Affliction Poem by Lunar Aires

You abuse yourself
In your little world
Only thoughts of you
Whirl and twirl
And you wish you could
Run away
But even if you do
Your heart would stay

Fly away
Face a new day
Fly away
But could you take the pain
Could you ever face your pain

And your days pass by
Neither fast or slow
Going nowhere
Just caught up in the flow
You're looking for the sun
'Cause you feel so cold
You wish you'd stay young
But you're growing old

Fly away
Face a new day
Fly away
But could you take the pain
Could you ever face your pain

You've grown tired of what you've become
Never getting past what you've been running from
You picked up a loaded gun
Now people say
What have you done?

You flew away
Never face a new day
You flew away
You couldn't take the pain
You couldn't face your pain

This one is a little on the darker side. I wrote this one on deployment at a low time in my life, and from time to time, it comes back to me. I will never forget it as long as I live.
