Dec 2010
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 ******* 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.
