How many times have I sat all alone?

Preoccupied with life and the hardship it's shown.

How many nights have I cried myself to sleep

To hide the daggers that cut my heart so deep

How many times have I had enough?

Then got back on track; believed I was tough

Put all that aside, and then there's you

The only thing I thought was true

I see you passing by; catch a glimpse of your eyes

Instead of love I see betrayal and lies

I see hate, and sorrow, and never ending dismay

I see buried scars that you try to hide away

But instead of a frown, I see a bright smile

I see happiness I haven't felt in a while

I see joy; I see my reason to live

I see cruelty you chose to forgive

Even though that means the world to me

I am still not a soul that you can see

I'm just a face you pass on your way

The one you greet with a nod; but no words to say

The one you step on without a second glance

The one you never let in on your plans

And quite frankly, I'm getting kind of tired

This was never the pain I desired

Those scars; are reminders of hurt you inspired

And now for me, you're worthless; expired

I'm starting to be my own person again

But your poison will not go in vain

It poisoned my heart and left it like stone

It poisoned my existence, and now I'm alone

Darkness has taken over; I see no sun

Now I can't undo the damage that's done

I'm nothing but a ghost, a mere human shell

That stood on the edge, and without hesitation ,fell

Fell down to her demise, that place where she now lies

All because she fell in love with your sparkly eyes
