Things are breaking Things are changing I am becoming undone By the lies behind your smile My heart is empty My mind is numb Breaking to the sight of empty words By the lies behind your smile If I could tell you How my breath hitches in my lungs How it gets caught in my…

Greenhouse of Sentiment
She looks in among the rubble and crumbling rooftops Scanning far and wide Laying her soul down in soil Open to the possibility of another Her roots have began to wither away No water to help her grow She is restless Seeking a new place to call home This greenhouse of sentiment Has become her…
