Stone Walls

stone walls I build around me 

though my smile falters none 

it's as if my will is caving 

and i wish that i could run

run from the problems 

run from the promises 

run from the only thing keeping me here 

because i don't want to be here.

not anymore

i wish i could tell you

why your words cut like knives 

maybe its my trust issues 

coming back to bite 

but no, this is real 

you all failed me 

again

i know you all scream about second chances 

so i give them out with caution

and around the fire and shadows my heart dances

from the mouth the beast is frothing

i wish i could trust your word

this time i'm not so trusting

syou think that it's absurd

and yet again it happens,

  you tell me life isn't fair

but you left me no other option

and i know that once you cared 

but now, its time 

we say goodbye
