How Could You

Ive been a lot of places
In my life
But nowhere have I seen
The pain and the strife

I have seen Niagara
Fall from her eyes
But all those million droplets
They shatter just like ice

Aurora Borealis
I have seen the northern light
Radiating from her body
Now she can't shine bright

I have seen the great wall
She builds round her heart
Because of you now
She is back to the start

Ive been a lot of places
In my life
I saw you tear her apart
Cut her like a knife

I have seen the glaciers
They aren't the only things that melt
You destroyed the happiness
That she once had felt

I have seen the mountains
She has tried to move
Been by her side constantly
To comfort and to soothe

I have seen the Eiffel tower
She stands with elegant height
Now I'm picking her up off the floor
Its not a pretty sight

Ive been a lot of places
In my life
I saw you promise her that
One day she will be your wife

I have seen the statue
Of liberty she once had
She used to be, full of freedom
Now all she is is sad

I have seen the colosseum
All around her crumbled
She tries to keep her head up high
But you tripped her and she stumbled

I have seen the lost city
For she walks it every day
Nothing to her is real anymore
You took her life away

I've been a lot of places
I've seen a lot of things
In this world

But never have I seen the emptiness
The soul you drained
From this broken girl

Destroyed

We laughed and loved and I thanked the one above we gave each other everything far into the night we'd be singing.

Used

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.

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.

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.

The Year So Far

(You lot are probably sick of hearing it now but writing on here helps get it out of my head a little.) I can't eat, I can't sleep, I can't concentrate on anything, it's just her constantly.

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.

Cut me open, tear me apart. Crush my brain, destroy my heart. Take my body, use it, abuse it. I'm just an object to you and everybody knew it.
