i bargained to skip this chapter
but what's gold to a God,
what's one soldiers life to a king.
why claim you deserve a miracle
when to beat the odds,
so many are to be the odds.
tell me,
who's in favor of what mortality brings?
in my dreams,
i'm taught how to keep you alive.
in my dreams,
your shadows have warning signs.
it's only in my dreams
your ashes rise from the dead,
like a phoenix, you fly
yes, your alive in my head.
but when the lullabies stop
and daylight breaks,
color bleeds out my ears.
i am back to my world
of black and grays
here,
my inferno, my flames
burn to catch blame,
on anyone strong enough
to handle what came;
i sobbed out salt oceans
i flooded the earth.
i drowned out the support
i know i'm not worth.
hunger became comfort,
the ache became trust,
so that none of this hurt
would fade into dust
keep me haunted by ghosts only i can see,
don't leave me stranded
without the pain of your memory
