Take it all away


Take it all away,

the pain, sorrow and defeat

as I cry beneath

your feet.

 

The dissapointment and fear

that shows between

my two ears.

 

Take away my feelings.

 

Leave me emotionless

like a shell

on the ocean floor

slam my head against

the door

as the rain begins to pour.

 

Take it all away

I want no more.
