The Comeback

I was trapped
under the rubble
of a burnt down house.
Choked on the smoke
that replaced my oxygen.
Smothered out by my own mind
like the fire I smothered in my heart.

Spent time dark and cold.
No light to guide my way.
No hope to see me though.
Yet I did not crumble.

I screamed and lashed
out into the darkness.
Though nobody could hear my pleas.
Though nobody could see my fight.
The struggle went on.
Rebel without a cause.
Rebel without a pause.

Dying on the inside.
On the inside.
I'd come undone.
Waiting for a chance.
For a chance.
For so long.
To prove you wrong.

You came to me.
Lent me your hand
Lent me your heart.
I beat you down.
Broke you in two.
Left you bloody and helpless
in the middle of a street.
No chance for you.
No future for me.
You ruined us and
all that we could be.

I moved on.
Your stuck in the past.
But I feel better without you
At Long Last.
No Chance for you.
Found a future for me.
And sir there is not a place
for you to be.
