Pictures on the floor






Where did she go?
She's gone and I didn't even know

How'd she leave without even making a sound

I know that she was once here;
her memories are littered all across
this room.

Pictures of her smiling,
pictures of her laughing,
pictures of her dancing;
pictures of her life in full bloom

But where did she go, when did
she leave?
Look closer at the pictures, maybe
you'll see her story unfold.

The tears behind the laughter,
the frown behind the smile;
the dance that was her, running away
from a life that she was never allowed to let blossom
and bloom.

When did she go,
when did she leave,
when were her dreams shattered;
when was she broken, like a china doll
pushed off the shelf?

Why are the pieces left thrown all across the floor?

No Time Girl




🐦💀



The Well is deep
it's dark inside-sliding down ain't no carnival ride
No laughing; just screaming as the final plunge arrives

Hit the bottom, grind the gears,
Just can't stop those speeding fears from closing in;
grabbing the soul--they've got the control
they've got the hold--
finally strangling this prey's crashing emotional soul.

No time to scream, girl;
They've takin away your voice--
No time to cry, girl;
They've taken 'way your tears;
replaced them silicone drops that sting and burn--
No time to talk, girl;
They've taken away anyone who might have listened;
and left silence for you to taste and all it's bitterness.

No time to fight, girl--
Your fighting days for what once was you has burned into ashes;
No time for clashes, girl; for last chances at
Saving any sweetness

No time girl, no time is left girl;
All you've been left with is
Death.
