Torn From the Pages of My Heart

The Vines of Heartbreak

The vines of heartbreak are closing in
Down the walls, to my bed, crawling in
Where I am curled, waiting... fearing
In a little circle of moonbeam
That darkness is consuming

Something's killing me. My body's frail.
Only my heart is fighting.
But I am all alone.

The vines have circled each of my feet
Crawling more, crawling deep
My body's shaking, and tears are looming
I guess I'm in this fight alone.

You're not coming even if I scream
You're not coming, you're just a dream
I've waited for you to come to me
I've waited for you to wake me, but...

You gave up on me a long, long time ago
So please stop your mind games, can't you see?
You're only hurting me. I've waited too long
Stuck in the promise of a song
You could've walked after me. But you didn't.

The vines are going round my neck now
Tightened their grip all over me
Squeezing me, 'til I can't even weep
Until I burst into a cloud and disappear.
