.:reality found:.
Here I stand, locked in a vigilant pose
An unseen force right under my nose
Realizations hit me like a tidal wave
A shattered heart is all that's left to save
An intruder in my life
Causing my newest strife
Perfection lost like a single grain of sand
As this unseen force stole love from my hand
The truth is now know to me
For nothing's what it seems to be
Glittering pinpoints of light above
Fade along with this once perfect love
The will to try flees from my mind
Head against the bars my heart in a bind
Despair invades my soul and tears block my vision
Destined to be alone, forever in this prison
Slumped against the bars, no will to try
Darkness overtakes me and I continue to cry
Arm through the bars, my hand limp and cold
My love wasn't stolen, it went willingly, I was told
