Fan Fiction ❯ When It All Falls Away ❯ When It All Falls Away ( One-Shot )

[ A - All Readers ]

When it all falls away
And all the layers cannot hold
All the tears that can no longer be kept at bay
All the truth; it must be told
When it all falls away

When it all falls away
I lay here scattered, broken,
Shattered, soft-spoken,
Curled in the corner to keep the nightmares at bay
When it all falls away

And I can't feel real,
I cannot feel
Anything but pain

It's not your fault that I hurt,
But my own for letting you stray so close,
Like a moth to a flame, you would only burn away

When it all falls away
I find myself alone in the end;
The shadows will take their pay.
And I am nothing more than a memory in a mind's bend,
When it all falls away

When it all falls away
I will have given all of myself
Every chance at happiness
Just to see you smile again

When it all falls away
I refuse to hurt you with my tears,
Refuse to hold you back with my fears.

If only you could love me like I need to be,
But no one understands but me
When it all falls away

When the last word shall be spoken,
No one will understand why I pulled away,

In the end,

When it all falls away.
