Gone For Now

Words hurt like fire burning inside your body Spitting out ashes through your eyes Water is building up inside my lungs Drowning in reality Being with you hurts Around you it aches I bruise easily Your words are like knives stabbing Ripping out my guts Sorrow buries me knee deep into my grave Nobody there to be my safe Wish I could keep you in my life But there is no end to the trudge It's like walking on a cliff I never know when I'm going to get pushed So I have to cut you out The need for love will grow more Shelter my heart for now I'll keep it locked inside my tomb Put the chains on it Barrie the key to the lock Hide these tears that will come for now Maybe one day we can get back to trying to put broken things back together But for now it's rocks in the dirt there's only so many pieces you can pick up before your back aches Wish you would love me But it's too good to be Your still my family But for now it's got to get erased So goodbye for now steal away our memories Cuz I won't be able to bare remembering I'll stick them on wings of doves In hope of peace ....
