Conflicted Poem by Karly Jaye

Conflicted



I'll keep the moon and stars in a bottle
Maybe there they'll dance for me
Inside that glass, forever to rest
Then I won't feel so empty
Close my eyes
Try to decipher my thoughts and my dreams
Try to figure out if everything is what it seems
Clench my eyelids tight as I pray to the sky
As I slit my wrist and God watches me die
Awake from my nightmare that turned into reality
I can't revive and parts of me that have already suffocated
Held hostage by my undying tribulation
I've been stretched so thin I'm used to arteries extended
Conflicted with thoughts of you that have never ended
