I wasn't the flower in a vase,
          more like in amber,

Captured within a vessel
of unreachable ambiguity.

I was seen but not heard,
                a silent movie of beauty,

That screamed silently,

                                  but was
         smiling on the outside.

My other half, was the remote,
                 batteries never inserted
so instead hitting the screen but

not where bruises could be seen..

For perfection shouldn't be blemished.


They didn't have a mute button,
   only loud when alone..

"Morning,

Was the catalyst for the repercussions
         of anothers manners,

         but I never answered back,

but still I was flirting with my looks..

I'm freely caged, never able to fly..
       Instead I perch clipped wings

never aloud to fly beyond there eyesight.

A silent slimmer
Of this silvery hope
Lies untainted,
untouched.
I see its natural beauty
through the crumbling wall,
Its reverent radiance
Residing upon my face,
Turning it into
The same silvery hope
That I am lucky to gaze upon.

This decrepit wall never needed
To come crashing and crumbling down,
I just needed to become the silver
That slips through its openings,
And rise into my rightful freedom.

I think I’m living in a box,
trying to hide from you.
I don’t like to lie,
but what is true anymore?
I’m sick to my stomach
that you can think of me,
claiming me as yours,
when you didn’t work for anything.

I feel like trash, I feel like dirt.
Watching you take and take,
and just sitting there
with my eyes purposely closed.
I was so lonely, I didn’t know
what it felt like to really be touched.
So I let myself get shut
up inside this way.

You’re like a greedy child

who can’t keep their hands away.
You don’t keep your hands away.
And I feel useless.
Of course I’m one of those.
Of course I don’t leave.
And remember the little girl
who promised she’d never take this?

I see the light from outside,
but he’s not getting any closer.

I don’t have him.
I can’t have him.

How did it feel?
It was like my wings had been clipped, and I would wait patiently for them to grow back.
Slowly and languidly, one feather at a time, until they were thoroughly repleted so that I could take flight and soar through the skies!
Only to remember...
I was still in the cage.

there are the mountains
there is the sea
there is my whole life
right in front of me
stuck by the mountains
stuck by the sea
i’m losing my mind

trapped in a place where the sun never shines
didn’t i tell you? i’m losing my mind
yet i’m used to this now, so i’ll carry on
i’ll tell them that everything’s fine

i’m lost to the mountains
lost to the sea
lost to the world here
in front of me
dreading these mountains
dreading the sea
i’m losing my mind

trapped in a hole that nobody can find
didn’t i tell you? i’m losing my mind
this is a bad dream, but i can’t wake up
because there’s a fine line
between life and insanity

I am trapped
Inside my own head
Unable to free myself
From the awful voices
My mind it speaks
Of darkness and hate
Of death and sorrow
I am trapped
