I promise
I thought the darkness would never get to me
Tears in your eyes
Seems like it will never stop
Never end
You wish for hope but it never seems to come
Hopeless.
Wishing things would end
As I laid there with you,
My mind began to travel to the place where I once again felt safe.
I began to think of my life before you
And what life was going to be like with you.
I remember getting up one dayIt started like any otherI sat down me and my brotherInsults were Normal till later I was pulled away from my mother Drugs ran through her veinsTrying to cover up past pains I remember her using make up to cover tear
I'm All AloneLost and alone, in a battle i can not win.Fighting the darkness inside.Trying to keep it under control.Sanity slipping fast, reaching out for a hand to grab.
Heart hangs heavy like raindrops on the window
Tears fall like rose petals in the first chill of autumn wind
Hope shone bright like the moon at midnight
Eclipsed by the shadow of self
Can you see them?
Are they out in the open?
Can you tell that they are even there?
Are they hidden that well?
Kept me locked up like a wild animal
where my only friends were
the scars on my hips
and the voices in my head.
Telling me all my wrongs
as if I couldn't already see
all the sins that lie within me.
Clouds begin to creep
I can’t stop the seep.
The sludge and muck
Seizes me, I’m stuck.
My arms go first
Seized by shadow’s thirst.
Insatiable, unstoppable
Misery’s quite probable.
sometimes…
sometimes i am not asleep
i just can’t get out of bed
i lay there motionlessly and pretend that i cant hear you come in
feign deadness to the sound of everyone in and out and in and out
