So much for love.

My only hope, dashed

In thinking it could save a people

Life never disappointed me so hard

Everything is crumbling down so smile and pretend it's all okay.

Fighting for triumph is a lost campaign

Only in fairytales does the hero be rescued

Released from death and doesn't die in vain.

Wilting into myself

Hurt spiraling out instead

All of my dreams out of reach on an endless shelf

The only thing I can do now is to put a smile up and ignore the seeping red.

Everything will turn out alright

Lying is your only self-satisfication

Smile and don't show your fight

Ember flecks of pain start their destruction.

Crying won't help, neither will distraction

And yet that smile is still locked on

Never fading, such determination

Young and bold and healable

Oaths of never giving up echo

Under a sea of lost hope, beaten

Dancing in the rain

Oblivion ending.
