Farewell to A Love Long Gone
It was the first year of high school
I played the fool and fell in love
It lasted quite a while
But there is so much I can't comprehend
It started out of just a dare
A simple obsession with your hair
My ambitions to become your simple lover
Went far and flew into the air
I cannot forget the mistakes I made
Or the pain you caused my heart
For equal reactions on both sides
Cause me to look at this new start
I'm finally sailing away from that awful shore
But I can't help how I acted like a whore
I remember the good times and the bad times too
I kissed you on the cheek in my room
We played the virtual games that made us sing
And
My inside feels as if a dam has stopped a waterfall from cascading down a mountain
My eyes remain dry
They want to cry
My mouth is dry
It is wet too, from all the blood
My eyes are great cameras
Capturing films that are beautiful
Though even with all the beauty
I have deemed my self unlovable
I have decided never to live at my full potential
Marriage will wait for me in heaven
The purchase of no ring will save me thousands
And there is no heart to break
No innocence to ruin
No life to rot
I am giving it up
A hit was put out one night
In an alley way east of town
The assassin was promised riches beyond his wildest dreams
If he would end the life of a screaming man who always lived in pain
It was in the midnight hour the killer struck
He knocked the man down with a rock
Given special instructions to take the mans heart
He ran back home and put it in the light
He was promised riches beyond his wildest dreams
To end the screaming man's life
But there was no sound and there was no fight
Then the killer looked at the heart
On it there was a stanza
Engraved in the fleshy texture
What kind of gesture should the killer take?
He read it an
Bottles tipping into our mouths
Teenagers who know not a thing to letting it out
Coming undone to some old love songs
Gonna pass out because of the rum
I've got this thing
When I sleep, I gamble
I'm gonna put it all down for you
Stab a knife through my heart
Just to prove the truth
I pray to God everyday
That every second you'll be mine
And as long as I know where you are
I will always love you all the time
Now all the cigars that I have smoked
Are making a pile of ash
It all adds up and my pocket is broke on cash
It all has to do with you
Slipping from lies and blowing up the truth
My life is a siren blaring my growth
I n
In a filthy town lived a humble girl
Saddened by the filth and torn apart from the world
Each day seemed to create another crack
In her hands she let love slip past
In the midst of her room she painted prose
Almost ceasing the promise of growing old
The blood wrote many words but her mouth only uttered small sounds
She let love leave her broken
Her faith, it was all taken
Her heart hurts no matter how she prays
So now she makes love to razor blades
She's broken and bleeding
From the dark life that she's leading
It pains her to see it
At the center of all this bullshit
There is only one to blame
And it is she who bears her name
