The Lies About Time

shattered (v.):

1. occurs to us when the ones that we rely on break their word.
2. occurs to us when people aren’t always what they seem.

So here you are,

You beckon me,

You reach your hand towards me now

And I can't speak.

And so it goes

Like it's always told:

"You never know

What you've got 'til it's gone."

That sure is getting old.

You admit your heart;

It didn't seem that hard

For you to open up

To me, well, you went too far.

And time sure does beat us all

It didn't seem to catch me at my fall.

"Time heals all wounds,"

Thats what they say,

But I still wear your bruise.

Can you really tell me

That your thoughts point right at me?

I can't believe the nerve you've got

Don't you see how my heart still hurts? 

But I'm not done

No you haven't won.

You act as if you never said it;

From this, you can't run.

I'm not a doll-

No I'm not at all

What you think.

I've changed since the time you knocked down all my walls.

And to think you've changed.

Fool, you're still the same,

And you'd think that I'd sit here and wait on you?

That's such a pity shame. 

Alas, wait! 

Wait once more. 

You never saw the light dim in my eyes when my heart, you tore.

And to think that you can tell me your heart then let me be,

Is the most abominable excuse for a soul that wants to be free.

Take me as I am or leave with nothing at all.
