As the sun falls
And the presence of night dawns
The light looses itself.
Darkness consumes understanding
And the familiar warmth
Fades into an unwanted chill.
Yet the night echoes in its silence.
Hidden fears materialize
Lonesome once more
And fear takes its place

I was seven years old
With not a decade of life
You were my world
My mom; his wife

I believed that lie
As you covered that bruise
You told me you tripped
So I ignored the clues

But his anger got worse
And your tears broke through
But you were my angel
What could I do?

He dug you deeper
And I watched you scar
His malevolent motives
Fabricated from the bar

And now that your gone
I pass through each day
Knowing you suffered
In the worst of ways

I promise to remember
Your loving embrace
Your smile, your laugh,
And the curves of your face

But you've taught me much more
Than to mother a child
You've taught me to hate
And you've taught me to cry

I refuse to break
from the strike of a man
For you I'll find strength
And respect who I am

I breathe into the November air
And look up into the sky
Every star I see from afar
Reminds me of the beauty in your eyes

The wind breaks through this jacket
And I shiver from the cold
Reminds me of my used to be warmth
When I was your baby to hold

I'm programed to know this bitter cold
I'm prepared for all it's wrath
Every chill is to remind me
How November changed our paths

Thirteen years in 6 days
Since the last time I saw your face
That much further from whom I love
Distance so forcefully placed

The birthday seeming simple
Sadly set as last
A week to live and love
And then your time to pass

But in this frigid atmosphere
I'll smile despite the cold
You are ne'er forgotten
My heart you have to hold

Break this selfish

Sense of being

Make a move

Beyond your breathing



Hate

can do so much

Love

The healing touch



Buried away until tomorrow

Find the day for you it's borrowed

Let this resting day

Show you strength to get away



Hold your ground

Look past the bleeding

Hold the truth

When it's worth keeping



Fight

To stay alive

Rise

Surpass this climb



Buried away until tomorrow

Find the day for you it's borrowed

Let this hallowed day

Show you strength to get away



Lift your hands and feel this

Selfless sense of being

Bare you hearts to feel this

Final life remarking meaning



Buried away until tomorrow

Find the day for you it's borrowed

Let this resting day

Show you strength to get away



Buried away until tomorrow

Find the day for you it's borrowed

Let this hallowed day

Show you strength to get away



I'll show my strength and get away

Countless times through this trail and error
I've dug past the ******* and saw you as fair
**** the fights those nights where I hated us both
Cuz I knew that with you was me at my most
Not at my best cuz my best can't exist
A best takes the test to prevail not dismiss
But with you that's my last. Last possible thought
Cuz with you I'm at my worst but you're all that I've got

So how can it happen where we fall apart
We is now me and you bound to separate marks
I take in this breathe but forget to exhale
I'm more than just ****** cuz I know that I've failed
To you I'm just me not a person to love
Not the one that you want but the one that you trust
I've ****** myself down in this meaningless trail
But Ima find that ******* rabbit and make that ***** wail

Due time come to be
It was never meant for you and me
But I can tell you now
It was meant to be

I share everything with myself
Because I know I'm one to trust
But for some reason
It's you I wanna breathe
It's you that I want
Here with me

******* aside
I know my past
Filled with envy
That's meant to last

Yet i miss you now
Only hours have gone
Sense I've kissed you lips
Since I've wrote this song

A pathetic attempt
A hand has been reached
Pushed into a drought
Robbing you of your depth

Drink away that ember
Your making of your heart
Reflects your repulsive attempt of a soul
With the drink you hold within your hand

I'm done with you and your antics.
