Hemorrhaging From the Heart
It's finally burst open,
Stabbed by despair,
Live or die,
You surely don't care...
What's the use?
What have I achieved?
Is there something?
Or am I just self-deceived?
These feelings wash over one,
Just like a wave,
Unstoppable by anything,
It's oblivion you crave
Sleep, death, drugs...
You will try anything
If it shrugs...
This God-awful pain...
It just goes on and on,
Like an endless rain
On the heart such strain...
Till it's bursting time
And peace finally comes
And the mind separates
From what was once known
As "reality"
Now you are somewhere else
You don't know where
But there's no one to ask
No one to share
You're floating in a vacuum
A void...
Still alone,
And quite annoyed!!
ha ha, gotch'ya?
