Cradle Me Away From My Past

Tears crumble down my cheeks.
My mouth moves but I don't speak.
Hold my breath and count to ten.
Open my eyes, tears roll down again.

Blood falls dripping onto the floor.
Cuts open, stitch them back once more.
Hair falls loose and my fingers shake,
Middle of the night,nightmares erupt and I awake.

Hoping to be set free from this pain,
Find the key and unlock this chain.
My heart doesn't beat locked in its chest,
I wont be forgotten and I shall try my best.

Don't leave me behind in your past,
Set me free, let me breathe at last.
Falling like an angel sent from the skies,
Cover up my scars with all those lies.

Look around and see what I can't see,
Grow up to be what I will never be,
Breathe the air I will not live to breathe,
And take my place in life as I leave.....
