About the shadows in my soul. |
Everywhere I look, there are shadows Even the brightest places have become tainted with darkness All of my smiles are cracked in two And the scars on my wrists stand out against the papery skin I hear your name in whispers when I'm close to sleep And I drift upon dreamy waves with eyes all filled with tears My legs cannot hold the weight of your loss And every breath I take is laden with sorrow Everyone around me has fallen to pieces I watch as they try to build themselves up again I keep a score of their failures; They outweigh the triumphs They look down at where I lay, in my pile of broken bits And laugh despite the fact that they are broken too Crows swirl in the depths of every eye that looks like yours And resentment wears on my soul like a bitter perfume I wonder at my life, and when it became so bleak While your coffin glares at me like a glittering diamond painted black And when I close my eyes to keep in the tears and keep out the pain, I can hear you voice telling me goodbye It is in those moments, when that sound fills my head, That I know I will not overcome this pain |
