everything that could have been
it's not what it was before
now that everything's closing in
it's not safe here anymore
i wish i was there to see
echoes
of what i used to be
echoes
of what you've done to me

what would i do if i could?
what i should do if i would?
in my every nothing
it all somehow meant something
but that's irrelevant now
because i lose everything
a thought starts to grow and breed
the warnings i don't believe

and they will never get me
i hope they will forgive me
i will never forget this
and maybe a time will come
when i'll learn to regret this
but...
it'll be too late to let go
it's too small in here to echo

Shadows
Shadows
The little girl never slept very well. She didnt like the dark. In her twilight lit, dusty room, she watched the gas lamps outside flicker and fade, casting eerie shadows dancing on her walls, which scared her more. When she did sleep (which was in snatches), she dreamt that the shadows on her wall would come alive and drag her away into their evil world. Her father laughed when she told him, telling her that big girls never had nightmares. Shaking her head weakly, she snuggled deeper into her covers, trying to block the shadows away. For a while, it was working and the girl drifted into light fearless sleep. Then

Just a Shadow
She smiled at herself in the mirror with a twisted kind of amusement, almost laughing at her dilemma.
Here she was, an assassin, staring at her red rimmed eyes and tear streaked cheeks in a public bathroom.
