Depression At It's Finest

Your own soundtrack
white noise in my ears
in my years

Pictures in scars, maybe a 
lightning strike, an
x to mark the spot
anything to take away the 
pain the
waiting

Anything to distract from the
Teardrops drizzling down a windowpane and
a deep breath feels like a
pain to your chest your
heart and
I've had enough of those

Flesh wounds to the soul caused by
little boys who whisper
pretty words that sound
sounded 
like fulfillment.

Ferris wheels break,
Carousel rides never 
last.
a wasted quarter,
Just a wasted quarter of me.

The promise of rain
is a 
broken one.
