Ali Angel Poet I do not know?

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!
