To give is to take
Through glass eyes I watch...

Oh, hush my darling
Lie so sweet...

Working so hard, wearing me out.
Fighting the memories, keeping myself out...

Plastic angels with paper wings,
They carry glass hearts filled with fragile...

I have a word upon my lips
They tremble; Cannot speak...

Your hate cuts me deep like a knife
It's why I keep you close...

So focused on the pull of breath
No air left in the world...

Decadence found in decay
Where once was life...

Bittersweet this world does taste,
As it's consumed, increasing haste...

You've gone from here
Left me with fear...

I'm looking out my window
Snowflake gently fall...

We all take a hand, take a fall, learn to stand.
We all laugh, we all cry, someday all of us must...
