From you

Running fast, barefoot
glancing behind
getting away
so you'll never find

The trail that I'm leaving
heartbreak and tears
emotions Id buried
for so many years

internally bleeding
running so fast
cannot escape
thoughts of our past

branches assault me
cutting my face
knowing inside me
I wont win this race

Clutching my hair
tears streaming down
breathing so quickly
feet pounding the ground

you left me abandoned
you tore me in two
now I'm running away
from memories of you

So dark and silent
this night, looming trees
sobbing and aching
nobody sees

losing myself
to misery and pain
every word ever spoken
by you in my brain

Stumble and trip
fall to the ground
bruising and bleeding
not making a sound

crawling, weak, wounded
I run once again
I cant run forever
will the pain never end?

Break through a clearing
I see the ledge
my hope and salvation
I walk to the edge

Staring down, empty
into darkness below
glance down at my body
wounds finally show

Hearing a noise
you're standing behind me
saying my name
and something inside me

snaps like a twig
broken in two
angry and raging
I turn back to you

There you are standing
Pain in your eyes
both of us lost
under starry skies

my anger it dims
at your agonized state
both of us knowing
for us its too late

you're reaching for me
then you pull back away
I'm shaking from words
I can no longer say

Here we are now
both of us trembling
haunted by thoughts
cant stop remembering

so under these stars
silent we stand
holding out to you
my broken heart in my hands

let it fall through my fingers
I take a step back
looking at you
beginning to crack

I smile, staring at you
my eyes fill with tears
remember when you held me
my fears disappeared

I step back once more
feel the edge right behind
needing to silence
the thoughts in my mind

you notice too late
my intentions are clear
your hand reaches out
your face shows its fear

you're running to catch me
but you're too far away
breaking the silence
screaming for me to stay

But I don't grasp your hand
the distance too great
feel myself falling
meeting my fate

an end to the torment
I've let it all go
giving myself up
to the rocks down below

so don't cry for me
and don't take the blame
I just needed to find
an end to the pain

I need you to know this
I need you to see
by killing myself
I've set us both free
