For to bear this heavy heart
iv seen naught shame to be
the only person in my heart
but you where not for me

and so i digress
this mess
iv set my own cruel stage
and here i wander desolate
the last chapter
turn the page

turn a blind eye to these wounds
iv bled my own veins dry
i can stand and take that blow
bleed for love, and sigh

so unto my dusk of days
last breaths and empty hands
i hide my shame in gasps of pain
let loose my unmade plans

and how i held you dear to me
you would never know
so broken up this splintered soul
with no place left to go


Whispered onto a fleeting breath
that you would never hear
i loved you child, past my own self
past my own doubts and fear

leapt without a glimpse of ground
so if ever you grow to care



suspended dead my half strung heart



...I'm lost, but i am there
