Pandora's plea

forever in a day, my heart is slowly fading away.

 a victim to time i cant hold my tears any longer.

 slice my cheeks and burn a hole through my soul. 
i surrender

scorned by my own follies. 

victim of my own misdirection. 

let me drown in a calm sea, floating among red poppies. 

let me sink. 

gently close my eyes, put a flower in their place.

 a reminder of what they lost in their blindness. 

deafened by the screech of your silence, 

and tormented by the absence of your violence. 

hand me a blade, 

the one to you i gave, in my misguidance.

 and i will place it along side me, 

my open grave, a tribute in honor of the memories i have slayed. 

the friendship i have betrayed, the trust i have mislaid. 
watch it decay

tie a bolder to my strength and drop it in the ocean. 

wait till i am colder. older. forgotten over and over. 

then let the tide regurgitate, return me. 
place your pain in the cart and i will carry it on my shoulders.

Pull me into your dreams, but only as a bystander. 

replace me 

but don't misplace me

don't forget you misguided me
with the feelings that you hide from me
the key you handed me
opened the door to my felony.
i believed you
and sinned unintentionally.
