Cry, he says
no more Tears
Smile they say
a kick in the teeth
Dance with me
my feet ran away
I laughed
She cried
no games to play
I stare at my cup
Nothing to drink
the tea's gone cold
I look to the wall
the paint peels off
I watch her blank stare
The pain screams into my heavy head
Finally I know
No way I'm not dea
Sit alone
Look to the stars
Dance with with the night
Ignore your scars
Dance with the night
The screams now fade
You watch the light
Now see it love you and leave you
All in the same night
I was no different
I still pushed in the morning
I still stared at a cold screen
I said, "I love you"
I still hurt the girl
I still fall and I fail
Pull the frail curtain back over my eyes
I've seen too much to not die.
One more burial, oh come to the service
A farewell until the new
No matter where I or you shall go
one thing is true:
I will always love you
I see fake smiles with dry teeth
on a dead tree I'm the last leaf
cling to the cliff
or fall without fear?
The tears.
Autumn again

— The End —
