Shells And Petals
Brokenness And Hope
Shotgun shells and broken wings
Tattered holes and battered dreams
Bullet holes attached to strings
No more use in listening
*
Her eyes don’t leave you room for reason
Love her scars, she's done with hate
She’s lost herself deep in-the process
A fractured soul about to break
*
Faintly her souls song plays on repeat
Hiding amongst lost memories
Brokenness falls, petal stained ivory
A promise played with missing keys
*
She held to notes inside a love song
The rhythm, like her feelings, played
Believed the melody for so long
His lyrics masked the masquerade
*
She wants desperately to believe in magic
Though his actions dimmed her fire
No longer tries to be pragmatic
She fans the flame to her desire
