My Reckless Self

They told me that I murdered you, placed you on side of roads naked, broken in two. My heart leaped, each morning I woke without you by my side. When I was able to glance in steady mirrors, and saw no more of you A smile shone across my face. I am different, no worries For I will be victorious. They say that I have freed myself. No more will your face taunt my restless nights No more will my mind give way to sinister games. At night when I turn over, I leap for joy for I can not see your face. When words are spoken and an echo isnt granted I sigh with ease. I was different, no troubles My life seemed to of changed I wake with fear in my soul No Please NO!! My knees buckled from anchored ships weighed upon them. When day turns to night... In horror stands this merciless being bearing deep into my soul. I hear an echo.. In desperation, I claw at this unrelenting image, inflicting pain, in hopes it disappears. Only to hear her laugh as crimson rain streams down my face. Cold-blooded image whispers... I WILL NEVER LET YOU CHANGE.
