Analysis of /chronic dreams/
the clock is running out,
see the hands as they twirl
her eyesight is going blind,
Praying to be sent to the gallows
any words fall on deaf ears
her thoughts belongs behind
a jail cell
He’s in her dreams,
screwing with her head
every night fall, even when she’s awake
she cant anymore,
is this what it feels like to be
the embodiment of a corpse?
Friends have found; Others.
better than her-
best friends pass by,
her Shooting stars
A scrap of metal her only friend.
stab in her heart, its scabby and infected,
Fear grasps her throat
Its a Murderer in the night
today she wants to drown herself in kerosene.
wishes to see the faces of those she used to love
way back when
Waving a pallid and wan Goodbye,
Did they even care-?
was it just another façade--?
she smiles, and nods-
what courage left, failing her
She’s bored and wide awake
too restless for others concern
filthy and gritty
Naked and Bare.
wears her heart on her sleeve
Every night she’s sick,
dry heaves until Stomach is content,
with no contents in it.
wakes up laughing, after seeing his face
again and again.
While she slams her head into a
Shaking like a earthquake
she’s fell so hard,
maybe she’ll die form it.
There’s no-one home today,
neither happy or sad,
she’s breaking down into particles of dust;
being taken away by the wind
she’s so damaged already,
there is something screaming in her ears;
blood on her fingertips.
dripping between the cracks of,
Sanity and Reality.
So, sitting in this empty room again,
Feeling gutted and raw.
Drinking clean vodka again
straight up, from the bottle.
Its on the floor.
but she’s got a feeling this is the End.
