Thrown against the wall
Pounded and stomped small
Tossed into a fiery pit
Where the flames and the paper hit

Ink smeared and wiped away
By the falling tears that tried to stay
In your eyes, then on your face
And your life feels out of place
the one you thought had loved you
Spoke with words blatantly untrue

You feel as if throwing those words
Will free you of those mental wards
Wards of memories from the years
causing a painful ringing in your ears

Make the ringing stop
Lie those ballads on top
Of the fire that grew
Ashes and embers flew

And once all the paper is discarded
You realize the pain has only started
This isn't the way to overcome
All the pain that lies to come

There's only one way to liberate
Yourself from a world of unfair fate
Maybe you too should join the fire
To permanently escape that liar

*"And today we mourn the death
Of our dearest daughter, Elizabeth
She perished in a tragic flame
Like her feelings, she couldn't tame"
