Contact Poem by Matt Burgett

a lust for love I use to have
but before I died inside
hidden shame to the surface now
in darkness I wish to hide

contact with the world around
I want them not to know I'm there
buried away not to be found
they can't know that I'm scared

About my life I've thought about
weather it should stay or end
for I know that deep inside
I can never keep a friend

I've ruined all I've ever had
Now I know what I must do
Get up now and leave this land
But I just can not leave you

You told me what I should know
But that doesn't mean I do
the person that I hurt the most
ended up being you

I'm too far past no returning point
to come back to reality
So I'll drift away and never return
To my existing mentality
