I reach only to fall
Try as I might...

I smiled.
As the guard smiled back faintly...

Once a room full of possibility
Now full of crumpled papers, thoughts...

A shadow of glory
Shrouding the remains...

A hint of bitterness
Hidden in sarcastic jabs...

Tresses hang covering your face
On your knees, it's too much to take...

Sticks and stones break my bones
But words unspoken kill me...

Your breath on my neck is missing
And your arms around my waist...

This heart crushing feeling
Burns more than a flaming sword...

I can't seem to admit it
But I am desperate without you...

Where do I begin with all these thoughts
I can hear every single one...

Awkward. Some people are just awkward
It's the way they are...
