Broken Nails

Broken Nails By Kevin Robey August 16, 2013 Regret consuming my everyday thoughts Like broken nails instead of chalk Grinding on the board they never speak The silence is screaming every night in my sleep I can’t hold back the tears anymore Trying to recall the way I was before Replaying every mistake I ever made The fire burns my heart each and every day I won’t make you listen to me anymore I failed every time that I promised you more This is only the beginning of the fall Somewhere along the line I missed the point of it all My mind is lost, there’s no way out of this hell The point where I reach the bottom of the well I’m entirely relieved, never could believe The night would grab my hand if I tried to leave It’s a mesmerizing scene played on constant repeat Daylight cutting the night as I walk on this street To say this is the end would be a foolish mistake Just another day where my mind is at stake I’m broken like these buildings that line this lonely road My mind is going blind cause all these answers are in code No direction, no light, I feel my way through the dark Knowing light will come the day I find the missing spark
