Description Blink
Life is captured
In a snapshot of perfection
You and I are sitting together
Sharing kisses and goodnight wishes
Whispering the words of what puts me to sleep
And helps me forget the past at last
But things changed too fast
As I fell from the peaks of happiness

Blink
The curtain rises on a new scene
Life has careened off course
And what's worse is we don't even speak
The bleak and dreary life I lead is hardly worth living
I'm living an eternal hell
But I'm steadfast
Clinging to hope
My rope of safety
Please don't let me go
Don't let me fall into the abyss
Let's kiss and be better

Blink
Sinking in sorrow
With no light of tomorrow
Getting by on borrowed time
Sick of my rhyme
Sick of this shit
Sick of upward climb
Sick of the sickness
Just once more, kiss me and let things be peaceful again

Blink
I'm holding this knife
So close to my chest
So close to death
So close to snapping
Maybe for the best
Prepared to fix a seemingly endless turmoil
With a quick fix
The temptress dangles in my fingers
Dancing around my head, telling me sweet nothingness
How good it'll feel
To be gone from this God awful hell
But I drop the stainless blade
And prayed for the first time in years, that we can kiss and work things out

Blink
I can't think
Without you
Wandering
Alone
Desolate
Pondering the past
Shown things more clearer
The relationship I fucked up
My most morbid mistakes
Fights over nothing
And nothing to say
I want what we had back
The good times
All of it
Clinging to the bottle of whiskey
Do you even miss me?
Why can't things just be the same?
I have to change, eventually
I wish I wasn't wasted on my sofa, vomiting
I just want one more kiss

Blink
The razorblades are gone
Thrown away is the depressing poetry
My apathy is history
Suicide is completely washed from my mind
It's time I make this work
I give up the drugs
The drinking
The fucking fighting
Starting over
No more abuse
Threatening to hang myself
Bound by my bloody noose
I've missed you for so long
And the nights we kissed to our favorite song

Blink
I'm prepared to face you
With a dozen roses in my hand, I'm ready
Walking steady
Breathing heavy
I'm going crazy
I've been dreaming about seeing you for months
Months that seemed like forever
And forever is too long to be gone from you
I see you, walking down the street
The moon caresses your face, gently
Like I did many moons ago
So sentimentally
But you're not alone
There's somebody with you
A boy
Tall, leather jacket, unshaven face
You two are locked in an embrace
And then you lock lips
Loving his kiss
And slid your tongue into his mouth
In my hands, the roses withered
Browning, shriveled and lifeless
My grip is loosened, and the flowers fall to the floor
My faith is crushed
And I start to cry, watering the roses beneath my feet
Turning, I walk down the street
Head down
Hope lost
And my life is plunged back into the unwavering black
In the blink of an eye
Things changed
They always do
So fast and unexpectedly
Unpredictably
In the blink of an eye
