Morbid Symphony

Tapping my foot to the sound of my crying
My tears dance to the beat
In this senseless harmony
I’m beginning to admit defeat

Dancing to the sound of my despair
I scream but make no sound
Here I am, your lifeless mannequin
Thrown down on the ground

My attempts at breaking this morbid flow
Are futile, even with force
Pleas for help are strangled
For my voice is now too hoarse

Every night I cry myself to sleep
It’s my bittersweet lullaby
And as I fall lower on my shifting pitch
The lines above muffle my cry

I try to climb back, upon the frail stave
But I fail to find my feet
This spiralling despair just cannot be paused
Now this piece is stuck on repeat

Someone stop these notes from flowing
I cannot help but to obey
Someone stop these tears from flowing
They’re sweeping me away

I try to sing in time with the world
But it’s a broken harmony
This taunting inside my head has turned
My past into a parody

And the rhythm of my sombre crying
Keeps altering in time
The sordid finale is drawing nearer
Now I’ve become a mime

Tangled by my meaningless notes
I am lost in this melody
And this poem is but a prelude
From a desperate symphony
