The Reckoning

The Reckoning And.. I've been drinking more and eating less. With only your picture here, watching me, your cat eyes perched, I have become, well,simply put, quite a mess. With only the rhythmic beats of the clock to break my silent thought, my breath varies, the dark deepens. and naturally, I blame myself. Lost inside, locked away, Set me Free! Close my eyes, Count to five, You'll disappear this time. I could tell myself a thousand times, perhaps tonight? Open, and then.. But Why? Do you care? Are you there? Are you listening? Stuck in a corner, in a pit, smashing my head against the wall, Again, and again. You're nothing more then a snake, and I've been bit, with your venom stuck within. Your cold heart, at fault, bad blood, angry soul. Why cant you just let it go? Cling to what I know, hold myself again. Look around, Am I sure I'm all alone. I know it can be all right, if I just wait it out yeah,try to rest. Stare down the inanimate objects, that line the shadowed rays, face my demons down, Come full circle, leave this insane maze!
