crash!
the bowl once in my hand now shattered on the floor
whack!
a fist pounds my face once more
so small
so weak
so tall
so bleak
my blurry vision trails up your body and reaches your face
so cold
so dark
as i looked into your eyes, i saw my future go up in flames
so much anger
so much pain
so much hurt you can’t contain
so you punish me instead
but i can’t let you do this any longer
i ha...
As i look in your eyes,
i saw my future go up in flames.
The world suddenly stopped,
Nothing, not even a worry,
My life suddenly calm
Dreaming of a day
Coming home to see your face
Lifeless worries
Looking in your eyes
Feeling your pain
The future up in flames
I’ll take away your pain,
You have the world in your hands
A universe in your smile....
How to you capture a lifetime of love in just a few sentences?
When your heart is so full, words come as a fountain rather than a flow
Feelings cannot always translate to words
In fact, the easiest way to express how I feel is to relive our memories again and again
In this lifetime and the next.
Where my actions are the words, my loyalty my vow.
I can’t imagine loving you more than I do ...
As I looked into your eyes, I saw my future go up in flames.
When you turned and looked my way, I thought that I was gonna marry you someday.
Now someday is over- it’s come and gone away.
The ring you placed on my finger, felt heavy when I saw that you had kissed her.
Her lips touched every precipice that was once mine.
She made you turn your head on a dime, smoothed talked you into taking...
“Don’t walk out on me”
Tears fall from my eyes, making a slow and tortorous path down my cheeks. I stare at the love of my life putting his shoes on, his belongings packed into one weekender bag now slung over his shoulder.
“Cass, we aren’t good for each other” his words claw at my heart and my vision grows blurrier. I want to step towards him and force him to stay, that maybe if he spends one...
As I looked into your eyes, I saw my future go up into flames.
It was a look I had not seen before, so I took my time to analyze it. To be sure.
Never in my worst nightmare would this be my reality. Unfortunately, the premonition was real.
Manifested itself two months later.
I desperately wish you’d kept your eyes closed....
As I looked into your eyes. I saw my future go up in flames. I pick apart each detail of your face. From your greenish blueish eyes with a speck of brown in the right one, to your chipped apart lips that you bite and pick at when your anxious. When I look at you I can feel the forest fire. It’ll start in my heart and spread like disease to everyone I know. It’ll ruin everything I’ve had that’s goo...
As I looked into your eyes I saw my future go up in flames
I saw the road before me burning instantly away
And I was terrified that I would drop
Far below and never find again the path which I had found
As I looked into your eyes I saw my future go up in flames
I thought you knew that this was not the time for games
I wished that I could know for certain what lies beyond that curtained smile
