Tear Drenched Death

Four walls built not to keep people out but to keep me in Can’t risk the pain Can’t risk the loss I push you away and play with his heart Alone and lost in myself enforced prison I wait and wait for the walls to come down He forces the door open and you watch from afar He hates what he finds and leaves me broken in a pool of my own tears I pull on the doors and as they close I watch your eyes long to help me but you don’t As the doors close and lock Still crying it fills to my ankles and I fall to my knees The waters rise and my clothes are drenched I can’t stop and I begin to drowned Brick by brick my world falls The water rushes out and I see it all from above My cold tear drenched body You run to my rescue but it’s too late Lying over my limp body you cry Watching this seen my heart brakes I close my eyes and awake in my cell seeing all that is coming I shove at the bricks they tumble to the ground and I run into your arms safe from myself and alive again
