Looking Up

By Ideas

Whispers in the darkness
I still see your face
In the darkness of my ceiling
I’m so out of place
Because where I feel I belong
You ripped away
Your arms, that’s all I needed
We run out of things to say
And I realize
You stopped dreaming
I stopped caring
Now, there's just this ceiling
Baby, where'd you go?
I'm dying where it counts most
And I'm taking you with me

  • A former member wrote: "I'm dying where it counts most/And I'm taking you with me" Shit...this blew chunks through my chest and left my heart vulnerably in the open for the world to rip apart. Wonderful rhyme scheme. ~*Beth*~
