Banging My Head

How many times 
will I try to remember 
something to cling to 
to keep me together. 
How many times 
will I hold on to nothing 
waiting for something 
to fall into my hands. 
How many times 
am I banging my head 
hanging on by a thread 
till I wished I was dead. 
How many times 
will I stare at this paper 
searching for words 
to create an escape. 
How many times 
will I try to erase 
all my fears with the drink 
that I cant stand the taste of. 
And how many times 
will I whisper your name 
to remember the pain 
and the tears that stained 
your face.
