It's one of those days
When lack of sleep catches up
When time takes it's toll
And everything hurts

A constant pain
That won't go away
You tell yourself you're fine
But you know you can't escape

All your years of fighting
Slowly drift away
The darkness closes in
Now it's up to you

Will you stay?

What you do
Will define you
It's your choice.

I could try to describe
A sunrise
A new day
Emerging from the East

I could try to describe
A day
How each hour passes
Sun bright in the sky

I could try to describe
A sunset
An ending
Departing to the West

I could try to describe
A night
Stars twinkling
Deep blue space, waiting

I could try to describe
Time
Clocks ticking
Never ceasing

Seconds
Minutes
Hours
Days
Weeks
Months
Years


It all goes by
So fast
Once it's gone
It can't come back
Time passes quickly. Spend yours wisely.

I was an angel once
I had a home
A family
Friends

I looked down at the world and saw good
I saw peace and harmony
I saw joy and happiness
I saw kindness and love

I was an angel once who looked down at the world
From my home in the clouds
It wasn't long until I came crashing down

Falling
Falling
Falling
Falling


I was an angel once
I had a halo
I had wings
I had a place to call home

But I fell

There's no going back

My wings are singed
My halo in shatters

I cannot go back

I'm now on earth
Walking amongst man
I now see the dark
I now see the hate

I was an angel once
Ignorant and blind
I believed the world to be a happy place
But then I left heaven behind
When you lose your innocence there's no going back.
Scarlett Willow Dec 2015
The sun rises on a perfect day
The clouds are hiding
The gentle breeze has blown them away

I sit outside breathing in the warm spring air
My surroundings are wonderful
But it just doesn't seen fair

The butterflies fly by; each on they're own little path
I'd rather join them
Than face this inner wrath

I want to be free
I want to fly
Why can't anyone see

I just want to be free

Who knows where I'll be tonight

I could be alone
I could be sad
I could be happy
I could be with friends
I could be with family
I could be off in the distance
I could be nearby
I could be struggling
I could be free
I could run
I could stay
I could be wherever I want
I could be whoever I want

Who knows where I'll be tonight
In my dreams

There's really nothing to look forward to
But you already knew that

I know where you've been
I know what you've done

But sweetheart
I'm worse

I can't calm this thing inside
At least not alone
But you already knew that

You've been there before
You know the suffering

The cold, dark hands tearing and ripping
Only to start all over again the next day

You've already been ******
Now I suppose it's my turn
Scarlett Willow Dec 2015
Love was supposed to be beautiful

It was supposed to be gentle

It was supposed to be kind

I never expected it to be this...
Not this
Never this

Not this sorrow

Not this pain

Not this ache

You we're supposed to stay
You we're supposed to be here
You we're supposed to be with me forever

Like you promised...

But that's life I suppose...

It's gone in an instant and there's nothing I can do
But miss you
