Why do we play pretense?
Till our hearts bleed
And we do the deed
Why feign ignorance?
About a connection that
Is clearly lost to us
Why force it?
When it's just not meant to be...
The flame of passion has died out
But we still hold onto the ashes
Like a lifeline
And our smoke filled lungs...
They don't have room
For oxygen anymore
The silence between us
Speaks volumes...
Rendering us speechless
Every now and then
Why not acknowledge?
The daunting demons
That lurk in the lonely grey lanes
Where it rains
Blood, sweat and tears
And we finally face our fears
In those dark alleys,
Of my misunderstood mind
I see your face
That haunts me still...
The bitter sweet truth
Slides down slowly like alcohol
Down my parched throat
And my head throbs
With the weight of the truth
It seeks to destroy me
From Inside out
All I can do is shout
Till my throat is sore
Till I can no longer
Feel you in the depths of my core
All that's left of you
Are the pangs of lonely love
Ebbing away into emptiness
I know it was so wrong
But it felt so right
To watch you burn bright
On that fateful night
And the way you
dissipated into the darkness
