Living Dead (Not Zombies)

A million stars shone above as I watched you walk away
Enveloped in despair because I knew you wouldn't stay
You tore my heart out readily then threw it to the floor
You walked out on what we had and then you locked the door

I'm trapped inside your chains, trapped inside with Fear
He sits in the corner and laughs and taunts and sneers
I'm trapped inside with no one else, it's worse than death itself
You locked me in an airtight jar and shoved me on a shelf

I'm dying from inside but I'll live on for many years
Alone with my sorrow and the endless stream of tears
I'll give up within a minute and I'll die within a day
But really, my life ended when I watched you walk away

I Still Hate You.

You made me suffer And watched me bleed; You opened the scars, And created some. I remember how you would hum; Our song repeatedly, While I sat beside you, Cradled in your arm, Safe from all harm.

Glue

You're feeling sick you say it's no less funnier than the games they play tugging on the heart strings of a fool. You thought you'd changed, but girl, you're to blame this time around the board.

Painful in my soul. My heart threatens my brain. I'm lost and unknown. I can't find my home. You tore me to shreds. Left me in the dust. So I could just lay there. For the rest of my life. And die.

I'm Angry

I'm angry. He's happy, Yet there is anguish inside of me, And I feel like I just stoop that low knowing it's not because of Me.

Nobody

He was nobody; a boy. He was somebody; to her. Hair clung to her face. Wet cheeks from the rain. Or was it from tears. She loved him so. He healed her heart. To heal her fear. Cost a hefty price.

What once was.

I used to watch the words flow from your mouth, I used to watch them fade away in the dead space you once called air. I used to breathe you in. Then you decided breathing wasn't an option.
