Trapt...

by Elizabeth   Aug 6, 2011


I used to stare in the mirror, at an unfamiliar face.
One second you said I was beautiful. the next I'm a disgrace.
I thrived off your negative words and fed them to my heart.
I knew each sharp word that fell from your lips, would rip my heart in half.

I was in a jail cell, I wanted to be free.
but how was that going to happen? you've got access to the key.
you held me in this prison, my beauty you erased.
would anybody care if i disappeared without a trace?

A new tear fell from my eyes, my heart was turning blue.
Because I knew deep inside, i was no longer in love with you.
So why are you keeping me, when I know you feel the same.
My heart is worn out, it is tired of this game.

I stopped caring for anything, I lay here in this mess.
Was your goal to torture me, you surely passed the test.
Why I am still here? I need to run away.
And knowing time was running out i decided on today.

I took a leap of faith, and ran straight towards the door.
I put my hand on the handle and opened it with force.
The sun shone down on me, it warmed me to the core.
I smile at this feeling I have never felt before.

I cant believe I had done it, although i took my time
But now I know that its my moment, I deserve to shine.
I run away from my prison, i feel my feet run free.
How could I have been so blind, to think he had the key.
