Open Eyes

Open Eyes

What have I done? Oh my…How did I end up here again?
Dangling from the rooftop on bleeding fingers, these wounds will never mend

I remember the last time, I swore I’d change my ways
Never would I be so stupid. A grand wall would I raise

Around the jaded heart, with no more tears to cry
I look back at all the things that were, and can not help but sigh

Tumbling and fumbling, but I was deep in love
Exploring new emotions, I thought her sent from above

Quickly did I learn, that not all was as it seems
The sound grew deafening in my ears, and my head filled with screams

Many of them my own, for my heart knew not what to do
It cried out for a remedy, to keep from breaking in two

Although we tried, we failed to find, those promised brighter days
So with angry eyes, and bitter words, our paths parted ways

Even at the worst of times, love can be as sticky as a glue
But time and space have never failed, they are very good at what they do

Even as the cords of love, sever and are burned
Poison seeps into the heart, and wicked lessons do we learn

To chill the heart, to make it numb, and as hard as any stone
To hold everyone at arms length, to walk the world alone

The years go by and gradually, each day is no longer sadder
But trust is such a fragile thing, so easily it shatters

Never again is what I swore, and sealed it with a kiss
But I can not help myself, Lord please help me…I don’t want to die like this
