Music, it seems,
Is the only thing
Able to heal
The way I feel.
I'm unafraid
To leave this place.
For, smiles
Are like dials.
All it takes
Is one mistake
To spin a smile down,
And bleed into a frown.
For, I’m so tired of bleeding—
Tired of smiles fleeting.
So, I guess,
Before today proves another mess,
I’ll close my eyes,
Keeping my mind tied,
Until I wake—
If I ever wake.
