You are gone, and
I am in the arms of darkness once again...
All I feel is hurt, anger, and pain
And the unending tears...
She lights another cigarette
As the smoke fades...
I've spent years trying to pry myself out of this...
And still my coat hangs by the door...
You blanket me and refuse to leave
So rude and unwelcome...
No matter what you do
Mental illness is constant...
You clawed away at my masks
Layer after layer had been shed...
The lightening strikes, brightening the skies
As the rain pours heavily from my eyes...
To ask for some sympathy
I'm not a tragedy waiting for rescue...
Broken, empty, bruised and battered
Gone away has all that mattered...
Underneath,
The wrinkles of my skin...
Here it sits inside of me
Eating at my sanity...
