Another Day

Another day gone by
Another space I've wasted. 
Dreaming of blood. 
I'm swimming in it. 
New lines to be drawn. 
More promises that will be broken. 
For another thing I have had 
To leave unspoken. 
My heart's a trap. 
For those unwelcome. 
So beware, you could get stuck. 
I've drowned myself in pain. 
No longer a hope for life. 
I've been dead for so long 
What's another night. 
Cause I gave up this fight. 
Too weak to ever be strong. 
And that's why I long 
For my own serving of peace. 
Which I only get from 
Each line that is drawn.

I can understand this emotional turmoil. Don't give up the fight, just keep giving it words and writing about it. You're never alone. Write on Michelle :)
