Exit

It’s finally the day to come, blood mixing in. Flows like a river through oceans of sin. Long past the point where the numbness was new. Long past believing that anything’s true. Steel against flint, only flash in this night. Desperate to see but it only ignites, the gasoline soaked twisted rags in my soul. No way to stop it and nowhere to go. You can only get up til the falls break your bones. Can only lose so much before you’re alone. You can only give so much and once it’s all gone… you paint on a smile and pretend to go on.
