Cat and Mouse

I used to laugh every day, Now sadness takes those laughs away. I used to hope that soon one day, You would say you loved me. I used to cry myself to sleep, But now I just sit up and weep, I feel the darkness start to creep, And let it take me into its arms. I used to hate the way I was, I realize that’s who I’ve become, And the sickening thought puts me on the run, From the truth, the way, my life, my death. I can’t ever seem to catch my breath, From running from the endless death, I face every day and now I’m blessed, Because it finally caught me. And now these chains, they hold me down, I look and search for my way out, But don’t you know that now I’m trapped, In this place, that’s cold and black.
