Not The Same Spoken

A moment that lasts a lifetime
A silence that echoes through time
Your eyes shine true through beautiful disguise
Past the pain masked by your lies

Your fragile fingers trace across a line
You look at me your eyes so blind
Don’t trust me with your secrets
My pain outnumbers yours
You walk across the lifeless room and lock all the doors

I look upon the glass as my reflection slides right past
The protection of these walls shuns darkness as it calls
But inside you writhe with grief
Your conscious rigs to clear for all of us to hear

Are you sorry for what you’ve done?
You’ve crossed a line and I’m not to blame
I promise I will never be the same
Don’t toy with me, don’t taunt me
You had no right to flaunt me

I taste this life that you enjoy
What broken expressions have tainted you?
What simple look has shattered you?
Do you think I ever mattered?

Now the protection leaves open windows
I feel the glass that darkness shatters to reach me inside
You have left me no time to hide
I look outside at the freedom I long to feel
Your tired hands do not abide
But my fate is not yet sealed

My lies are more unworthy than this destruction that you bear
Do not look upon me
Do not swear

To hear your voice leaves me no choice
Must I endure this another night?
To bear this thought offers no respite

Why must you destroy me?
Your torment offers agony
You think I still need you here,
But heed my words,
You don’t deserve this path that fate does lead,
So don’t walk with me
Now you’ll follow
And drown in your sorrow.
