On the edge of a valley,

I survey the ruined land.

Too great a devastation,

My mind can’t comprehend…

Today was my funeral,

It was saddened by the rain.

But the saddest part of all is,

I’m the only one who came…

Relentless the scenes,

From reality’s gaze.

As it looks back to rewrite,

My nights and my days…

Please set me free,

Let me go, let me fly.

If I’m trapped for much longer,

My heart soon will die…

Now I lay me down to rest,

My life is gone, I welcome death.

Six nails to seal my mortal fate,

In darkness I for glory wait.

Lost in a crowd,

Of faces, of skin.

Lost in a crowd,

One in a million…

I wish you were a rock,

Steady and true.

That when push came to shove,

You just wouldn’t move…

In a forest all alone,

She weeps under the trees.

She tried to walk the path,

But she can’t get off her knees…

My blood rushes out,

But where does it go?

I’m terrified and faint,

My face white as snow…

With my hands on my face, 

My breath can’t escape,

As I wait for the truth in his words.

I hope they’ll wake me up,

From this sick nightmare but,

They only make the nightmare worse…

Long are the days,

Even longer still the nights.

As I think of all the ways,

You have left me in my fright…

On the edge of the woods,

She sits in a tree.

A perspective the house,

Isn’t tall enough to see…

Do not speak to me of joy,

Do not utter words of peace.

Let my heart lament,

Let me enter into grief…

Keep my heart alive,

It’d be easier if it died.

But what good can come, from going numb?

My heart’s already tried…

It’s time for me to rest,

It’s time for some relief.

The time when my mind,

Can finally sleep…

Restore unto me,

That which was lost.

The gift that was mine,

That was stolen and tossed…

Father, I’m hungry,

I’m desperate to eat.

If the food on the table,

Is not meant for me,

Please give me the scraps,

That fall underneath…

This river of grief,

So wide and so deep.

Rushing, overwhelming,

Waves pound and they beat…

No one is as cruel,

As the girl in the mirror.

She says the rudest things,

As she looks on in horror…

Please catch all my sorrows,

Please gather my tears.

I’m afraid if you don’t,

I’ll be forever stuck here…
