Every Step
Took these pills to end this bleeding,
But the lies come out and they're so deceiving.
The walls close in as I lie still,
This addiction has me spellbound with an element of skill.
I can't continue breathing without another to follow,
These walls are closing in as the world becomes hollow.
I watch my back with every step I take,
I'm coming undone with every move I make.
I'm waiting for my sanity to return,
But it isn't coming back, and I should have learned.
I know, as I've felt, experienced, and seen.
I reminisce on the days that were clean.
Virtue
Mind cracks.
Fragile as the ground beneath it.
These feelings will repair it,
But the wrong ones will destroy it.
The shadow on the wall follows the leader,
As if it will never fade away.
Darkness closes in.
You can't see shadows in the dark.
You can't find black holes, either,
So they just stop spinning.
The light serenades on the wall,
The leader is gone,
But the shadow is still there.
I guess patience wasn't the leader's virtue.
The first seems a bit unfinished but I'm done for now.
Except, I changed one word of the second one.
It seemed to fit better.
