There are people who

tend to dissapoint,

their voices bringing only

clouds of tiredness.

You're caught in the middle,

watching it all,

but not really there.

That's okay,

you try to tell yourself,

they're happy without you.

There are diamonds

falling from the skies

falling from your eyes

falling from the lies.

They tumble and shine

like a million lights

cascading from the heavens.

But I'm tired,

of your fire.

Because I'm caught in the middle,

watching it all

but not really there.

I know they're 

happy without me.

Without me.

Dark rooms, cold hearts,

Quite thoughts, new starts,

Deep breaths, warm tears, 

Absent people, screaming fears

Lipstick stains, white shirts,

All flowers grow from dirt.

So don't speak of madness again.

We're just caught in the middle

and it's so simple;

we should just fade

and then we'd be gone.

I'm caught in the middle

watching it all

but not really here.

But I'm okay,

I try to tell myself

they're happy

without me.
