Blood Encrusted memories

by HOLLYWOODxBANGBANG   Mar 23, 2006


The memories flow through my aching mind
All of the good times run through my head
My brain is overflowed with our arguments
Every day all I can think about is how I went wrong
All the blame hangs over my throbbing mind
The excruciating headaches that no pills can cure
I take the Tylenols, and drown in the whiskey
But all the while my heart pounds with thoughts of you
The regrets run through my veins with every beat of my heart
The fanatical laugh of those in the distant
Faces fading with the sun burnt out in time
Captured behind a calloused hand for eternity
My heart lost in a jewelry box for years
Worn around your neck as a necklace
But you don't care what you do to it
You take it in the rain, drench it with crystal drops
You take it in the wind, dry it out with the blowing air
You take it in the snow, freeze it with the snowflakes
You take it to bed, toss and turn on it
And you take it to her, laughing at me behind my scabbed back.
The night is black, and the stars are burned out
Pinched by the demons horrid fingers
There is no one here beside me, no one to turn to
I cry within my loneliness and I lay within your lies
My wrists pulsing at the blade piercing my skin
As my blood drips out, hits the floor
And I lay here dieing on a floor encrusted with memories.
