The world oh so bright in my eyes
Now seems to be so grey

I'm still not sure
What turn of events
Caused my world's color
To slowly but surely fade away

It's funny how one moment
Everything can be going your way
Then all of a sudden a storm starts brewing
And when lightning strikes nothings ever the same

Amusing isn't it?
How one moment you could be flying sky high
Then the next moment
You're on your face on the ground

Isn't it funny how everything around you
Even your heart can fall apart
And never even make a sound?

The realization never dawned on me
Until the color from my world disappeared
That one or two happy moments
In this life is all some are spared

This realization in itself
Has prepared me
For the next time lightning strikes

So next time I'll be ready
For whatever challenge is thrown at me by this life

Awoken in the night
To find you once again in my midst

I'll never understand the control you had over me
The power you wielded enabling me to act like this

Your once oh so intoxicating presence
Began chokes me like a thick cloud of poision

But from you I just couldn't get away
Almost as if in time I was frozen

The closer you got to me
The more I choked and heaved
I can't believe that once upon a time
I was so easily decieved

Your once so soft and warm hands
That use to caress my face
Are now hard, cold, and burn my skin like fire

Why is it that my heart
Wanted what it wanted
Even the worst possible desire?

Just as your poisionous presence
Threatened to do away with me
Your grip suddenly released and I was set free

But never the less
The traces of you and marks you left
Still remain all over me

No matter how hard I try to forget
I just don't have enough strength
I guess I'll always recall
The night you came so close
To stealing my very last breath
