walking away from myself.
With tenacity you chace me
You seek me out,
I run until I am weary
And you always fill me with doubt.
You chow me things
That I cannot un-see
You tell me things
That should never be.
But what can I do?
You are inside me
I cannot run away
From the destruction you bring.
You hollow me out
I live as a shadow
If I let you have control, you will take from me my life
You will violently end me, but oh, the irony.
I am already dead.
You’ve taken my heart and turned it to stone,
I am still living but not as my own.
I try to build myself up
But I cannot defy your gravity,
You cave me in, bury me in debris.
I cannot escape from you
And this is the saddest part.
You are forever bound to me
So to kill you
Woud be to kill myself.
