Ink Stained Fangs

Not Human

✶✶✶✶✶

I look above me in the sky

And watch the world go flying by.

And know that I'm forgotten

Though I could not tell you why.

Although I'm chased, I still get nowhere

Although I fall, I'll never fly.

I'm a dream that's burned to ember

And someday will surely die.

And it's so cold...

But I wrap my heart in sheets of ice

And pretend that I don't know.

But I'm so tired...

Of watching summer come to everyone

While I'll never feel its fire.

I used to play with flowers

And I used to fall in love.

But Baby flowers wither

And I was never good enough.

So I tumbled to the bottom

Of the crags where garbage goes.

And I learned to love the shadows

As I kept my doorway closed.

And it's so cold...

But I wrap my heart in sheets of ice

And pretend that I don't know.

But I'm so tired...

Of watching summer come to everyone

While I'll never feel it's fire.

I sometimes hear the rain

Crying against my lonely heart.

I wish that I could save it

But I don't where to start.

Because I know that I'm not human

I'm invisible you see.

Because even I've forgotten

The person that I used to be...
