Alone, yes you were

But you don't even try to deny it

You didn't even care

Living like you were in line,

Waiting to die….

Showing only contempt

Secrets, lies

Who knew they would touch deeper

Than anything ever had?

Living without a care in the world

Or so it seemed….

But those who knew

If ever there were such people

Could see the scars

From the only fight you ever lost…

You weren't searching for anything

It didn't matter

The world could go down in flames

And it still wouldn't matter

But then…something changed

You saw an angel

And he redefined life

Perhaps he was the only one who was really alive?

Who was he, really?

Why didn't he understand

That life is death?

But then you were dying

Just when you found something to live for

You saw your hand

Snatching at your own life

Trickling through your fingers

The cross on your back

Gets heavier

With every passing breath

Even though you are just kneeling here

Begging for another chance

At the life you didn't have before

Or want

Or need

You just didn't care

But it's too late now

Cut off

And the tears stop falling

The words stop flowing

And you

…you stop trying
