I lay here rotting Between sheets and shame Unable to move Unable to cry Only the sinking of my teeth into fabric To muffle my screams For it is too late to be in need I lay here I lie here And honestly I'll die here Yet even doing that Would still make me a chore So I stay within the blanketing darkness Telling myself it will be fine When we know all I am doing Is waiting out the clock

Wasting Time
I lay here rotting Between sheets and shame Unable to move Unable to cry Only the sinking of my teeth into fabric To muffle my screams For it is too late to be in need I lay here I lie here And honestly I'll die here Yet even doing that Would still make me a chore So I stay within the blanketing darkness Telling myself it will be fine When we know all I am doing Is waiting out the clock
