Fall

Lounge around on my easy chair,
I'm staring at the wall,
Trying so hard not to think of you,
Trying to forget it all...

Every drop of water that falls,
Small sounds take my breathe away,
I close my eyes and remember yours,
The distant sounds of your laugh
On my mind's broken shores.

If I could wish and change it all,
Would I want to keep crashing,
Or just get myself to stop the fall.

Cold coffee and broken glass,
Fake smiles and missing mass.
Losing myself with every second gone by
Misplacing my wings, forgetting to fly.

Distant sounds coming through the wall,
Music written, pasts preserved,
Dreams of better days,
Getting glimpses of what I deserved.

Light up another one,
Start another day,
Put the mask on yet another time,
To keep the demons at bay.

Your so weak,
Pathetic and small,
Hide behind the music,
But you can't stop the fall.
