Death has crawled in to my soul
Poisoning my love with hate
The warmth I had has turned ice cold
Oh please just freeze my fate
For if fate were true it has decided
To break my life in half
Just tell me please what was it I did
For life to take my laugh
Pain has drawn its ugly head
Upon the canvas that is my life
I feel to paint an ugly pain in red
On my wrists with a knife
These tears taste of just regret
My final coin I tossed
I gambled on this girl I met
My most important bet I lost
The hopeful fool whispers to me
His voice makes me shake with fear
I know her hand is no longer mine to hold
But he whispers ‘persevere’.
Dreams are dead the grief is dark
Murdered by mistakes
All the cuts have left their mark
Scars watch as my heart breaks
Finding solace hard to find
A future looking bleak
I’ve gone to war with my mind
Paranoia knows I’m weak
Dress my aching days with lies
Waking to the ticking of pretend
Faking will just about hide the cries
But not the fact I’ve lost my friend
And if I fall in love again
It won’t be with all of my heart
Because she will own a piece forever
She has done from the start
