More Than What You See Now Poem by Daniel Wittfoth

Can't remember when
when did it all-come undone
just can't remember when

Torn-my heart
from these visions
and it's slowly breaking

My trembling hands
finding it hard to hold on
this way I feel is destroying me

And these shadows have brought me comfort
this cold numb abyss-my savior
Now it's hard to let go
of this sometimes-bitter sweet oblivion
Loneliness I fear
this empty void growing within
It's enough
for everything to slip away

Nothing can erase
not even forgive
just can't remember when

I've completely fallen
broken and shattered
into a thousand pieces before you

Should never have let you
consume me so deeply
I am half dead-half alive
this is how I truly feel inside
And it's been a long hard fight
just trying to survive-from your touch

And I'm looking for a rainbow
while standing in the rain
Lightning, thunder, the pain
my tears falling just the same
These wrists bleeding
because I just can't remember when
I was more
than what you see now...
