Break the Silence

This is my final lullaby
I lay my head down
My mind a shattered mess
What a pitiful mess I’ve become.
A bitter taste left in my mouth
I couldn’t fathom this ever happening
But here I stand at my crossroads
Being stretched to every corner
I can’t take this loss
I never saw this coming
Tell me when
This will all finally end.
In a way that shocked my system
Jolted me awake
Into this bitter nightmare.
I wish I could go back to sleep
Back to the place
Where I know I’m safe.
I can’t take this heartache
I can’t take this pain.
I lost my sense of time,
When did this first begin?
A pain so intense
I can taste the blood in my mouth.
Sweet innocence,
I can never gaze into your eyes again.
Forgotten and broken
Maybe I can just lie here
And forget everything,
And just remember your face
Just this one last time.
Never let me forget your face,
Burn it into the grains of my memory.
