I didn't know you


As you woke up from wonderland 

Taking off your mask

I didn't know you

 

You covered up your demons with a smile

Your secrets something I admire

I didn't know you

 

One day you were beautiful as the beach

Strong as the waves 

Fragile as a petal

I was in love with you heaven, Despised by your hell

 

I saw the blood in your eyes 

Crying out loud for anyone to hear you

I saw your worth draining as he devoured your soul

Savoring every drop of joy

 

As his darkness consumed your heart

 

The healthy relationship between you and life was falling apart

A healthy relationship is not when the garden has killed the flower

A healthy relationship is not when the sun burns the stars

 

A healthy relationship is when the hurricane stops the storm 

As the tree, you grew over the years 

 

Silence is'nt comfortale, I still hope to hear your voice in the wind

Now you are the stars

I am the night without stars

 

I saw the petal from the flower falling slowly 

It haunted me 

 

I didn't know you

But because I love you, I wrote your last words in your grave

Because I love you, I will wait for you.
