Exit
It’s finally the day to come,
blood mixing in.
Flows like a river
through oceans of sin.
Long past the point
where the numbness was new.
Long past believing
that anything’s true.
Steel against flint,
only flash in this night.
Desperate to see
but it only ignites,
the gasoline soaked
twisted rags in my soul.
No way to stop it
and nowhere to go.
You can only get up
til the falls break your bones.
Can only lose so much
before you’re alone.
You can only give so much
and once it’s all gone...
you paint on a smile
and pretend to go on.
