Last

Broken hearted screaming
Why does it hurt to be alone?
How is it that i swear words off
But they're never really gone

I swear to God this is the last one
I need some time, a little break
And I'm sure the seconds will trickle by
Since this pain is more than i can take

Oh, look, Reader! it's another one!
Another night alone, in the dark
Pray to God for a sunrise, a star
Any form of a lighted spark

I need one more time to cry
This canary has but one more song
Screaming out with shattered lungs
I'm so sorry for my wrongs

The weight of the world is a heavy thing
When it rests only upon one
So much lighter is the trigger
Of a cold, metallic gun

It's funny how this numbness,
It makes me hyper-aware
Of how I'll never meet their standards
So dumb-struck, I'll sit and stare

I can't open the eyes of the world
I'm far too helpless and small
I can't save a single one, believe me,
If I could...I would save them all

And tomorrow I'm going to smile
Just like every other day
But with every fiber I'll be screaming
Somebody...I need to be saved

Maybe these are my dying words
An admittance to final defeat
Penning out my dying words
On a single, snow white sheet

"How will we ever get out of this labryinth of suffering?" ~forgotten

*sorry for the false ending..this really is the last. for a bit"
