I tenderly buried all of your secrets within the catacombs of my heart
So you could proclaim your innocence, and I could die with the burden of the sins
Consumed by the anger inside my soul that can't be dismissed or forgave
Leaving behind an empty vessel that waits praying to be filled full of rain
Knowing that this is the existence I'm keeping as long as I'm inside this mental cage
I ask only that you continue running as far away as the path your on can lead you away
For there's no more neatly penned passageways, the whole world just scribbled lines upon a page
As I sit with my head entombed into my palms till twilight's awakening , to camouflage the rage
My smile had already vanished like the green leaves of spring into winter's embrace
To become just as cryptic as the images within the letters we used to exchange
But eventually the ecstasy of our fantasies faded away like dreams to do
You disappeared again and again into the coldest of all possible shadows
Leaving me to face it all without the even the dim rays of light you provided to my life
So now I ponder one last question, do angels lie so they can keep control
Of the poor hearted bastards who take the time to listen to their shame
So when the moment is right they can rip away just a little bit more of their souls
Leaving only there over confident egos so they'll just be taken for a sucker again and again
Now instead of nurturing your impenetrable walls with the warmness of before
I'll leave them to their lifeless composure as I construct my own structures
As I've watched even those I thought would never turn me away turn tail and flee
Like scolded animals once they caught even a brief glimpse of the darker side of me.
Which is why I never go around professing to be some kind of ***** saint
No matter how beautiful the soul without the proper care it'll shed layers of flesh
Until nothing is left but a burned out core surrounded by the smoldering of ashes
And wallowing in the memories of things that used to be, wounds that can never heal
In the end I ask you to refrain from wasting your breath on words I'll never hear
To keep your distance from the memory, and never take the time to drop a dime
If you love me as much as you've always claimed, you'll do the right thing
And make sure that after today, that you'll die before you ever let me know.
