Tempted

Here I lay
lost in a daze
one moment my world
was hidden under a sweet facade,
the next my face is twisted into
a crooked line
here lies the story,
this life of mine
How can one day be so put together
the next day you wake up
and everything started to falter
and here you now stand in this altered
and broken memory of the day so far
here is what made my heart,
once again scar
One more tie
to a bloody wound
one more lie
to reality's doom
here is my dark moment 
alone in this empty room
