Clear as Crystal
You were crystal clear like
No clouds in the night sky.
Stars twinkling in the distance.
Our reflection in the lake.
When you told me
That you loved me.
You were opaque like opal
When you told me you
Weren't sure anymore.
You wanted to take a break
Fully aware that we were at risk
Of cracking, of shattering -
That was worth sacrificing for you.
But your conflicting confusing wording
Led me to bel...
Voided But Clear As Crystal…
Inside my head the darkness reaches; pulling my heart into shadowed pieces. I wonder what it would be like, to find certainty. To know that stretch of life beyond my dreams; I'm voided honestly. Such a feverish soul, drawing storms in the fabric of my mind. It's all pain and breath, and the ways we scream to die. Inside clumsy little lullabies, is how I've grown to shiver. Drifting, and sipping, a...
You Left Me.
I thought our love was crystal clear
You were the one I needed near
But I was wrong, cause you’re not here
You left me but you took your beer.
I thought our love would last infinity
Thought I was for you and you were for me
But now it’s easy for me to see
You left me but you took your keys.
I thought our love was like something you’d read
With a suit for you and a gown for me
I thought we’d danc...
Clear As Crystal
I am free,
Finally free.
No longer am I tormented by thoughts of you,
No longer does my heart go pitter-patter.
I’ve given you many chances to prove yourself,
To prove that you still care.
Yet there’s no more texts,
No more talking,
No more anything.
Even your own best friend has taken my side,
He says that it would be best to break up with
You,
A while ago, I would have strongly dis...
Clear As Crystal Piece Of Art
Clear as crystal is the best way to describe it
It usually is the first to go when you get bit
It instantly stops living right at the moment of pain
There’s no use in trying to stall it, there is no gain
If you accept this new life you must possess it
This new shiny heart will be quite the hit
For once you take on the role of vampire
Your heart will no longer be bright as fire
For you w...
Clear As Crystal
I can see you now
Clear as day
I must have been blinded before
With all my adoration
Now all that’s left is frustration
A longing for what once was
Tell me what have we become
Where there used to be so much love
Now sits this hate
And you may think that’s okay
But I can see
See how you’re unwinding
Dying inside
Hating to admit that I was right
No longer putting up a fight
Where did th...
Clear As Crystal
I made it crystal clear
Don’t try and conform me
The tactic of fear
When it ended I felt free
No idea why there was guilt
Knowing I will not subsided
Mirror Noir while looking at a mistake
You can break it and fake it
Losing you was a substratum
I know nothing can happen
These words said were clear as crystal...
