Dreams of Afar

All these things running through my head.
When I can't even remember the last thing I said.
I want to cry.
I want to die.
Fuck this life, stop telling me lies.
I need to get out, cry to the stars.
Spill my secrets, secrets run afar.
More memories, more lies.
I will never escape the fire in your eyes.
I hate who I've become,
Yet love who I've been.
Dreams of afar, memories of back when.

there is a freshness

to your work. Despite the darker nature of it, everything is honest and doesn't bother to gloss over the rough spots. It is raw emotion that shines through every word. ~ Ronda
