Ashes

Made a big mistake Wish to take it back My life's like a train Running out of track Want to erase and rewrite Don't want to take blame Escaping is a worse condition I wish this could be a game Turned invisible To your eyes Dying slowly inside Forced to tell lies Misery I bring to myself Watching you each day Feeling scornful of self Waiting on lost hope? For someone, someday For a time it wouldn't hurt For when sweet love turns bitter Like glowing embers turned to ashes And then there's nothing left... Just ashes.

Charades

I was used to being alone 
Suddenly everything changed
And I was the last to realise 
That my life wasn't the same
I tried to embrace the change
But being caught in a cage
Just wasn't the same
As the life that used to be a game
There had been winning or losing
Succeeding or failing
Either one or the other
Nothing in between
When I started realising 
That the change is in me
That I've started caring
For the ones that I knew
Suddenly life's not a game
Its more of a trial
To see whose more important
Innocence is missing
Need someone to take blame
Guess I'm the someone
Since I started this charade.
