The Echos of Rain

The Echos of Rain'''
Smiling in the light is a friendly face
Where did they go 
when I was bleeding 
on the floor alone 
with rope hanging in a closet like despair
slowly swaying 
with voices screaming
no one cares
The 
pendulum in my heart 
is crying 
betrayal tattooing my body
with scars of abandonment
as
I am
waiting for death
with a rose held tightly 
in my hand
dripping blood
thorns tearing my flesh
with these thoughts inside my head
I am amiss.....
Does the broken heart truly heal
or
does it mend by another 
a way to replace the pain 
like 
calls from the dead
are
eerie echos in a graveyard of unrest
I've lived with so much tragedy 
years fading away
with 
every time 
I look in the mirror 
I see myself 
this way
The clock ticks....
Tormented by the past I cant seem to get away
the night bleeds for me
as 
I slowly go insane
dreaming of a place that is fair
feeling alone when I am here
waiting for the rain
where are my friends
It's like they disappeared
Yet 
I am still here....
