A penny

It's cruel 
In the dark 
To wake and simply find you 
Ripping out your feathers.
 
I hate that growing up I was 
Put under a spell 
Thinking love is everything!
Tonight now 
I know that it's not here 
Or if it is one of us is destroying it
 
It's not that simple is it? 
I played my game 
I think I should say it 
Or should have.
You go do as you wish 
Cause I'm not 
Afraid of the dark 
Or the objects 
That preoccupy this void! 
 
I lie 
Claiming everything will be great 
Like a fairy tale ending,
But I know those endings,
I know that they are dark,
We are clearly at the end of one,
But the moral lesson? 
 
We grow
We drift 
That love was just a word 
Over used 
Abused!
The one time I didn't
Tie it around someone's throat 
I regret it most,
So what is it that I've learned? 

Head down
Pay no attention to those demons 
You must save yourself 
I can only support 
Count my scars like sheep
Just please get some sleep.
