Please don’t let me choose, i can’t bear to let go of you, all it takes is one word from you, i’ll walk away

@mcliffe:

Woman alone – are you on the phone – in a poorly lit tunnel – with your feet on stone

@musicmydrug:

Look@ me now so tattered&torn, livin in exile, wish I’d never been born, Look@ me now, lost it all, bound&broken I’ll take the fall.

@nicolesharpe:

No more strength to lose, feels like I’ve been running fast without shoes

@synthie_dBshock:

leave me alone tonight, in the darkness of my mind, with the pain you’ve put me through this time, just leave it all behind

@BendingKnee:

All the choices have led2 this, each wrong turn, bound in addiction. Wut joy is2 b found within these walls now called home,so alone

@synthie_dBshock:

I’m torn to pieces, can’t stay here anymore, cause i know with every sorrow, i close the door to tomorrow

@BendingKnee:

Hpe still remains, a glint of lite that keeps me sane.All has been stripped awy,yet I will stand4 in this state,God will raise me up

@brucekaechele:

You promised you would be here, You promised you were coming, How can I trust you, When your promise means nothing

@BendingKnee:

Dear one, so alone, do u not kno that I care 4 u. Through every mistake & all udo, I am here, come 2 me 4 comfort 4 love I am here

@brucekaechele:

I walked out into the cold, Into anger and lost desire, I walked out into the cold, And walked right into the fire

@BernieCorvette:

These barefoot blues,What am I to do,I can’t walk to you,With these barefoot blues..

@BernieCorvette:

Here I go again,Back to where I’ve been,This cold hard floor,Can’t walk it anymore,So I’m back to where I’ve been..

@BernieCorvette:

There’s no house here anymore,The colors have turned blue, You cannot spell a house, If I no longer have a “u”.

@musicmydrug:

Leave me now my butterfly, it’s time for me to sit & cry; tears of Joy, tears of pain my butterfly will fly again…

@scott_hunter_:

turn off the sound,the noise is surrounding,in this tunnel of stone,stuck in this fray,dont go away,I wan2b but I dont wan2b alone

@lynngg:

I know he really loves me, He’s right in so many ways, I just had to have my selfish way. I think I should have stayed.

@JussJames:

All upon these bloody sands, Victms of a horrid land, We are casualties of war, We’ll be forgotten and ignored, 2x.

@BernieCorvette:

His voice fills the air,it follows me everywhere,surrounded by despair,while his voice still fills the air.

@EssenSualSongs:

Back to da wall,Face to da ground,Hands on ears,Dont wanna hear sound,Feeling alone,Nothing in sight,Tears around me,Tears around me

@tkdale1:

She’ll hide from the sun, so you can’t see her heart, ’cause when you’re swimmin’ in quicksand…the water’s always dark
