A little boy tugs at his mothers arm while she ignores him. Tears springing to his eyes he wonders why.
We wrap ourselves in bubbles The numbness keeping us safe From the pain we hide from Silence filling gaping holes In our hearts as we try to forget
Here is the thing Before you came along I was doing just fine I knew the score My days all had an order
I loved my father He was a great man He was the worst of kind Sometimes he made me want to die Others he showed me how to shine
I’m wide awake The night still young My mind refusing To take the chains off To let me escape
The radiant crescent moon illumina… Transforming the clear azure water… The gentle evening breeze sending… I stand above my reflection, watch… A stranger stares back at me, her…
My heart yearns My memory flooding my head Images gloating of funs to be had Displaying first hand reminders The taste
Night has fallen Once again Leaving me alone With my thoughts Their incessant prattle
I’m exhausted No fight left My lids so heavy Rocks mark my eyes No tears left
Time ceases to exist Vanishing from my mind As my worries cry All the things I can’t control Throwing me back
My ceiling is dreary The white paint Paled from the years Flaking and peeling I stare morbidly content
An escape from the pain Someplace soft to fall When the world knocks me down And the ground is hard. Decorated by the hearts
You look at me Like I’m some prize on display Pride glimmering in your eyes As you smile encouragingly AND
I don’t know where to start Too much to say So much more to lose I know what I am risking But I don’t have a choice
Waking in a cold sweat Choking for breathe Scared to death The shadows prancing In the darkness
