Fades to Black

By Jaded Jezzabelle

I'm really not sure where along the line
I found my heart but lost my mind
At the time
I thought I was only being kind
but
You took my kindness for weakness
and
Treated me like I'm blind
You could have taken me any where
but
You made the choice to bring me here
I'm not one to live in fear
and
Personally I don't like tears
Its been alot of years
That we've been friends
Has it all been pretend
I don't think
You have the capacity
To take me back to where
We used to be
and
As I say it so sarcastically
You throw it back
Right in my face
and
You seem to think your so superior
but
Its clear
Your scared to check your interior
So keep your stories
and
Your tragities
Some one could use your words
Against you
Not to assist you
or
Just dismiss you
Every day and night
I pray
That you will eventually
Find a way
To put this shit aside
bt
Go on and kick it
Its your life not mine
You dont need to press rewind
Another groove is on its way
and
Im still sitting here getting high

mayday sos mayday sos mayday

It really doesn't matter to me
What you say
Where you go
or
Who you do
You've still got to learn
A thing or two
and
When you learn these lessons of strife
You will find that you had a life
and
All those dreams you chased away
Will drift on by another day
Staying steading out of reach
This really wasn't my class to teach
You gave me much respect
.
but
.
Just like that you took it back
.
.
.
and
.
.
.
Then it all
.
Just fades
.
to
.
black
.
.
.
