These frightening times,
These bad thoughts of mine
I've had a few, because of you.

The late night drinking
And over active thinking,
I've had to do, because of you.

The compulsive lying,
And discreetly crying,
I feel like a fool, because of you.

I've given up eating,
And sleeping and breathing,
Because I'm cruel,

*And it was all because of you.

Going to college,
Trying hard to hold back tears
I can't face today.

I never knew that friendships would become battles,
How close connections can blow up in your face,
Leaving your body and your soul scarred and maimed.
Memories are mines buried deep beneath the surface of your brain,
Exploding when an emotion treads heavily upon it,
Painful,
Upsetting,
Numbing.

It seems that they can be destroyed just as quickly as they are built,
As each brick is stacked
Another two are torn down.

There are dark sides to friendship,
They convey their kindness and trust
But beneath the surface there are tremors
Growing into earthquakes,
Transformed into chaos.

I feel trapped under the rubble they have thrown on me,
**And they have left me to die.

I am lost at sea
      Somebody come and find me
                                            Please
                                                before
                                                     I drown

You left me standing on the corner,
Waiting for you to rescue me,
I'm standing in the pouring rain,
Left to be soaked with the thought of you
Driving further and further away
Until finally you are but a distant memory.

I saw a child once,
Stood at the edge of his dreams,
Hoping to reach it.

Catching my breath
I've been running from my fears again,
Endlessly sprinting from worries that often outrun me,
Every muscle in my body screaming at me to surrender,
My lungs are an inferno that plead for oxygen,
My head is telling me to stop and turn around,

But my heart is telling me to keep going

I am terrified, petrified, frightened,
I cannot face the growing nightmare
behind those closed doors in the far corners
Of my mind
The skeletons in my closet are waking up,
They're stretching out their legs,
Voices erupting from their hollow chests,
Screams
Laughter
Profanity

My dreams have intertwined with thoughts of decay,
Madness,
Chaos,
Darkness,
All swirling around like a raging tornado,
Threatening to destroy the city of hope
I have so willingly constructed to feel safe,

*But now I am left with the destruction and debris of my actions
