Caliginous Abyss
how do i find myself when i’m lost in you
when my smile stemmed from your happiness
when my tears flooded like rivers at the thought of not being what you wanted
when my pleasure came from shivers and shakes of the earthquake that was you
tell me how do i find myself when i’m stuck in the depths of your eyes
how do i find myself when i’m covered by the smile i use to hide
how do i find myself while i’m convinced i’m not enough
when my love couldnt to make you stay
when my hugs and kisses got pushed away
when my sacrifices went unnoticed
when i gave all of me to you and you broke it
how do i find myself when i’m not dark enough
how do i find myself when i’m not skinny enough
how do i find myself when i’m not pretty enough
how do i find myself when the person i love made me feel i wasn’t enough
how do i find myself trapped in the abyss of the what if’s
how do i find myself when i’m lost in the never ending darkness of my mind
how do i find myself when i’m tired of looking
who will find me if it isn’t me
