Hope is Lost in Glass Rain

I'm desperate for will to forget you

But although my memory tails shamelessly

Your face is burned in way too deep

And my mind starts pouring lies out over me

Shards of glass flash in front of me

I can not tell truth from my own fantasies

Shards of glass show what used to be

It's hard to tell even what it is

I think I see

Shards of glass falling endlessly

When my mind plays tricks constantly

Testament of my sanity

Tragic how dementia grabs hold of me;

My decrepit mind is slowly falling

A descent so loud it's scaring me

From afar I hear my madness calling

I begin to express this deep, deep longing

But loose my words almost instantly

It feels like it once was significant

But comes out as pure lunacy

Don't think less of me

Just because I broke

Would you withstand

A tide so strong

I stood in it's way

Forlorn

Feels like letting go

I don't have to know

When it finally comes

I will leave with it at once

Leave me be

I don't want you to see

And remember this reject

Undignified and dead

There is a reverence in seeing

long awaited lunacy finally setting in

But the indignity of something that once

stood so proud falling down is wrong

How any man could be asked to bare it

I do not know

I can no longer see my reflection

in these shards of glass

and now I see that all this time

the glass puppet was me
