Nothing to Lose...

He used to smile 

His head was held high 

He'd show his teeth white as tile 

And look you in the eye 

When you saw him you knew 

This boy was in love 

But the things she put him through.. 

You couldn't dream of. 

She told him she loved him 

Time after time.. 

She wrote it in letters 

And wrote it in rhymes 

But why would you kill 

The man that you love ? 

Destroy his very will; 

Drag him to the edge of his limits..then shove ?

It really didn't take long.. 

For her to crush him.. 

She did him so wrong 

He wanted his life to end 

He should have known she was lying.. 

In that love letter she wrote. 

The one he put in a frame, 

A frame which now broke. 

And looking at the glass 

He see his reflection 

Broken and smashed 

Filled with rejection..

What did he do? 

Did he fill her with hate? 

He sickens himself.. 

He knows its too late. 

Because seeing his face 

Fills him with rage 

He's choking on disgrace 

He's at his books last page 

And the ink is dull... 

Its fading away 

As he digs his final hole,

There's nothing left to say. 

He knows all her secrets. 

He knows all her lies. 

He can see her soul 

When he looks in her eyes. 

That's when she looks down... 

To the left or the right,

She feels ashamed 

When penetrated by his sight. 

Because she can see that he knows 

Every thought in her head 

And as the inner girl shows 

His heart is no longer red... 

He picks up a piece of his reflection 

Lying on the ground, 

Watching as it fades away 

And transparency is found...

This frame is like his heart 

Broken on the floor, 

The floor which marks the start 

To the end of her fall which is no more. 

And though he still loves her, 

She simply doesn't care. 

The only thing for sure 

Is that pain is never fair. 

And it hurts too much 

Just to say her name, 

To think about her touch 

And remember all their game... 

And so he has given up 

Just like she did on him, 

He's done that to his life 

Now he's ready for the end. 

And what better way 

Than to drain out his heart 

Though its in his body 

She took it with her the day she decided to depart... 

As he cuts into his wrist 

He can't help but think, 

What part of love was it that I missed 

When I had to blink... 

It doesn't matter anymore.. 

Blood drips down his chair 

A large red puddle on the floor 

He no longer has to care... 

It really wasn't a hard choice.. 

It didn't make him sad.. 

Hearing the sound of her sweet voice 

Reminded him she's all he ever had.. 

So having nothing 

Helped him choose.. 

Because when you've got nothing 

You've got nothing to lose...
