During This Time of the Midnight

During This Time of the Midnight

Aubrey Bahala

And you were good at pretending like nothing happened.

And you are, as of the moment, happy being locked up inside her.

And you have her, giving your every little time for love.

And I had destruction inside of me.

End this pain that’s ripping every inch of my skin.

End my tragedy by looking away.

End the disaster that I have come to realize.

And your voice even reaches this town.

And you chose to watch me as I disgrace myself.

And, all I can do is pretend like you don’t exist.

End the show, end my story.

End their laughing by hugging me.

End the humiliation, end the shame.

And it won’t cost you much if you admit we happened.

End the illusion, the lunacies, and the false hopes.
