These Four Walls (My Version)

these four walls
they bring me  insanity
they tie me to the past 
i knew they would always bring 

when we met 
you kissed me on my cheek
caressed my hands 
now that's ended....
i sit in a corner as i dread what forever will bring

i suppose i'll just sit and watch the 
rain fall down 
gray clouds, like a thick cover,
they cover my wings.....

i am not the angel 
that you've seen in your dreams,
when you left....
you took my soul
you are no longer the song i sing.....

these four walls
come crashing down 
the secret they hold
must never be told to you....

must have been something shouting 
inside my head 
when the world comes tumbling
that's not what i said

you left me
here in the silence
i sit in the rain...
watching as these four walls crash again.
