Oh those calm long mornings in playgrounds
All the pretty little diamonds we never found
Looking for the bright lights, shiny spinels
I gave you all the sapphires but you wanted rubies as well
Many silver tiaras I made for you
Tiny red glitters falling through your hair
We both know it is true
We both know it isn't fair
All the beautiful jewels you would throw away
Why did I never understand what you were trying to say?
And all the times you left, running out of fear...
When did that cheerful child disappear?
One day I made you smile
And I was glad it lasted for awhile
But you worked hard to hold all these crystal tears
That you kept to yourself for all these years
Laying on the roof at night
Somnolent, beholding the gleam in my eyes
You saw it
You saw
Now it was close to the end
Now you were tired of the word "pretend"
It would be nice to just reset
Why you always came back after you fled?
Erase the dolour, erasing the memories
If you had nowhere to be, why was it me you decided to keep?
I was a rutilant ornament
Made to coruscate
But you turned me into embers
With every single spark you effaced
Million crystal tears you didn't cry
The endless pain and the unforgiving fights
The rope was tied tight to my feet
There wasn't a way out
I couldn't compete
You said your heart was broken
Now I say my soul was stolen
You said your mind was tired
Now I lost my north... and misfired...

Falling through purple words
Poetry(...) These were the satellite's pictures that I saw All the little stars that disappear, I draw The planets, the stars, the scars No pause As I watched the falling girl with no flaws
