Why do you
hide behind
a facade of hate

why does
your makeup
hide your beauty
I keep staring at your door from down the hallway
Tonight I couldn't make it to the moon
Looking at our pictures on the fireplace
Wishing it was me instead of you
It gets harder everyday but I keep on holding on

I need the product of your fears
In the form of tears
It's the only way I can survive
It breaks my heart to see you crying, baby
It's the only way I'll stay alive
Green eyes, blue skies
Natural disasters when she cries
Green eyes, they're mine
It's only a matter of time.

Oh, I built a world around you
Oh, you had me in a dream,
I lived in every word you said
The stars had aligned
I thought that I found you
And I don't wanna love somebody else

No, my god I drank too much.
Laughing while I'm crying.
Don't you let them know you're dying.
Dying to break out and dying to get, get out.
From the windows of the abyss.
Click my heels, but I am stuck here.
I'm pledging this vow

I want you forever, forever and always
Through the good and the bad and the ugly
We'll grow old together
Forever and always
They say silence
But I hear noises
All around me

Barely visible
Barely audible
Not dependable

The flickering of
A fake fire a metaphor
Of our world
I am a collection
Of different collections
Physical, emotional
Real, fantasy

I am shelves
Of books and books
Old, new
Worn, shiny

I am a bed
Full of half-forgotten dreams
Soft, solid
Warm, tired

I am a person
With a purpose and place
Real , emotional
Worn,  solid
You are
The angel that I see
Flying in my eye
Your halo of innocence
Hides the darkness inside

A beautiful flower
Watered with
Tears and cold blood
Withers without
Lies of her demons

Your inner flames
Cold and unforgiving
Almost extinguished
By the pains of
A broken heart
A glass face
A glass body
Perfection everywhere

A glass spirit
A glass soul
Fragile warmth

Glassy eyes
Glassy love
Shattered like your dreams

— The End —
