the silhouette behind a heavy mist
and a shadow of wandering wist
a promise made since worlds ago
you've forgotten it i know
cataclysmic tranquility
from faux visions longing to be free

- - -

let our minds be astronauts
in zilch gravity, with no faults
rest our souls in equilibrium
no worries, just delirium
and let love be the acceleration
to utter self destruction

- - -

behind her steel facade
is a sorrow with no reason
emotions locked imprisoned
morph into despair

behind her steel facade
hides a boiling, raging love
longing to be free
like a tiny white-winged dove

behind her steel facade
is a well filled deep with tears
coiling like storm waters
like her deepest darkest fears

behind her steel facade
lives a hope with dying light
with smoke and flickering life
it died and turned to night

- - -

behind her steel facade
lies a dead weight in her chest
inching towards destruction
but that she'd never confess

ramblings of a girl
with roses in her mind
yet sorrow in her soul
broken thorns in her heart

ramblings of a girl
with fire in her smile
yet ice prisms in her core
an unbreakable wall

ramblings of a girl
her laugh ethereal windchimes
yet teardrops drunk as wine
a salty flavor of despair

ramblings of a girl
with a garden in her room
yet the sun never shines
petals falling two by two

- - -

ramblings of one girl
her words come to life
yet she'll never be free
like the winged birds
her poems are

you're worth much more
than cigarette smoke
the hazy high
of a drug

you're worth much more
than ***** shots
and the cuts that
marr your skin

you're worth much more
than falling tears
the quiet,
wrecking sobs

you're worth much more
than broken glass
the cutting,
harsh cold words

- - -

you're worth much more
than a fraying rope
and dangling legs
over a fallen stool

i once knew a girl
she wrote poems about you
where your smile was her world
and your warmth, her life

i once knew a girl
she sang songs about you
where your laugh was her lullaby
at bedtime, so divine

i once knew a girl
she painted pictures of you
where your arms are around her waist
and your hands in her hair

i once knew a girl
she collected tears in a jar
whispering verses of love
she mailed them all to you

- - -

you once knew a girl
she was everything to you
now she's sleeping under a grave
and dreaming about you
