Wave Goodbye Dear Lena

Photos
Dipped in wine
Tear drops
Emotional scares
Upon my face
The past stares right back
Into my broken windows
Baby boy
With teddy bear nightmares
Grown up man
Fighting his monsters
War of the depressed mind
I fought no real war
Other than my own dancing demons
Now each word and thought attacks me
My demise
My destitution
Stare at myself outside the broken door
Broken memories
Broken shelf
Broken wings and sins
Eating away
No will 
No hope
For the sun
To kiss my humble lips
As I wither away
Dear Lena

I can only do what I do best, wrap my arms around you from a distance, and hold you. We all fight our own wars, but we don't need to do it all alone <3
