Once Upan a Time

Silent thoughts and heavy breathing Running through screaming woods Eyes upon you Faster and faster it chases what was left Your heart pounds out of your chest Steady crunching of trees and twigs You go to scream but you can’t find the words Or the voice that was given to you A gift that was left on the floor Slowing down you climb this hill Looking off to the ocean you stop at a cliff The night sky beautiful But the person behind you intends to harm Devastation as you see your face in the mirror Through broken words and lost I love yous You plant your knees into the ground Breaking down a look of sympathy From your other half The monster you have become is the man with the gun On your forehead a slight click Your worthless body fell off the cliff Like fallen stars you rest in the ocean
