Life makes no mistakes
Or so they say
They say to do whatever it takes
To make this your best day
But what if at the end of every good day
There were consequences for being happy
What if at the end of hours of play
Everything changed from great to crappy
lost in my mind
and honestly I’m downing
can’t get in a breath
all I hear is the shouting
it’s coming from all angles
and they left me for dead
all the angels ran
now I’m stuck with the demons in my head
Once I wished to love
Once I wished to smile
Once I wished to be free
Once I wished to be me
Then I hoped to stay
Wishing things were fine
Now I hope to be okay
Knowing things don't shine
you said you’d never lie,
you promised i could trust you,
yet your lies reek, and your dishonesty is like a hammer
every reassuring word like another swing at my already shattered heart.
the bloodied pieces dirty the floor, some of them still pulsing.
you apologize again, then demand i clean it up.
I need my heart to live, my dear,
i want to stay alive.
but it’s okay, take another swing,
because unlike you,
i meant it when i said i’d die for you
(i know it’s a bit longer and it’s only the first draft, so please excuse the silly wording)
