Almost ...

You were almost an Angel which almost was heaven-sent
You were almost the fracture that made my bones repent

Insignificant prayers fell to your ears spinning off my tongue
Tiny words in measures, promising notes are what you sung

You were almost a hand, which was almost close enough to grab
You were almost the one, the best thing I ever had, I never had

Lyrical incisions cross your mind while I cut skin
Releasing all of those mighty pressures life has given in

Suddle dreaming of a humble life with clarity
You were almost sincere, but your time was just a charity

"I'll be there, let me show you, guide you, carry through
I'll be the one who never takes a step back, away from you"

Empty promises of undefined meanings haunt my shape
And from these horrid lies, I find there's no escape

Finally, there is peace beneath these sunken in eyes
At last, the surfacing scars are beginning to subside

How long until the raptures of this life shall live again
To break out of the crimson courage left within

A bloody tear of faded hope shatters lifeless as it drips
Running down the nose, I can taste the salt on my two lips

Another misguided false told truth I must endure
I hope to break free from this casted spell, but I'm never sure...
