Slivers
All these things deep within
A jagged piece beneath my skin
Yet I take it with a painful grin
Allowing this is sure to fail
Another scratch with an infected nail
Left alone with no detail
I lay along this slow soft river
The coldness makes me shiver
Take away this love life sliver
My heart shattered in two
Still I hurt as I miss you
If I had only knew
I could have taken it lying down
With a lonesome frown
While you where your uniform crown
Again I look into this cracked mirror
It lets me see things so much clearer
Only I still wish you were near
I want to stay awake
Too much for me to take
For simple god's sake
A smile
Fake plaster tile
Alone for such a long while
Will I die?
Will I cry?
I know I will lie
Through these eyes I seen only hatred
Wishing that you were dead
But then I would dread
That sudden fact of love
The only one I know
Adrift like black snow
Tell me something new
Like if we are actually through
And how to get a clue
I know I hold so much anger
Its not like I’m a complete stranger
In a merciless danger
Will I be able to hold you once more
After you walk out that damaged door
I have heard your feeble attempts at truth before
It will rain down upon your like sleet
Till the day our lips again meet
As past meets present you will again cheat
But your promise still stands
While sleeping peacefully holding hands
Seeing all those emotional bands
When you said that you would never leave
An idea that you could never conceive
How naive was I to believe
That you were a truthful princess
And that you would never leave me in distress
But still you walked out in your black dress
The hunger inside will only drive
Me to devour and strive
To be alone and alive.
