I am so lost, no where is my home
my eyes wander streets like deceptive planets
my mind sweeps the sidewalk and wishes it found answers
my feet don't move for the ache and sorrow
my soul surrounds most of my body, like a lonely phantom
who will find me?who will care?who will take me elsewhere?

she cries and whines what isn't right is wrong
she drinks the problems down'till the last drop is gone
she remembers her country so clear though she's so young
roaming the streets'till a best friend ends with a gun
and then when she moved into this town years and years ahead
she could never forget the blood her friend had shed
and so she found the bottles her mom had hid and played the game her daddy played no one knew, though she was just a kid
fell for a boy who needed to fix the world so he tried to fix the problems she drowned in, a river  which flows too fast
but no matter how hard he tried she cried and cried
when he wanted to fix her she only denied
he grew impatient, wanted to leave"please just stay!" her eyes would plead
and he refused, her emotional insanity had driven him wild the only help she recieved, she ruined
threatened to end her life, if he left too
ignited the flame with sadness in her heart
she turns to the bottles, weakness rewinds to the start

silence in the halls
your footsteps a tick of a bomb
i hear your nervous heart-pound pound pound-remembering the start
i glance away, you rush right past
the feelings may have faded away, but the memories, they last
the breeze between us, whiff my perfume and remember my scent
back when you loved me, when we went to bed so content
and when you pass me you must recall all the times in your head
when you promised me the other side of your bed
it still haunts me though, seeing your eyes shift with unease
such a big change from how they used to tease
but every time you pass I just know how i feel, it wasn't going to last
but what we had I still believe was real and so it goes
we pretend we are nothing more than strangers passing by, our sudden glows
drag my heart across the floor where your feet are quickly moving away, it falls
just a feeling we once knew
a silence in the halls

— The End —
