Destiny Faded
how could i test my wings
when you had already burned my mind
i somehow never could of flown
because you couldn't be bothered to find
a special, hidden part of me
underneath my hardened shell
maybe i'm just in a dream
for a moment i thought i fell
in love with you so deeply
but then i paused my eyes
and woke up and suddenly saw
your hidden badness and lies
how could i begin to trust
when you had none for me
so selfishly swept up
but far too blind to see
that you weren't all that real
but your warmth so kind
waking from a dream
but not only to find
that you had just left
without no reason, so why
am i drowning so deeply
before i am able to fly
to a safe haven
holding me in your arms
forgetting all that is real
just to embrace me in your charm
that isn't there
do you believe in someone else?
as my destiny has faded
my heart it melts
