Winter’s cold consumes my body.
I lie awake, pitch black,
Plagued by my thoughts.
Apathetic to my surroundings
Clinging to what little life I have left.
(Awaiting sleep)
Sinking in defeat.
Soaked in regret.
I wallow in my own failure.
But here I am, bled dry of dignity,
The lowest point I have seen,
Kick the chair beneath my feet,
And hang my head (hang my head)
Keep your sympathy,
This grief suits me well.
I wouldn’t have it any other way.
Overwhelmed, backed into a corner.
This is my own doing.
Selfish, I am, to consider this a solution
But I’m not capable of seeing this glass half full.
For now I’m just biding my time.
While I’m falling deeper into discontent.
This world will forget me
Before the lights go out.
This solemn island.
Feet firmly planted.
Photos of you and I,
Just hazy images,
Of rusted memories.
This isn’t how,
We pictured ourselves.
The future seems desolate
Common ground desolved
On the cusp of the end
Speaking only in past tense.
Speaking only in past tense.
Forever is just a word we use to put ourselves at ease.
Getting harder to cleanse old wounds
Solace in silence, my closest companion
Ignite your remains, bury them in anguish.
In spite of your anger,
I won’t bear the weight of this loss.
