Bittersweet Embrace

I was born behind these iron bars
Chasing dreams down endless corridors
Looking for you

I search for meaning amongst the confusion
I reach for solace beyond my confinement

You beckoned me
No words were spoken
But I heard your voice through the noise

You gave me a world
Gave me a purpose
I stand by you

But this living hell won't let our hearts bear fruit

Their heartless worlds slowly kill us
The bystanders only watch us bleed  

You couldn't wash the blood from your hands

They don't understand
Therefore they destroy
Relishing in our demise

So at the end of this corridor, we must part ways

Our embrace is bittersweet
Tender warmth upon my skin
Chilled air within my veins

In your arms I savor the silence.

We cannot be saved
But fate's chains still bind us

Wherever we go from here
I know your not far behind
This is my entry for the Writing Tournament Round III!! I was really surprised I made it this far. :O
Our theme for this round was "At The Farthest Ends." :iconwriters--club:

Since at first I was a little stuck on what to write about, I decided to go to my playlist on my ipod and put it on shuffle.
I decided to use incorporate the first four songs together into a story as inspiration for this. :D

:blush: Oops, I'm a little out of it today, and I got what "end-stopped" means wrong. :noes:

And as I said, not capitalizing every line is just my own personal quirk. :la:
