Swallow

I swallow hard the bitter tastes of your lips I choke down your shards of hard lies, External stains I wonder why I let you into my heart There is a wall you build with… Thick ramparts and razor wire You crush my dreams n schemes My life’s desires I swallow my pride My life I choke on the ashes and soot I languish in this selfish hell I conspire against the cosmic forces that be I want to drown in the deepest well I swallow hard the bitter visions of your eyes I stand in the spotlight for all to see A broken human of greatness humility I choke down your shards of hardest fiction, Eternity stains me, Feeling it drain away leaving only Skeletal remains… I wonder why I let you into my world, My realms you destroyed my reality. I sink to the ground Knowing the coming deluge wanting to drown I choke on your shards of hard lies, I am an eternal stain I lie awake dream Nightmares insane
