Memories

Stand on the edge
I look on in silence
See darkness, lies
Hurt, defiance.
Tears, abuse
Knives and blood,
All the dreams
I never had.
Life and death,
Violence, fright,
Sobbing silently
Alone at night.
Drugs and needles
Black and red,
Lying cold,
A hospital bed.
Church bells ring,
Mourning call,
Lifeless feelings,
Hopes that fall.
Broken bones,
Broken heart,
Knowing hate
From the start.
Anger, pity,
Scorn and spite,
Depressed longing,
Never light.

People laughing
People staring
Fingers pointing
No one caring.

A silent tear
Drops to the floor
A sad reminder
Of what I bore.

Ice-cold wind
A velvet sky
I have no faith
I want to fly.

Now I'm falling
I feel so free
Welcome the end
The end of me.
