In a garden of stone statues
I walked along and traced
My fingers over sculpted forms
Such detail in their face

And slowly as I plod along
I came across an arch
It was rough and worn and smelled of dust
But inside I did March

The air was cool and calm and still
And my footsteps echoed loud
And as I ventured forward
I began to feel quite proud

For I ran my hands along the walls
And covered them in dust
And wondered how this marvellous find
Had gone so long untouched
  
A few more steps around a bend
And a faint sound I could hear
The sobbing of a maiden
Did fall upon my ear

I hurried forth and and called out loud
Dear miss are you alright
I heard her shriek and sliding feet
And I ran with all my might

I flew round one more corner
And straight into a stone
And fell into a heap
I may have broke a bone

I cringed and moaned and groaned and sighed
As I clambered to my feet
I called dear maiden just once more
And began to feel defeat

As I turned to head back out
A soft voice spoke from near
You are not like the rest of them
Why did you come in here

I turned toward her voice
But she told me look away
I don't want you to see me
Not looking in this way

You look hurt she carried on
Your arm is damaged bad
Stay right there I'll fix a sling
Just don't look back dear lad

I heard her sound drift off
And return a moment later
I felt her soft hands wrap my arm
And to my health she did cater

I took her hand and kissed it
And whispered miss you're very sweet
I'd like to thank you properly
May I take you out my treat

She said that would not be wise
For as you'll plainly see
I'm a beast of little beauty
You could never care for me

I laughed for a moment
And pulled her close to me
Sweet maiden I am blind
I'll never plainly see

I turned my gaze toward her
And she looked upon my face
My still eyes gazed unwavering
As she gently held my face

She smiled at me a moment
And then began to cry
You're  the only one not turned to stone
When you look in my eyes

I kissed her once and smiled on back and pulled her close to me
I'll only ever love you for the beauty you can't see

i love you
i love you too
these words we did recite
which makes falling asleep so ******* hard
when you sleep with him tonight
i miss us
i miss your smile
ill end things with him today
and every time i trust you
every time my heart betrayed
i can't do this
it's ok
you lay
i lie
you sleep
while my heads not touched a pillow and no slumber did i keep
and now i pack a bag to see you
and of course him too
and promise i won't start ****
because i meant my *I Love You

When it's over will you crumble
Will your walls come crashing down
Will you stand there in the rubble
Afraid to make a sound
Will you pull the last stitched thread
And watch the seam be ripped apart
Will you stare blankly at the world as it tears apart your heart
Will you cuss at those around you
Will you yell out words of rage
Or tremble ever silent
Inside your mind your home your cage
Will you accept that this is your life
And you deserve your shame
Or will you stand in all your glory
And call triumphantly your name
