This Is Pain

I can feel the slow sleep sitting In a window made for slitting Lullabys that have no morals Tales of lies that seem so formal Snow flakes falling on the glass wall Melt before they can live at all. Toxic waves of rude depression Desperate days, & unjust opression Is this pain? That burrows in my heart? Am I just insane? Or am I falling apart? Soft hysteria lives in my head Sweetly whispers words for the dead Trying to tell me it's not over All I need is angry closure. She just wants you when you're lonely. You can never be her one & only. Everytime you shed tears for her, Her slender finger grasp just grows tighter. Is this pain? That burrows in my heart? Am I just insane? Or am I falling apart? You are not enough woe her. You can not make her forget. You are not enough to love her. She'll play you like a broken record again. And Again. Is this pain? That burrows in my heart? Am I just insane? Or am I falling apart? This is pain, that blackens my heart. This is pain that takes my whole world apart.
