Guilt Takes Hold as Stories Unfold

Another gun to the temple Another knife to the throat Another play with death Another lie; another hoax Its that sparkle in your eye That dies out; fades away Its that smirk on your lips That slowly starts to cave Its a hole in your heart From the girl that you loved Its the butterflies that die Like every kiss; every hug Its the hope that you lost Held in a red velvet box Its the reel playing in your head Of everything you've lost The regret that you hold The memories of long ago The thoughts running through For everything you can never hold The mistake that you made The lies that were told The hurt that you dealt Stories start to unfold Secrets were found And feelings were lost Love rewound Hearts were tossed It was the gleam in her eyes The lust that you couldn't ignore The ignorance was bliss Until you could hide no more The guilt over ran you The lies digging deep Robotic days And nights with no sleep She was everything to you Everything and more But you shattered her heart As soon as your clothes hit the floor Guilt tears at you Building up higher now No longer are you free But only as much as your concience will allow
