My Life

I tried to live with no lies in my life
but yet your still here
your still very much alive

I begged myself
just to let the pain slip
but its still here
just like the poison 
within my lips,

this toxic taste
put everything 
into its place
a fragmented glance
of hope, a chance
to just let it end
and let death win

but nothing I did 
could drop the thought from my mind
this truth has left me all but blind
my life is nothing more
then a broken soul,
with painful flesh and blood
it's like my life is a tragedy
and my tears become the flood
