~           I'm afraid to die           But don't we all fear our dreams           The limit's the sky.           Can you hear my screams? Night and death, the same The silence echoes Who will win this deadly game? No one really knows           What drove me to losing my mind,               this wasn't in my plans.           Could I find it in your hands or did           you drop it along the way?           I've yet to find my heart so I sculpted           one from clay. This heart, has been carved out of stone, Hollow inside, filled with tears Terrified of love to my bones I've forgotten all my other fears.           It's Love that keeps me up at night.           Or perhaps it's The absence of           Your strong arms that held me so           tight.           I wore you out, now nothing fits right. You were the other half to my heart, Now it's in pieces and battered, I think there's still some missing parts You left me alone and completely shattered           That leaves me as half of who I used           to be.           I thought hearts were inseparable.           And of course that means half of you           is missing as it is with me.           And it's beating but it's miserable. Locked away, never to be loved Thoughts of you keep me up at night That you could of done this, astounds me, Now, no other love will ever feel right           And I wonder if anything will be so           tight           That it could cut off my circulation           I'm tired of life's fight           I've already lost my imagination.. My mind has gone blank, From all this destructive hate It was a love lost, forever gone I'd like to just say it was fate

Half Of Who I Used To Be ~~~ Collaboration with Nicole Ann Osborn
