Don't come near me,
Let me stay in my dark little corner where I'm safe and free,
& My dark words can escape me,
While my creativity lights up my glossy eyes,
& Salty tears pour down my cheek.

I'm content in my misery,
Please, don't save me-
Light has never done anything for me,
So please, don't make me leave my dark sanctuary.
{Twisted as it sounds, this is where I feel safe}

I thought I knew you, darling,
But we both know I'm to blame,
'Cause I pushed you away,
& All you did was try to be sure I lived another day.

You used to be the light in my eyes,
You were bright and warm, just like summertime,
But then, something changed,
& You went away.
{I swear, I  need you}

Now I'm left here,
All alone in a dark and dusty room,
Wishing that I had never lost you.
{Why can't I find you?}

I'm all alone now,
Trying to pick up the sharp shards of my heart,
But my hands get cut on the edges,
& When I look in the mirror, I realize how much I hate how my eyes don't shine like they used to when I was with you.

The temperature drops six degrees,
While I try to hide away all my dusty memories,
Locking them behind strong closed doors,
& Maybe once they no longer haunt me,
I can get strong and maybe sooner or later move on.

I whisper every night for the pain to go away,
Thinking that maybe if I can walk down the stairs of my heart,
& Let these dark words ignite some feeling,
Maybe it might just be enough for me to leave my broken-hearted misery,
& For once,
Maybe I could forget your name.
This is kind of a sequel to "I Can't Stay."
I'm really not sure what else to say about it, so enjoy? :3
