the words still linger on my lips
thoughts i still long to depart
slices like a dagger to the heart
quiet wishes of stealing time
...
gently strumming my guitar
soft music fills the air
quietly humming along
thoughts begin floating
...
notes floating melodically by
soft hums of eerie lullabies
stir hauntingly in the stale air
somberly carrying memories
...
a lone unique rose standing
never really fully blooming
but still holding such beauty
many storms came and went
...
laying at the bottom of a dark abyss
crying out, pleading in desperation
up from these ashes i hope to rise
fighting to emerge from this deep pit
...
escaping for just a moment
sitting alone with my knife
alluringly it calls out my name
whispering promises of comfort
...
the night was loud again today
for the girl who couldn't sleep
so she went for a walk outside
all her thoughts dragging along
...
I'm one mistake from the edge
teetering on the cliff, hanging
testing my balance, life or death
trying to figure out how to live
...
looking in the mirror its no longer me
just a broken lifeless shell is all i see
wearing the makeup and the right clothes
the fake smile, it all puts on a show
...
so empty, blank page
waiting to be filled
as it ought to be
putting pen to page
...
