You'll run away,
But all your things are here to stay.
I'm tapping on the glass,
Won't you give me one last glance?

I'm fighting to give our love
One last chance.

Reach into your heart
And find the words so hard to spill.
Don't leave to find your next fill.
Love isn't just another pill.
Alex Granados Mar 2014
I've called it my home,
A place I can call my own.
I keep the door locked,
But not for outsiders.
Rather to keep myself in.

The windows are still shut,
But I don't need fresh air.
I've already suffocated myself
With this blanket over me
Keeping me away from the truth.

I'm losing the people closest to me
And I'm afraid I'll be alone.
Left with no visits I n hospital wards.
I'm afraid I'll be the one
To pull the chord.

I'm living in a
Static state-of-mind.
You're the antagonist
In this story
That has become
My strife.
Alex Granados Mar 2014
I'm speaking to you,
My hero,
Won't you answer my questions?
Why must I keep
A silent voice
And do as the world pleases?
I do not have it in me
To hear another preach
Or another speech.

Why am I caught in between
The good and evil
in me?
Is it because
you were never a hero to me
From the start?
Or maybe I never needed
You in my heart.

A mass delusion
Is all I see
While I'm fighting the demons
I have hiding inside me.
The savior I need
Has drowned in an epic sea.

I'm connecting the dots
In a dream so faint.
The lines are so blurred
I can no longer tell
If they're really even there.

You used to be the heroine
In fairy tales
That relayed on movies screens
In my dreams.
They never did have
Happing endings.

But now you've disappeared.
Right before my eyes
Lies the truth my inner demons
Could never admit were true:
The heroine is no longer you.

Light a beacon
And shine it on the path
That I am supposed to take.

I'm trying to gather my bearings,
But it feels like
I'm already too lost.

I've been wearing a mask
Cuz a smile is not all it takes;
This image is a portrait of a fake.

I'm too exhausted to run.
I've gotten as far as I can toss.
Hopefully up to now
It was worth the cost.

Have I lost the words
Or am I just trapped?
You'll hear me scream,
Yet not a sound will pour out.

The floor board creaks,
The thumps on the wall,
The shadows at the corner of my eyes,
The faint whispers
I think I heard-

Every little sense has drowned.
Every thought floats around.
I'm running in circles
Trying to decode your last goodbye,
But I think I'm starting to fail.
My own heart has become my jail.
