She's going away into the night

I'll miss our conversations I'll miss our fights

Everything we hated about each other

Pointed out each other's flaws constantly

We were schizophrenic lovers...

"I hate you," she whispers, softly in my ear;

"More than the voices in my head

that make me want to disappear..."

I step back, I fall down

A needle pricks my hand

Evidence of our beautiful addiction

That only "WE" understand

I take it into my skin, as she walks out the door

"I'll never forget you," I whisper;

"Like the poison now in my veins

When you're gone, I'll only want and need you more..."

Skies cracked and fading gray

Like the circles on her skin

She picked and scratched them all away

So she could be perfect again

Cold air softly breezes by

The coming Autumn proving empty

She's never coming back again

But I'll still count the years until twenty...

I fell into your arms

I reached out for the sun

Needles pricking our fingertips

Leaves us no place to run

Falling into your arms

You'd imagine it would be safe and warm

But inside you're dead, inside you're cold

No love could ever form...

And the mirror that she made me

Smashed into a million pieces

Used to cut away the skin;

"I can't leave without you!" She screams,

But I turn and walk away

Her screams now fading into nothing

All the words she'd ever say

If only they still meant something...

To me...
