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
