I Knew Better Than To Know

by RadianceInReverse   May 28, 2011


I'm here floating alone
no pressure left
I no longer glow
all vibrance has faded
I'm broken here, jaded

My heart used to beat
but here I stand
on wounded feet
tattered and swollen
beaten on the street

Rain falls
reminding me that I still live
but laying here
I feel dead
numb to all the love
you try to show
Its just a charade
no room for it to grow
just and empty emotion
I knew better than to know

The owl sent me far away
yet I came back
knocking to find it again
a mistake that just failed me
I cannot rely on the unknowing
It unravels at my knees
where I beg to be reweaved

I am a slave
to its demands
I am chained
to the happiness it teases
without its gun
my mind releases
on to blank canvases
and still I plead for its
heavenly nooses
