the past in glass

By BellaDonna

I can feel you coursing through my dieing heart
from the inside out tearing my soul apart
with each breath I take I feel the pain
I want to get you out
but you're what pumps life through my veins
Sweet love laced with bitter poison
Seathing gorgeous eyes
hiding your deciet and lies
Never mind that sound,
it's just my world crashing down
around my feet
I just really need
you to leave
so that my heart may bleed in peace
instead of the pieces lying on the floor
carving into pain the details of the past
jagged shardes of truth among the blood stained glass
these scars that even time won't be able to outlast
watching you through shielded cries
even death with not disguise the fatal wonder of my mind
and you must know by now i'm dying
I'm so glad I cannot turn back time
I'd never want to see this twice
Love is just torture with a prettier knife
Like the one that you continue to drive
into and rip through my entire fucking life
how did I let your sunlight dazzle my mind
if hindsight is 20/20, then looking forward I'm almost blind
shadowed sight like the darkest night
remember that one when you left me behind?

    Thankyou,the wonderful thing about art is that it's open to interpretation, and everyone has their own but it's really wonderful when someone's interpretation of it is the same as my own as the writer, thankyou again very much ~ BellaDonna
