The Noose

I just want to escape. 
Run from this place. 
It seems like I’m always alone.
I feel like I’ll never get away. 

Hide my self away. 
So your demons can’t over take me. 
I think I know your type. 
Better then you ever could.  

Throw away all of these memories. 
Tainted with your poison. 
The deception swims in my mind. 
Just like your laugh use to. 

I don’t think I’ll be able to break away.
You keep me close even though you don’t love me. 
Your ropes are tied tighter, 
than the noose around her neck.
