Invisible
But clear as day
So many words I want to say
Colors paint my mind
But I speak in black and white
we had that thing
no one can quite
put into words
but they could tell
when we looked at each other
when we laughed together
what we had was intangible
and when I lost you,
I lost myself
and I'm still trying to find out
where I went
I take these little pills
I laugh and smile
And don't sleep all the time anymore
But they don't bring you back
And there's no pill for heartbreak
We're all broken in some form
Yet we strive to be perfect
And pretend to be fixed.
What would the world be like
If we were all real about our brokenness?
Maybe we wouldn't
Feel so alone
Maybe, we'd all be a little
Less broken
Feel the bite of silver against your skin
You've welcomed back the steel again
Relapse
feel the sting of alcohol down your throat
Forget your pain as you begin to float
Relapse
You tried to run for so long
But you couldn't stay so strong
Relapse
I have to remind myself
Of all the times
You and your religion
Made me feel like ****
Not of all of the random hand kisses
And songs that made my soul happy
blow smoke off your lips
Feel the whiskey burn your throat
They taste like guilt

— The End —
