Nothing beneath

your driving nails in my heart

killing me with every sentence you speak

look what we've become

unraveled like the thread used to sew our eyes shut

cinched down in crossing patterns

color draining out and down

crimson drops

impulses stagger across our minds

a gun with itchy trigger in your hand

begging for a scratch

inverted entry wound

painting the walls and cieling

cast pattern of a life

so beat down so broken

keep trying to reach you

i just dont know whats left to prove

or whats left to save

standing near the edge

unable to look down

nothing beneath

watching the bottom fall out

like a dove diving twords concrete

barreling twords you faster and faster

searing with every panicked breath

was just not quick enough to save you

of maybe you just didnt reach back

dont think i have the will to catch you

just before we hit the ground

and lay beside you as the cracks fill up with blood

a shattered life

such a repulsive ingraning image in my minds eye

my dove you've stained your wings

look what depths we've been reduced to

defening silence

something was lost along the way

when doves fall

so many lives feel the impact

your pain will echo louder then you could even imagine

a sudden stop wont fix it

sorrowed eyes weap

they've clipped your wings

but you still believe you can fly

and i cant change your mind

in severed hands of nearing fate

cold and fridged touch

the choice is yours

but watch your step

the ledge is crumbling beneath your feet

a self distructing cliche

my dove they've clipped your wings

and i dont think i can save you from it

not this time
