I want to know how my life has ended up here
abigail l Mar 2019
I'm sorry that I disappoint you, I really don't mean to
I only want to be here for you, and help you
but I guess you don't need me

I never meant to be the one who fails
the bitter pill you swallow day to day
because you have no other choice

I see the look of unsurprised disappointment in your eyes
The pain seeps into my marrow, I break apart once more
Iv'e done it again, I proved my disgraceful composition

I stand there time after time without a sound
letting your every word chip away at my heart until
it is nothing more than dust piled on the floor

I make my eyes act as barriers for the tears I dare not shed
for only behind closed doors will I take off my smile
and let my self drown in the hole where
my heart used to be

I guess it's just in my DNA to be a disappointment,
when I try to make you proud, I only make it worse
If I don't try at all, it will only confirm what you already knew

Is there no way out? Is this my unavoidable fate?
i'm sorry...

Empire
Sometimes
I want to spin
Myself into a
Hurricane
Just to
Feel
The
Calm
In
The
Eye
Because without the storm, how would you know what calm is?
