Hush Little Butterfly

Hush little butterfly
Fly away from this place
Until the cuts you made are faded then gone
Until the tears you shed are there no more
Until everyone forgets your name
Your by yourself
All alone
Forgetting the world you used to know
Faded memories play in your head
Has your heart playfully pretends to be dead
Your ready to end it
End your life
Worried the scars will come back once more
Your heart is sore
Your head is light
So lay your head down
Try with all your might
To stay alive
The thorns on roses are cutting your skin
Reminding you of what could have been
Close your eyes
Go to sleep
Until "life" is a faded memory.
