It's one of those nights,
when I'm alone in the dark.
I feel so weak,
what's going on?
(I thought I was okay,
that I was strong.)
I don't understand,
nothing's wrong.
But I feel so empty,
(like when something so close-
is suddenly gone).
My hands are shaking,
my head is searching
(for what- I do not know)
but it keeps searching,
spinning, spinning- dizzy,
(so dizzy now).
Plz lie me down in a dark, quiet place
Let me slip away
and engulf this feeling
(this needed personal space).
It's good to be away,
away from it all...
The bright lights that cratique me
and make me feel so small,
That can make me feel so high
(so high are their expectations)
higher, higher
and then suddenly-
fall.
Crash. Boom.
(I've hit the bottom)
My tears taste so salty,
My sweet memories now rotten.
Time after time I return to this place,
(Where my mind can search
and my steps can retrace)
I let it all out,
I let it all rewind,
Can't retain all these thoughts,
Keep it all clammering to get out,
(Tangled up in my mind).
Here in this embracing darkness
I can only pray (that time will heal)
This broken heart (that you made your meal).
Hope you enjoyed it
and that you'll never forget
all that you're missing,
what you threw away,
maybe you'll realize it one day...
That the face you see each morning
(as you awake)
The feeling that stays with you
(that you cannot shake)
The voice ringing in your mind
(hissing like a snake)
is (yes) weak-as-can-be...
lil' ol' me.
