hey stranger. this is not me.

i never said it ever was.

i've been lying to u just so you see

ive misplaced me and now im lost.

misguided fairy tale came true

suddenly my world revolved around you.

just you.

and starlight amazing magic

then became something so tragic.

destitute life sorry-s

in tragic ends of pretty starts

and bloody conclusions to petty fights,

all the world's stupid fairy tale stories

once. i spoke of my planned suicide

and you shuddered

like you hated the sound of my voice

slashed my wrist and my words falter

and you look at me like i had a choice.

tell me. do u hear me when i cry?

and when i speak do u really listen?

when i hold you. can you feel me try?

wasted love and all ive given?

faith-less flickers in its death

love's ashes sway to yesterdays

hope. it falters in what's left

behind.

the masked smile is tone-deaf

so. i was foolishly blind.
