Cold Winter Night

by Laura

Catch me when I fall
Fix me when I bleed
Tear down my wall and cure my disease
Please say that you still love the new me
I've often thought of suicide
I just needed a little cyanide
If you wonder why my life fell apart
Maybe you should think back to the start

As if I ever had it all together
As if I ever dressed for sweater weather
I never needed to feel it better
I even used to practice the perfect final letter

Free my mind from the grips of this affliction
Let me fall into the crashing waves of this addiction
It's better than it ever was in hazy days I shed my blood
Varied shades of insanity invaded my mind just like a flood

My feet are numb from all the miles
The wear and tear; years of denial
Trading warming smiles for sinister glares
Losing all my rights and growing out my hair

I lost my way for quite a while
And I have scars from deadly trials
I survive every day through the battles I fight
With the glisten of her lips in those cold winter nights
