down the road

Childish dreams were swept away leaving me naked and alone
Tears were swept away
Hearts were swept away
I was swept away

Shaking
Fearing
Fist clenched
My love for you was overwhelming
Questioning myself
I acted in haste

Childish dreams came crashing down
Tears came crashing down smothered by my self-consciousness
Hearts came crashing down
I went crashing down

Into a world of self mutilation
Razor blades
Pills
And ropes
Tied me to the grave I dug

Childish dreams were put to rest
Tears were put to rest
Hearts were put to rest when the news hit
I was put to rest

One last scream
Filled with these confusing emotions
I am put to rest
