Sixteen stoned, she said
And I'll be gone
I don't understand how I worked so hard
And still got everything so wrong
Within the night I surrender to
There is such a powerful release
But for all the comfort it provides
I can't find any peace
I can close my eyes
And shut out the day
But for all the pain it shows
I can't turn away
And I can ignore my ears
Pretend I don't hear you cry
But later I'll break down
When you're no where in sight
For all the adoration
And for all of our days
I can't ignore the pain
But I can't walk away
So I'll continue to stay
And you'll continue to lie
And the day will come finally
And I'll be nothing in your eyes


Penned by my hand on the 24th of Phaestian, in the year 266 AF.
