needles thread with strands of time
Sew close my eyes and make me blind
Now the past is all I know
Memories from years ago
Inside me a torn and bloody mess
Pools in my heart and fuels regret
You were my soul and sanity
The only angel given to me
But death is cruel and unforgiving
Stealing my only reason for living
Now I see through devil eyes
Smiles of deceit and loss and lies
Poison drips down my face
They call it tears, I call it waste
Acid spilling from my tongue
They call it cruel, I call it love
Decomposing inside and out
They thrive on hope, I thrive on doubt
Now they’re telling me to scream
But I can barely make a sound
Just a whisper, maybe less
To ask of a love I never found
What shows beauty, shows distaste
Blinded, wounded, left to drain
Feel the hope wear away
Replacing sanity with more pain
Never was the type with strength
Meaning never held its place
Weakened muscles, thinning flesh
All the reasons have been replaced
