I smile because i see through your charade,
I frown because i know the pain you conceal is my fault.
My days are dark because i never seem to be looking at the sun,
My nights are bright because our friendship glows.
I splash through the rain looking up at the sky,
I scuff my feet through the day watching my life pass away.
I break free not looking as i tumble down the tree covered *****,
Hiking back up to run back down to 'feel free one more time'.
I'm sleeping in the day,
Prowling in the night.
Living for each moment,
Finding no regrets.
Laughing,
Crying.
Living,
Dying.

I can't stay in this cage you've made,

I've been folded just to fit inside.

My legs are aching,

The will to run is strong.

You throw food between my bars,

Afraid to get too close.

I gnaw anxiously at the lock,

Claw at the floor,

Wine and cry.

You come bearing a bowl,

I smell the fresh wet scent,

I show my teeth,

Growl deep from the pit of my stomach,

I'm so thirsty.

You walk past,

Your attention on me is wrongly timed.

My legs,

hurt.

They buckle beneath me and I fall,

My mouth is dry,

My blood runs thick,

My heart slows,

My eyes close,

The cage is gone.

Nothing but endless forest.

I feel slow steady pain,

Welcoming to these useless limbs.

Then i run,

For eternity.

Swallowing my pride, opening closed doors.
Remembering the days that you would call me yours.
Words I'd lost in space and time,
Come floating back into my mind.
The times we laughed, and times we cried,
The day you came and said you'd lied.
Like every thing we'd known before, this too came to an end.
Maybe someday soon to you, this letter I will send.

Smiling forward towards the sun,
Now you see what you've become.
Chosen fate you can't decide,
The earth opens, a mile wide.
Something rises, takes your hand,
Slowly smile as you descend.

New day, same old feelings. Like no matter what you can't seem to escape the shadow of your thoughts, no matter how bright the sun. Brand new bag, slung on the same old shoulders. Since you were five they've worn their place there. Same bold face in the mirror, wipe away the tears and smile against the waves crashing against you. Brand new people, same old faces. New day, same old feelings.

She falls under,
The mistakes she couldn’t stand.
He tries one last time,
To faithfully hold her hand.
She doesn’t notice,
Everything she had.
He turns away,
Feeling all but sad.
Every word he’d ever said,
She knows she deserves.
