way to describe it,
the pain someone else feels.
But you know that it's lurking close by.
You know that this pain is real.

I'm going to stay strong even though I feel as if I can't go on.
I'm going to smile like I'm not dying on the inside.
I'm going to pretend like everything is perfect when everything is falling apart at the seams.
I'm going to act fearless when actually I'm terrified.
For life must carry on, with or without me.
I can stick through it....

If seeing is believing,
Then what is dreaming?

The soreness of my heart engulfs my being,
Now that your gone, I'm finally seeing.

Who you are and what you did.
How you cowered behind and hid.

The lights are out and it's finally clear.
After all this time, after a year.

It still hurts so badly to know,
That everything we did, and all that was done was just a show.

Never again shall you do me wrong.
I wish I had known this all along.

The water is liquid fire…scorching my flesh like acid…with delight.
Numb, the pain doesn't reach me.
My skin, tingling and red show signs of burns.
Burns which will turn into scars.
So when you see me again, you'll know you're the cause of them.
Scarring my body and heart for all of eternity.
Everyone will see what you've done to me.
I played with fire and got **burnt…

Beauty dies, angels blow away.
I scream with my memory forever of you.
Makeup covers your lips and cheek.
I scream, you really pick a fight.
Not there, one night,
No one saved the love.
Always in my heart,
I only dream I’ll fall in love with someone else now.
Running more,
Hoping to never remember you.
