Let this be over, let it end
All this torture I can’t withstand
I’m begging you to let me be
I’m pleading for you to set me free
Cut these strings that bind me here
That are made of pain and fear
Release these chains that hold me down
Or in this sorrow I might drown
All around they turn away
None having the words to say
Slowly inside she’s shutting down
As her guard goes up all around
A somber tone in the words she speaks
But an answer back not what she seeks
Her words will fall and go unheard
Yet she will speak on undeterred
Till the silence overtakes
And her mind finally breaks
No one to catch her as she falls
And within her the darkness calls
A soothing lullaby in her ear
Making her forget all of her fear
Within herself she’ll fall deeper
The walls outside growing steeper
To live her days in this solitude
Where her pain and fear can be subdued
All she is will never be
Enough for someone to see
All she could be, given the chance
Given more than a second glance
But even then she’ll fall short
And what she is they’ll distort
Until all she was is no more
And she’s left alone on the floor
Upon her face the tears will glisten
It’s to her heart that she must listen
All the logic within her mind
Tells her to just keep playing blind
But her heart aches, it longs to be free
And dreams of all it has yet to see
So the battle within wages on
To hold her ground or should she move on
I wish you’d just hate me for all I am
I can’t keep living a life that’s a sham
Feigning indifference is wearing me down
The sorrow inside threatening to drown
The waters get deeper with each little lie
And the fire inside continues to die
So walk away now before it’s too late
And all that you are is all that I hate
She closes her eyes seeking relief
Longing for the poison of belief
But into her veins with an icy grip
The bitterness of life will slowly slip
Taking control of her heart so true
Changing it to such an icy hue
And the coldness reflects behind those eyes
Her fire has met its final demise
