Open book
Can I tell you my story
Will these words paint a picture
In your heart will you only see
The dark shadow that I used to be
As I sip my whisky
Eyes on the ground
This place is empty like me
Comfortable alone, no one around
Been hurt so many times
I stay locked up in here
Drowning in all that I can
Hurt, lust and fear
What’s the point, I’m still not sure
Feed on the drama
Pay no mind to the whore
Walk the line for a while
Do you even care anymore?
Were all built with fault
We all carry sin
The martyr inside us all
Knows what you’re thinking
If the clock keeps on ticking
He will keep you tripping
I can sum up my life
Love, hate and despair
Nothing lasts forever, because forever doesn’t care
What is too good to be true
Will always rip you into
Life will keep you guessing
What the hell am I supposed to do
Something wrong with this poem?
