Collapse

I stare into his eyes one last time
And pretend that I can drink the pain from his stare
Make him alive once more so at least he could feel
A boy gone wrong when he's done so much right
Lonely and crying on the outside, he's strong inside the shell
But not enough to appear unbroken
Coffee with luqiour aides the emotions quick
And force his hands to shake from caffeine
No cigarette to ever touch his lips
Mine only linger long enough for it all to taste bitter
Blades strapped to his feet so that he can skate away from here
Gliding faster to the light
A pace which my tained mind cannot keep up with
Tears fly at my face, the wind blowing them from him to me
I wish I could keep up with the stick girls
No look on their faces
Lollow, his voice confides in their attention
Nothing to come from those moments but destruction
Imploded pieces of building race further to the ground
I wait underneath the wreckage to pick up the pieces
But they are still too far away to reach
And just smash upon the ground
All at once, no warning
Nothing to do but watch and cry inside
Praying my heart will finally wake him up
So he can be next to me once again
