MISERY
All I can do is sit here
Bare and
Exposed
Hoping to cleanse myself
And free myself
From all this pain
They say misery needs company
Why did it have to seek out me?
To be its friend
I was minding my own business
In a world where I never
Had the urge to know love
But you appeared
And lured me into a place
Of great expectations
Only to be left empty handed
Alone
And filled with such a savage pain
In my heart
That I could tear the paint off the walls
With my bear hands
I have no tears
They refuse to fall
Refuse to release my soul
As punishment for
The grave mistake I made
By taking you into my heart
Numbed and shattered
By the reality of your deception
I am overwhelmed with grief
Devastated
I turn to the shadows of my walls
To hide me
To take away my shame
But they cannot spare
Me from the destruction
That runs rampant inside me
Tearing me up
Breaking me apart
Slowly and perfectly
Until I have nothing left
No feeling
No memory of emotion
Just me
Lost
Fragile
Unaware
Just me
Crushed
Alone
Bare
COMPANY
Aawww
Come here
Take my hand
Get up from there
You don't have any reason
to feel sad
All the tears
in this old world
won't wash your pain away
Let me hold you
It wasn't love
that did this to you
Someone who did not know
what they had
with you
in you
Taking you
for granted
is the stupidest thing
they coulda done
Don't cry
It wasn't meant to be
You weren't lured into love
you love your heart
and found out their love
couldn't handle you
They lost...dear
not you
Stop crying now
You still have your heart
your loving heart
In time
that pain
will be replaced
with a brand new love
a brand new chance
with new memories
of how real love
can truly be
happy
hopeful
exciting
giving
receiving
secure
and full of joy
