enter the cold

By thefairytaleheart


murder a martyr
stare directly into the bullet wound
and see precisely the size of the soul

i wish i could leave you
i wish i knew how
you were never there for me
and i could never let you go

a shattered mirror is infront of me
relfecting shards of a person i don't know
i light a cigarette and draw a drag and
smoke fills my lungs and i choke.

i open my window
and welcome the cold.

    Oh my god.. I am living this, right now. I feel every single line of this. My eyes were full of tears by the end of it.. I'm speechless. *fave* this is so amazing, for so few words.
