How Long Has it Been


The clock is ticking and i really must know.

How long has it been since you were whole.

They stole your smile.

And made you a clone.

Why did you allow them to steal your soul?

Darling when did this happen?

How long has it been since you were whole

Did you cry out to stop them?

They broke your heart like glass.

Leaving you broken and used.

Love please know you can find your heart again.

Is it true?

Why do you take this blade to your skin?

How does the pain keep you whole?

The scars mark your story and i can't help but cry.

Love I wish i could heal the hell in your head.

Take away all the pain and suffering you feel.

Someday i promise I'll save you from it all.

Love just promise me until then you'll remember to breathe.
