A Fool You Are
You never see through these fake smiles, I’ve hidden here so well
those laughs you always enjoyed hearing, they were so easy to sell
Breathe your life into me some more; we all know why you do so
You could never handle it on your own; you’ve sunken to my low
In your embraces, be gentle with me, no need for this shell to crack
Fool yourself into believing in me, I know my heart is full of black
You may not agree to my vision, how could you when you’re blind
The skies are gray, the trees are dead, no winds to soothe my mind
My body breaks down each day, muscles sore and bones that pop
A harvester of sorrow I have become, with an endless field to crop
With every seed you plant in me brings one more reason to hate
The methods you take I can never understand, but now it’s too late
You’ve created a darker side of me that you can never understand
Looking back is an option no more; a line drawn deep in the sand
One look within you brings those memories, ones fond they are not
Killing me inside you have tried, but you took your final long shot
One day you will realize your doings, how you lost something pure
With darker days ahead of us, time will no longer be your petty cure
When the sun goes down, nightmares break free from their slumber
Peace too far to grasp, your mistakes will be a mass you must lumber
