Seas Of Misery

Another write like 'Shattered", only now it's abuse within love and marriage. Inspired by "Face Down" by The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus. Enjoy!

Seas Of Misery

The cold wind blows through the night

As happiness disappears from sight

And she curls up next to a picture of you

But with tears in her eyes, and sadness so true

Say that you love her, say she's the one

As you held her so tight in the setting sun

She wipes her eyes, and feels her scars

All the times you pushed things just too far

And she prays for the prince that she once knew

The one who saves her whenever she's blue

Stranded upon the seas of misery

As she sails on forevermore

And the world stops as she searches endlessly

Trying to find a distant shore

Do you feel so brave?

Do you feel so strong?

When you hit her and punch her on and on

As she fingers the scars you left behind

Remembering the times before, so fine

Under the moonlight together, as you kissed her tight

And you loved her and said you would make things right

Her tears cascade down, and she's just so mad

Whatever did she do to be hurt so bad

Stranded upon the seas of misery

As she sails on forevermore

And the world stops as she searches endlessly

Trying to find a distant shore

She blows her candles out, all of them, but one

Knowing you never finished what you shouldn't have begun

And she clutches the photo of her and you

The one where you swore your love was so true

And she touches the corner to the hungry flame

Like how her heart smoldered on again and again

And she walks away, as the ashes fall

Don't cry or be sorry, she won't care at all

She's over you, and she's had enough

She's finally out to find her true love

a compelling stroll down the road of love twisted up inside of misery to at last find reclamation of self~ the imagery is captivating~

Been there man, good job with putting so much in it. I cant say I liked when you say he hit her over and over, cant stand when guys hit girls! If I saw someone doing it I'd go right up the the guy and punch him in the head, then say how does it feel. I know thats not what you were getting at. Either way you did a really good job brotha keep writing your great at it;)

Beautiful. I liked this one. There were acouple of lines that seemed a little word-heavy, but all in all it flowed well and set a nice pace. It's sad and strong and real. Well done. Loved it.
