Description
I take food like it's my medicine
Coffee like my drug
Advil like a healthy meal
And blankets like a hug

My soul it rusts
And rots and raves
Consuming itself
Emotions its slaves

Hate is a hollow word
Stuffed with petty notions
Four letters that make
Victims drown in tear filled oceans

I sleep with two eyes open
You toss and turn all night
But you still talk and promise
Shying away from a futile fight

Sick of apologies
Sorry is nothing but a word
But better one said
Than left unheard

Although you may not hear it
It might not make a sound
But only to your ears
An apology hung and drowned

A word that's oh so bloody
One that's never cleaned
Bloody from being beaten
By those who interveined

Empty chatter
Accidental mistakes
Being able to tell
Reals from fakes

White pencil on paper
Is as visible as truth in the air
But don't cry over words
Because, darling, life isn't fair

Yet it's not about looking
Someone is the eye
And saying with a bitten tongue
"I'm the good guy"

It's about looking in the mirror
And lying to yourself
With every secret kept
Cowering behind a shelf
