Melted candles burning in the wind
Pulling out the sorrow from within
Bleeding like no one has bled before...
Don't stop the pain...I want some more...

Silence is solemn when the time is right
Needing it here to get me through life
Asking questions that don't make sense
"Is the grass really greener on the otherside of the fence?"

"Will I feel better if I keep going?"
"Will my life ever improve without me knowing?"

**It's Over**

I've ruined myself
There's nobody here when I really need help
The candles are dimmed
The sorrow has been taken from within

Still I feel the pain...

It's not getting smaller
The addictions are stopping me; I can't make it much longer
All that crap does is make me stronger
Or that's what I'm led to believe

Still I can't see it
I'm already taken
You can never go back when your path has been chosen
Or that's what I'm led to believe

"Just a few more sips" I said
"What will it hurt? I'm practically dead"
"No one ever cared about me"
"We'll just let them wait and see"

The candles are out
The sorrow stopped coming
The pain is gone....

Author's Note: This is not about me in any way- It's about a girl who makes wrong choices - and she ends up losing her life because of them - Its kinda deep and dark for me - but thats ok I guess... Please tell me what you think - I don't normally write like this so I don't know how it sounds!!
