The fire is lapping at my ankles.
Laughing at my pain though.
As it burns down all the rainbows.
-
My breath comes ragged like these rumors.
Tyrannical ruler's
Frosted over like cranked-up coolers.
-
The wreckage simmers in the darkness.
Threatening to spread flaming chaos
Or spark bliss.
-
I have so little control
Nearly heartless.
All I can do is play my role
Trolling along....thoughtless...
-
And in the darkness,
No one can see you cry.
They can only imagine how happy you are
And wonder why.
-
You battle with the sadness
Constantly taunting the gallows.
Hollowed out like a jack-o-lantern
drowning in shallow shadows...
-
"You look so empty..."
She said...
That's what she said.
I can't connect all of the fractured pieces in my head...
-
I can't say out loud that I'd much rather be dead
Without someone freaking out over the last sentence that they read...
-
It'll never end because you can never trust who you can't trust.
But best believe the other things are always as truthful as they seem.
-
I guess I'll go on till I'm lost and forgotten.
Or till the hole in my chest is septic and beyond rotten...
I'm downtrodden.
I can't feel.
It's hard to separate what hurts and what's no longer real...
