Bed of Nails

It's like walking on eggshells
With you around
You're never there to see me smile
Only to frown

I'm sleeping on something sharp tonight
Gravity's prevailed
You caught me without sanity
The teenager: derailed

A bed of nails is sympathy
For words I could not speak
The doors slides slowly open
Exhaling a creak

My head spins as you put
Pressure onto me
The spikes punch through
And set my soul free

It was like sleping on a bed of nails
When you came home
You weeded through my loneliness
Just like a fine-toothed comb

The nailbed that I slept on
Always was my friend
Now you've killed me with it
And it's taken time to mend
