An Ode To Better Simpler Times

to the shattered windows of an abandoned house
  to a lost childhood
    to friends forgotten
      to innocence stolen
        to this heart that won't stop beating...

  too many times I've tried to escape...

to no avail. Here I am. Here I stay. There is no out. I am here. There's no out...

Sleeping in cars, a new view every night... Did we ever think this would change? it all changed so suddenly. How did we get so far from there?

Bleeding hearts, broken dreams, fading hopes. Will you close your eyes with me? do i fight just for you?

Please promise me you'll keep going... Please stay for me.

I miss the simpler times. I miss you. I miss hope...
