Take it all Away

Take it all away
The heaviness I feel is deafening
Take me away
Back again
Back to those nights
You slept breathing on my soul
The comfort too much for comfort
The clock keeps ticking
Time doesn’t stand still for us anymore
I pray here all alone
staring in the mirror at a solemn woman
faded to scars
faded to a shade much darker
left to stand in the shadows
By your hand that lead
To a shade of nothingness
Take it all away
Take me away
God, please take it all from me
So I can believe in beauty again
The colors of my world
are meant to paint the new
so I can see myself shine as before
for I can’t live with all these
memories
of the way you saw me through
to be nothing but a sore painting
of all I ever fought for
for you
only so you could
Give it all away
