Black Box

Gone

I watched as you walked away
There was no meaning behind the words you said
I could feel the poison burning in my veins
Spreading throughout my fragile being
Soon I was cursed by the ice

It started with a fight
Words we could not take back
Things we said and did
Small problems blown out of proportion
As the big picture faded into the background

Love is dead and so am I
You built me up so high
Just to let me fall
You said this love would last forever
Now you smile and say
This time it will end in murder

Slowly you crouched over me
Glaring at me ever so happily
You were my world
Now I'm going to die at your hand
All along this has been your plan

Within your eyes I can see
You lied when you said you loved me
You just wanted to take everything I had to give
So I could no longer live
And become a victim of your biggest sin

My heart was fluttering like a pair of wings
Then I felt you reach into my chest
And it was gone
Everything began to fade
As you whispered goodbye

I am just a shell of a girl
A breathing mannequin nevermore alive
You grin as your new game comes to an end
The final dramatic scene
A grand finale in a spectacular show

I thought we could make it through this
You promised we were meant to be
But that was only make believe
Because you never loved me
It was all a beautiful fairytale created just for me

You pulled me down
Until I was face down on the porcelain tile
Then you left me there for a while
Until I have screamed myself hoarse
And it was time for my funeral

I lay here alone
My pale skin cold as stone
You have finally killed me
This has become your new joy and skill
Killing in the blind eye taking me by complete surprise

All around my casket I can hear the whispers
Saying I never saw it coming
That poor girl was blindsided
And that boy is a love struck criminal
I hear it all from within my tomb of ice and glass

Lucky for you the dead can't speak
And there remains nothing to say except why me
Tell me, my beautiful executioner
Why did you cut me down?

Alone in my grave I scream your name
I never thought it would end this way
I never believed it would get this bad
I imagined you were from heaven
But that was only fiction

You were only the devil
Ever so cleverly disguised
As a guardian angel

When the lights go down you will see my plan
It will be a masterpiece
You locked me in a case of ice
Now I'm staring at you through a pane of glass
Grinning wickedly as I reach my pale hands out

Pulling you in
Letting you drown in your own sins
See, aren't my empty eyes lovely?
You caused this pain for all eternity

The anger in your eyes would cut me like a knife
If I was still alive
But you can't mend the heart you shoved a blade through
This isn't about me, it's about you
Your final lullaby, one last goodbye

The scent of bittersweet blood fills the air
And it's all from you my dear
I can see every life, every half-hearted alibi
That I couldn't see before
Because I thought you loved me

My last tear slips out tinged crimson red
As I watch the cold light fade from your eyes
Your lips still drip with the poison you fed me
The knife you used gripped ever so tightly
Plunged deep into your heart burning like poison ivy

I used to believe in love until you showed me
There is no such thing as a happy ending
I treated you like a king
Gave you everything, anything
Instead of thanking me, you killed me

I thought you were beauty but really you're the beast
In my head you were a beautiful rose
But you were just the thorns that cut me
Drawing blood from my fingers
That you lifted to your lips ever so gently

You were always laughing in my face
But I'm the one laughing now
You started this game I'm just finishing the race
Now that you have lost your crown
Tell me, who are you now?
