Mental Breakdown

All alone to suffer the thoughts of the voices that hate me

judging all the memories

never letting go of the details of the tragedies

I never stopped them  

 

The tragedy is the failure to be brave

the failure to let go of fear

to recognize I may have a future

but a part of it is gone

Wave goodbye to the one who cared

another voice has control

heartless and cold

as if to be fearless and bold

 

No longer a stranger to chasing desire

impurity embraces the light

feel the warmth of her flesh

indulge in the lust of tonight

 

A cold exterior dances with a heart of cold fire

numb to feeling inside, but desires too much

tear down the walls and come closer

To ending the feeling that is cold to the touch

 

Thoughts are my silent rage

with a blackened heart and a love as blue as my eyes

reflecting on the moments that mirror the person I see

I am merely disguised as the person I never wanted to be

 

The beauty of pain

below all of the flesh

to cause the heart to ache

and the mind to worry

 

Weakened by doing nothing at all

comfort in apathetic failure

with the passion that died and silence called

to be unbreakable after my last word
