Shards of a Broken Dream: 4-4-15


Tick Tock

On the wall

These shadows never

Stay gone too long

 

Like old friends

Here they come again

To help me fall once more

 

They bring me D O W N

They help me  D O W N

They lay me    D O W N

They watch me fall

Once more

 

Open the door

Come on inside

Welcome to pretty

Faces and lies

 

But it’s a sin to let

Them see you cry

So I keep my head up and

Damn those that weep.
