Killing Me Softly

Splitting straws reveal tears of unfair truth 
long and short of it bugs with ugly voices swear
Finding you are under the carpet 
hiding inside echoes disturbing peace 

The breaking point makes a stand rightly silence 
shattering glass on the surface breaks code 
Mirrored reflection flashbacks past repeating sins 
Playing the same old downer breaking feelings 

Rewinding backwards sorry does not get it anymore 
That shows a moon's face upside down frowning
Thanking the lucky stars above
in destinies quest unfolding 

We all know our soul purpose love remains true 
there we see the snake that holds chains hurt
Legion of cold icy rain runs down the cheeks 
demon your breath touches deep a fired memory
 
Torturing a body heart and mind aches with grief
Loveless my eyes just swam away lost direction 
Caught drifting on cloud nine of your breath 
frozen particles remain completely cold 
spawning new direction forward and out
