Caution

by Malachi   Mar 11, 2013


How can my little voice be heard when I'm crashing down in sadness
I'm sure you like to think I'm crazy due to all this madness

I don't want you to leave my side, so hold on to me tight
Let your breath touch me always and keep me in your sight

I curl into your arms and tremble in my fears
You tell me all you can say, but alone is all I hear

'Just go away forever' I whisper off my lips
But instead of going away, you tug onto my hips

I scream out in fear and pry away in anger
You act like one of them, like a stranger and I'm in danger

'Please no!' you scream, 'forgive me, little angel.'
It's too late, I am gone, and that hurt is my heart mangled

You see, you did wrong, you moved the wrong piece
But now I am alone, but alive and well at least

Hours go by I think, and I am trapped within a shadow
The rain is loud and mean, but I'm sure to win this battle

I can still see you holding the camera and chasing me around the house
I use to laugh a lot as we played cat and mouse

I gazed down breaking my thoughts and see a shining knife
My reflection is my friend, but that blood will end my life

All I do is cry and hate upon myself
You hope to make it better, but you're only injuring yourself

I touch my toes and sniffle as I look into bright metal
The uneasy in my stomach won't stop, and it just will not settle

My hand grabs onto the knife and it tosses it away
I close my eyes tightly and let my body slowly sway

Alone alone alone, the darkness takes me here
But I really hate to cry, and I really hate my tears

Disappear disappear disappear, is all I ever hear
I hate to be afraid, and I'm afraid of all this fear

Suddenly I gasp and glance up with my eyes
Your hand is there for me and it shatters all these lies

'It's you' I whisper softly, as you kneel down to my face
I blink away my tears as you pull me into your embrace

"Idiot, you're silly' is all you have to say
To bring me to this happiness, to make me feel this way
For now I finally know, I don't have to hide my face
