Consumed
Help Us
Brown hair, blue eyes
Fake laughs, dark mind
Pretending to be happy
But can’t you see
The darkness is slowly
Swallowing me.
A small ray of light still shines through
That must be hope
That’s coming from you
Surprise, surprise someone’s here
Finally, Help
After all these years
You say you love me
Is that true?
Where were you at when I need you?
Oh that’s right you weren’t next to me
While I cried every night
So here I am half-way consumed
But once I’m gone….
The darkness will be coming after you
There’s a scream next door
In the house of violence
She screams for help
But then there was silence
She had been murdered
Her life had been taken away
Looking into his eyes for she was his pray
She had been suffocated
Her body beaten and frail
Strangled by the neck
Until she turned pale
She must have been scared
Knowing she was about to die
Her life ending in such a way
Brought a tear to my eye
Somebody please save us
I want to go home
I can’t take it being trapped here
All on my own
I can hear them coming
There are voices outside my door
I know why they are here
They have come to hurt me some more
Though We Forget
Though we forget
Of a love in which we need
We always do things
In which we cannot exceed
But think of this
It may take a week
A month or even a year
But there nothing like true love to appear
