Creek in the sheets

My heart begins to sink As my skin begins to quiver I've been swept to the brink By regrets flowing like a river So what am I to think As the cold world let's me shiver Stains mark like ink Where pain became a fissure There's no one else to blame As my blood begins to simmer And against this waking shame No nightmare could be so bitter So I fold up the remains Of a story I can't consider My hallowed soul can't bare What can't be washed away Because even in deepest prayer There's words I just can't say So if I'll never clear the air Then I know I just can't stay stay The bed is wet My heart's aflame I cannot forget What time erased Memories are set And the feelings won't drain So I'll make a bet Against the rain One last cigarette And I'll be unchained
