I'm Doing Alright

Tangled in a tapestry

of mixed emotions.

Lost in dizzy dreams.

When the notion arises

to scream... I do so.

Inside my unheard cries
ring like bells, but as far
as anyone else can tell...
I'm doing alright.




I wear it well you know,
this facade of lies.
But if you look closely,
really close you might just
see these tear stains
in the corners of my eyes.




Because I do cry, I cry at
night time when no one is around.
I have days when I wish
the ground would open up
and swallow me whole.


(in fact everyday)




Inside my unheard cries
ring like bells, but as far
as anyone else can tell...
I'm doing alright.

In Her Eyes

Those quiet times when I look at her,
I see years of regret, she'd love to forget.
I can tell her insides are drenched with pain.
One day she'll explain the reason for
the blank look in her eyes... Tell me the story
behind those black tears that she cries.
When that day comes, I'll be there to mend
the pieces of her broken heart.
If that day never comes I'll always be her glue
and do those things I always do that
stop her falling apart at the seams.

Crumbling

Heart like a rock crumbles,

as tormented blood crashes

hard and repeatedly...

Forming a new me, a different me

a battered bruised me.

A sea of regret overflows,

and I'm left drowning,

always drowning in pity and pain.

Eyes swell up like a cloud

producing more tears.

The whole process begins again.

Tears Will Fall

As I wander through
dingy blood flowing hallways,
approaching a deflated heart.
Organs dangle free,
festering on each side of me.
A liver corroding,
lungs black with smoke.
I Hear echos of pain
alive in the fleshy walls.
I'm nearly there now,
heartache is calling me.
I'll open it up and peer inside
with my key of bad luck.
Then those tears will sadly fall.
