Cat and Mouse
I used to laugh every day,
Now sadness takes those laughs away.
I used to hope that soon one day,
You would say you loved me.
I used to cry myself to sleep,
But now I just sit up and weep,
I feel the darkness start to creep,
And let it take me into its arms.
I used to hate the way I was,
I realize that’s who I’ve become,
And the sickening thought puts me on the run,
From the truth, the way, my life, my death.
I can’t ever seem to catch my breath,
From running from the endless death,
I face every day and now I’m blessed,
Because it finally caught me.
And now these chains, they hold me down,
I look and search for my way out,
But don’t you know that now I’m trapped,
In this place, that’s cold and black.
