Tear Drenched Death

Four walls built not to keep people out but to keep me in
 
Can’t risk the pain
Can’t risk the loss
 
I push you away and play with his heart
 
Alone and lost in myself enforced prison I wait and wait for the walls to come down
 
He forces the door open and you watch from afar
 
He hates what he finds and leaves me broken in a pool of my own tears
 
I pull on the doors and as they close I watch your eyes long to help me but you don’t
 
As the doors close and lock
 
Still crying it fills to my ankles and I fall to my knees
 
The waters rise and my clothes are drenched
I can’t stop and I begin to drowned
 
Brick by brick my world falls
 
The water rushes out and I see it all from above
My cold tear drenched body
 
You run to my rescue but it’s too late
Lying over my limp body you cry
 
Watching this seen my heart brakes
I close my eyes and awake in my cell seeing all that is coming
 
I shove at the bricks they tumble to the ground and I run into your arms safe from myself 
and alive again
