Waking up.

by bridgitte tanner   Jun 4, 2009


I can't even breathe anymore,
and im coughing up the remains of my heart.

all the wisdom you gave me,
was lost in the journey to the truth.

Can't you see i'm so far past that now?
Broken promises that you sung through your teeth.

You never gave me a reason to believe,
so why would I be ready to follow you.

But I followed you down anyways,
Seeing my way through the beaten down paths.

I thought against my heart,
and on the way I found your lies.

Covered in vines and broken limbs,
How could someone believe so many.

My world is close to crumbling,
as I take a journey into myself.

I am forgetting who you are,
and instead replacing you with myself.

But you never wanted that did you?
You kept me locked up so close,
Did you ever think your own creation would fail you,
I'm like a monster escaping from prison,
The only thing I really want is your heart.

The only thing I ever needed was your pain,
The only thing I ever wanted was compassion,
The only thing I'll ever need is your heart.
