Untitled #26
By rwb35
So now that my resolve is spent
I'm staring again into the endless sea
Weeping again at the sight of dawn
As this thousand-yard stare is killing me
Shadows beckon me to hide
Before the sunrise comes and burns
And chars away what feelings are left inside
Mem'ries of what was that I forever yearn
I'm still trying to make sense of it all
So now that I'm wasting my life
Throwing away futures on tomorrows gone too soon
Belief in forever is starting to fade
Betrayed by myself and sentenced to this empty room
Hearing the clock tick and tick away
As the voices in my head raise to a din
Spinning into another dreary day
Stopping while I'm holding everything in
Before I open my mouth and scream and scream again
So now that I am broken on this floor
Without enough strength to raise my head
Not even enough to give you a ghost of a smile
Naked and bleeding and left for dead
Time to put this mess of excuses that I've become
Away and away for another day
Time to drag myself to bed, to mull over what I've done
Mantras to keep the nightmares at bay
And all the things I never let myself say.

You made my heart briefly ache, a tiresome weary mind looking for refuge to weather the storm with your "ghost of a smile." I no longer focus my train of thought on those inner demons because they sucked the very life from the core of my body. I hated tossing and turning all night in bed, never resting, only to wake up drained to face it all over again. The never ending cycle, it'll either make you or brake you. Great piece! -Bows

You convey your anguish well. The rhythm is breathtakingly beautiful - this flows so incredibly well.
Nicely done.
