Words from the Mouth of Midnight

Brake

My dreams were yours to take,

Though I don’t even know you.

I try for my family’s sake

to leave this in the rearview.

You’ve caused me so much grief,

There’s so much pain in how I live.  

You’re nothing more than a thief,

You’re a monster I can’t forgive.

All my brothers live my dream,

and I’m stuck on the side line.

This is a wrong you can’t redeem,

I won’t pretend that I’m fine.

With the glass my joy was shattered,

On the night you won’t remember.

All the pieces, small and scattered,

Melt away like a burning ember.

You monster how did you not see

My dreams lying in the headlights?

You drank poison yet it’s killing me,

I won’t pretend that I’m alright.

I could have been great too,

but because of you I’m broken.

I swear I truly hate you,

I don’t regret what I’ve spoken.
