As I wander through my darkest nights

I wonder what light is like

Sitting on concrete , dark as can be

My mind plays tricks on me

Thinking of life as sugar and sweet

But all I see is bitterness and discrete

Parts of my mind become separate

And my souls leaves me helpless

Can I escape? Or will I get caught?

From the holders that keep me in this sought

My head is telling me to stay near

But my heart is saying break out of here!!!!

I followed my heart , I took the bait , I ran out of this scary place

The people heard , they grabbed the guns

My Mind said surrender

But my heart said run

I ran and ran as fast as I can

Until I ended up in someone’s hands

They knocked me out until I saw red

And I ended up back at the place I fled

I opened my eyes and started crying

Begging and pleading to stop me from dying

They followed my plead

And tied me to a tree

They whipped me until I fell onto my knees

I tried so hard , not to be weak

But that’s when the tears started falling to my feet....they picked me up and dragged me back to that dark scary place they call a shack

Where the shackles are that’s where I hang knowing in my mind I’ll never escape BUT MY HEART TELLS ME DIFFERENT THINGS

the blanket covers me whole, wrapped around me and i imagine, it’s you.

hovering over me, your sturdy arms keeping me steady. and it’s warm here, safe. i snuggle further into the bed, and breathe.

faintly, in the back of my mind, i can feel the sun rising, feel it’s beams of light shining through my room. my eyes are closed, i can’t see it but can feel it. and it’s irritating. i want the dark. i want you.

faintly, in the back of my mind, i can hear loud voices and muffled footsteps from beyond my door. the family waking awake. and it’s irritating. i want to hear your voice. i want you.

but you are not here, not here (beside me) only your remains that i desperately try cling to.

there’s an itch on her skin that’s driving her crazy

she digs her nails into her skin and scratches

scratches and scratches until her skin flake like shards of glass

but it’s still not enough

she burrows into her flesh and digs further,

tears her muscles from her bones

like it’s made of paper,

graps hold of her ribs and crushes them

until they become dust and pile on the floor

and then wretches her lungs from the chest

rips her face and lets it shatter

on the floor, in ripples

doesn’t stop until there’s only skeleton left,

with no ribs and just her heart

only his arms holding her up

his kisses giving her oxygen

Verse 1:

My fragile heart has formed a cage

And all these bars won’t break with age

I fell in love, you captured me

And Now I just can't turn the key

Pre-chorus:

And it seems that you moved on

Feelings change, but mine aren’t gone.

Chorus:

I would give my heart and soul

Just so you could be made whole

And I would crawl down on my knees

To break your chains and find the key.

Yet you leave me in the dark

Picking up the pieces of my heart.

And you leave me out at sea,

Now who will come and rescue me?

Verse 2:

Been fighting demons on my own

To avoid the seeds that I had sown

And reap the sorrow and the pain

To make me feel alive again

Pre-chorus:

And it seems that you moved on

Feelings change, but mine aren’t gone.

Chorus:

I would give my heart and soul

Just so you could be made whole

And I would crawl down on my knees

To break your chains and find the key.

Yet you leave me in the dark

Picking up the pieces of my heart.

And you leave me out at sea,

Now who will come and rescue me?

Bridge:

Because I’m lovin’ you even though it hurts,

Even though I know that it’s gonna get worse

But I just can’t help it

I just can’t help it

I’m fallin’ and fallin’ and I just can’t stop
