fighting to escape darkness
shadows reel me back in
echoing taunts of weakness
presenting me with a knife
...
a bitter taste lingers
dripping from my lips
decaying secrets
ache for their escape
...
letting go of the old faded photo
it falls to the ground,
glass shattering in its frame
the old photo buried in brokenness
...
sitting alone again
memories so near
cant get past fear
disgust for myself
...
lost on this long path of life
been through so much
people have cut me down
i've kept many dark secrets
...
this reflection so full of hurt
cracking its beginning to crumble
breaking into many damaged pieces
like glass that's been shattered
...
whispers of i love you flows off your lips
your hands brings warmth and caring.
touches and kisses of sweet tenderness
making me feel so loved and beautiful.
...
your glare painfully slices through
growling your words cut so deep
slicing me to tiny miserable pieces
as you speak of my many failures
...
broken and empty
no fight left to carry on
so many heavy thoughts
questions weighing on my mind
...
is there ever going to be light again
in this world that has been so dark
and leaving you so lost and weary.
how do you make sense
...
