Drifting into infinity
never to return again
a slave to life is all I am
unwinding paths leading to nowhere

A million lifetimes I've cried
I found out I can't change who I really am
I've opened me eyes only to close them tight and hide
I've cut strings to this world

Days keep getting me down
you try to get under my skin
wishing I could burn away all my emotions
and turn them all to ash

Never wanting to lose this battle that wages inside
wanting someone to come and rescue me from myself
tearing down my fortress of self imprisonment
only to build up a stronger force of solitude

Causing inner doubt and turmoil
craving the acceptance everyone should have
left alone to heal through the shattered pieces
I have to find myself againFinding my True Self

Drifting into infinity

unwinding paths leading to nowhere

A million lifetimes I've cried
I found out I can't change who I really am
I've opened me eyes only to close them tight and hide
I've cut strings to this world

Days keep getting me down
you try to get under my skin
wishing I could burn away all my emotions
and turn them all to ash

Never wanting to lose this battle that wages inside
wanting someone to come and rescue me from myself
tearing down my fortress of self imprisonment
only to build up a stronger force of solitude

Causing inner doubt and turmoil
craving the acceptance everyone should have
left alone to heal through the shattered pieces
I have to find myself again

I stretch until you pull too hard
you're like a feather and my thorns are sharp
drawing blood from your love
grinding away at life's precious moments

No one can break me
grasping your love
and cutting the string
smiling cruelly as it bleeds

You broke my heart
and now I've shattered yours
I see your soul within your eyes
and see the blackness that they hide

These hands of mine
have taken what was mine
correcting the act of being wronged
you stole my heart and I've taken yours

Punched out many tiny holes
your black blood seeps through
corrupting you even more
finally I have made you reap what you sowed

If only you could see what I see
then you'll finally stay with me
hold me in your arms so near
and wipe away all my fallen tears

Love me endless with no catches
completing me as one
all the secrets life hides
need to find my own inner light

I found a love
it's everlasting
little by little
wiping away all the damage

Different is who I am
and who I always will be
anger wells deep inside
the demon inside of me smiles

You can't break me
but you're breaking my heart into two
the ocean between us
tainted with darkness

Drinking me in
dragging me to my knees
causing deep inner pain
because I know you'll forever be me weakness
Haley Smith Feb 2016
Darkness consuming my inner thoughts
breaking through all the hairline cracks
plastered together with life's tar moments
breaking me from the outside

Nothing seems to be left but an empty shell casing
void of emotion
when will I get my old self back?
you broke me

Taking away my innocence
no longer wrapped in white
but enveloped in shades of black and hate
the one person I thought I could trust

A skeleton among the living
scared to love and trust
wandering aimlessly in my shame
when it's you who should be ashamed

Breaking down your only daughter
I wake many nights screaming
losing more of myself with each passing day
struggling just to get by

Shedding blood, tears, and my soul
haunted eyes stare back in the mirror
a broken person is what left
forever struggling to stay alive

Endlessly going through the days
invisible for none to see

Beautiful destruction of the soul
forever wandering Earth
lost to Heaven
lost to Hell

Doesn't know where to dwell
it's in limbo and doesn't even know
watching the world as it goes by
stuck between two eternities

Not knowing what to do or where to go
wasn't welcomed in life
now not welcomed in death
having no one to turn to, lonely

Picture perfect outside
dying morsel on the inside
tiny cracks showing in glass
reflecting a broken person

Weathered down by a n unjust world
it tries to keep me down
but I just pick myself up again
adding more cracks t o my already cracked soul

Adding more wear and tear over time
involuntarily giving away pieces of my heart
stolen by unworthy boys
yearning to be loved for me

No solitary affection towards my body
but towards my yearning heart
giving, but also taking
piecing my heart back together like a puzzle
