When the pain behind your tears threatened to take over your life
And the ink pressed on your skin did not pay the price
When the kiss that healed your wounds was no longer by your side
And the dagger in your throat made you choke
When your stories got left behind the smoke
And you couldn't help but stare at the wonders in your clothes
When your screams felt like tremors through your mind
And your mind did nothing for your heart
When you are no longer sane
And your heart is alone
and your knuckles hit hard
When you bleed till you sleep
and you sleep till you fall
When death moves fast before your eyes
And takes away your soul
When you don't sleep anymore
And you ache for that kiss
When those arms brought you close
And they ripped through your spine
When love was kind
And you're eyes were closed.
