It can be hard

[santi76]

why is it that when you're surrounded be people

you've never felt more alone in your life

when the person that matters most

is so close to you

but is farther away than they've ever been

when even the slightest touch sends a chill down your spine

that feels like the knife poised at your back

or raised above your wrist

reminding you to feel human again

the music surrounding you

playing a bittersweet soundtrack

that embraces your heart

and chills you to the bone

asking for another chance

begging for the courage to try again

and the strength to not fail twice

if only life wee like the fairy tales
