Affliction

Affliction By Laura Dee Battle January 10, 2014 I slave away, Cause I got addictions to pay Don't care what they say in the static on display Go ahead and pray for my soul to once again, be whole Cause this dark salvation I stole is full of gaping holes Faithless promises to change my self-destructive ways If you were smarter than this, you would just stay away I'll rip you apart so I don't have to get too close I'll bury ashes of the memories that we chose The ones that used to speak when we were listening The times we still could hear the angels reasoning Instead our beckoning the dark in sleepless nights Gave way to strung-out arguments we once thought was our plight But you know it was always me for me, and you for you So we went our separate ways in lives we never knew How could I plan to be inside this empty hall of pain? Inject me with this poison; the blood inside my veins So won't you bleed me from this dying vessel of lies? Delusions i comprise to hide my willingness to die I wish this had a happy thought to shine on through the clouds But some days are just too grey for sunshine in the crowd
