Rhyme with me


And if I I may let myself brave 

The darkest nights and stormy seas
Then lose the noose and stitch the wrists
For all the pain is put to ease 
The soothing icy flowing words 
She spoke to me she never heard
The reasons why my heart refused 
To live without the one preferred
So let this bleeding light a waste 
Away into the night to face
The demons that give it away 
Through smiles fake And clear as day
I want to live inside my head
Where loves a dream and dreams are dead
They have me brave this storm alone
A lonely heart without a home
They cut the air and crush the throat 
And take away the words I own
And grip the flesh of reckless youth
And tight the past of loosened noose
By packing us with pretty pills 
And telling us it's wrong to chose
