Jade

Ice is swiftly creeping in

Freezing around my numb heart

Taking hold of what’s left of me

Making the edges cold and sharp

 

You were my last link to that world

And I tried so hard to be that girl

But in the end that was not enough

Now I’m afraid you were the last chance I had

Of ever feeling love

 

Then the door was thrown wide open

I try to keep the apocalypse from coming in

But if I were a betting man

I’d say it would win

 

Death walks in and sits at the table

I want to scream but I am unable

And he says to let things take their course

As I ride away on his pale horse

 

Because giving up on love is so easy

When you become as jaded as me

There’s something wrong

When you find out he left you for a younger girl

And you’re just glad it wasn’t because of your personality

And you could get angry that you weren’t the one

But really there was nothing you could have done

It was doomed from the start

But you were so god **** willing to give up your heart

Because you were tired of feeling so empty

 

Now I’m cold and alone

As I fear is always meant to be

I feel the vessels harden, the beating slowing

And there’s nothing left in me

 

I feel the change from within

I try to keep the apocalypse from coming in

But I know I’m no match for it

So I open the door and let it in

 

Death tells me not to be afraid

These are the debts that must be paid

And even if I don’t deserve it, it could be worse

As I grin feeling my new power, riding away on my pale horse.
