Earthquake

The ground threatens to swallow me, it trembles and it shakes. You can't run from shadows, or amend all your life mistakes.

 

I've always thought the floor was glass, knew one day that it would shatter. Head held high all my life, even though I never matter.

 

It's a struggle just to stand, always on uneven ground. Life was better for a moment, back when he was around.

 

Now is when it falls apart, my lungs forget to breathe. But I've been though loss before, and learned sorrow will ever leave.

 

I refuse to admit defeat, but this world falls apart. Earthquakes ruin all I've made, and leave this black hole I call a heart.
