Scary

are the images

blurring through my mind

your careless, thoughtless

childish games torment my soul

like pouring salt on open cuts

ripped open again and again

for reasons unseen

unheard

only felt, deep within my heart

I ask you, why, what,  who are these people screaming at each other

i can't seem to recognize your face

anymore

i used to ache to see your face

used to throb when I heard your voice

used to melt

now silence

emptiness

where did those times go

you held me so close

wrapped me up so tightly

I felt safe

now wondering how I could have been so blind

such a fool

to believe as so many before

I was the one

I can change it

Love will find a way

Love will conquer all

Well, love conquered me

love swept me under

Now I can't see

can't feel

ready to move on

leave you far behind

and pretend

this was just all a bad dream
