The Last Time

January 11, 2018

If you knew it was the last time
Instead of pushing me away?

If you felt my pain
Would you listen to my silent cries?

If you knew my demons were holding me captive
Would you recuse me Jack or let me drown?

If you felt the emptiness of my heart
Would you hold me longer?

Don’t look too far inside....
My demons aren’t friendly
Not even towards me

If you read between my lines
Would you be able to understand my message?

Nobody understands
.............until I’m gone.
