There's a story that lies
awake in the dark
buried deep in my flesh
as I breathe with shallow breath
madness surrounds me
engulfing my heart
in your cloak of deception
life no longer dwells in my eyes
they're glazed with the blackness
that has become my soul
your lies have hardened me
I now see through distrusting eyes
what could I have meant to you
when you've left me here
forsaken.
