Hey World, it's been a while
I've been sleeping
not quietly but tossing and turning
eyelids flickering as the nightlight chased my demons
But I never told you, did I?
The terrifying faces I see when the lights go out
No, I sat in silence for a while
tried my hand at living
I have to say, I've been keeping at it
I smile all the time, laugh too
I can even close my eyes in the shadows and smile at the darkness
It's refreshing, but I know a little secret
it's not gone, the sadness, I mean
it lurks in the back of my mind
only creeping out when I sit alone and think
mourn for all the good ideas gone lost
and all the wishes I trampled.
But that's my secret, my little world trapped inside
close your lips and your eyes, my child
swallow the key and never speak of its haven
but everything will change soon.
Everything is falling to pieces.
I know it will hurt. But it's for the better
rip it away, the roots are too deep for safety
too caring, I've learned to love
but love can hurt and pain can kill
I've kept this little flame in my pocket
locked away where I can snatch it out the moment it flickers
and protect its golden spark against all life's dangers
but my little flame is moving far from me
and I can no longer keep one hand protecting and one clearing the way
I think...I know it will be hell.
But I will grow stronger. I will be alone. Not happy, but no longer depending on another.
It scares the shit out of me.
I'm afraid of the emptiness and the darkness that creeps
But I know I have no choice. I might be tempted to choose wrong.
Hello World, I'm tired of waiting.Here I am. Take me.Or better yet, I'll take you.
