Sick of the crying

Sick of the tears

Tired of trying

Afraid of the fears

Loneliness, sorrow

Thoughts of tomorrow

Makes me feel lost,

Alone in the world

Afraid of the cost,

Of breaking what's sworn

A promise or two,

All for you.

With empty eyes

A sobbing soul

No smiles will fly,

No way to feel whole

It's so hard to try

It's so hard to breathe

It's hard not to die

When I see that darn sheath

I keep from moaning

Hold back the groaning

The clock strikes midnight

With no way to flee

The beckoning twilight

Begging for me

I hold my breath tight

And wait for the night

When finally I,

Can give in to the knife

With no where to run

Until morning must

Covered in Sun

Show off the red rust

The stage is all set

The people have met

They were given their chance,

And ignored all the signs

So the white picket fence

Covers up all the lines

Lips pursed in perfection,

Left lost, no objection

And now I can lay

All alone in the end

With no one to stay

And apologize for hitting send.
