Thoughts consume me
Swallowed whole
Nothing but taunts
Teasing
And hurtful words
The worst part is
They come from me
I'm my own worst enemy

Stagnant
Like the river of tears
That flow so gently
Like your voice when I'm comforted
That's where I'm at
An unfair stalemate
Still afloat
With hope
That one day we'll swim.

Eyes tell a deeper story
The pain of the past
The horror of the present
The fear of the future
They show the sleepless nights
And the sleep filled days
They are a host to a million tears
Shredded for the broken
Because that's all we are
Broken

Everyday is pain
The struggle
Of living
Tear filled eyes
Dry throat
No point in crying-
Who's listening anyway

Shattered
Broken
Bent
Heavy eyes
Heavy heart
Nothing beneath it all
Nothing on the outside
Empty

You looked at me with hungry eyes
I looked at you wanting to give everything-
Mind
Body
Soul
Distasteful touches
Take but never give
Everything lost
Nothing gained

There's a funny thing about sadness
The way it surrounds you so you feel whole
Nothing else is let in
Except the sorrow and the pain
You can see the happiness
But never feel it
Want it
But not have it
There's a funny thing about sadness
How you become so familiar with it you can't feel anything else.
