You’re playing with fire
Danger dances on your fingertips
The flames reflect in your eyes
They will leave burns, future scars
It’s like playing with someone’s soul
Neither of you will ever forget

You’re playing with fire
And sooner than later
You’re going to get burnt

She slapped on a smile
that tells the lies for her
when she doesn't have the energy to

they say she's always happy, always perfect

but inside she's broken,
broken and she can't be fixed.

nothing can fix her now

sleep now;
forget the world that frightens you
and the hatred it exudes.
sleep now child,
and forget what you cannot understand.
forget your fears and banish them from your nightmares.

Sleep now,
and forget.

abstract nightmares
in the black of night

scattered shadows
in the abyss of her mind

feathers of hope
as the light infiltrates the darkness

peacefully vacant
until night falls again

calm dread
as sleep can no longer wait

abstract nightmares
lingering in the shadows
