Pathetic.
Fragile heart
Crystal bones
Drowning in madness
Alone
Stinging blue empty
Feeling, Nothing
Rip through flesh
and ribcage, Something
Is always there to stop it
Steady shaking hands
Make it all better
Glass turns to sand
Please dont tell me
It's too late
I dont remember writing this
I dont know what you'll say
Hands bleed
Scarlet ink you'll see
Miles of shattered concrete
Smother every scream
If I was never
Meant to live
Then why dont I
Take care of this?
Tired of feeling,
Being alone
I'll try for a reason
to find my way home
Praying for someone
To find
End
My pathetic Life
The poison takes me in
The poison remembers
Just how to make me feel
Like I never knew her
Eyes roll back
Deep Sleep overcomes
Everything I am
The monster i've become
"oh my son,
Why have you strayed so far?"
Burning my flesh
Swimming Through tar
My demons take me
Hold me to their chest
Claims me for empty
I wake coated in sweat
Fragile heart
Crystal bones
Drowning in madness
I am alone.
