Oozing, creeping; vile mess,
Rises from my sinking chest,
And I am not the man I seem to be.
The mask I've donned upon me,
Now lies twitching on the floor,
And there you are knocking at my door.
Truth behind my empty eyes,
Cuts out your tongue as I cry,
Please save me, I can not bear this pain.
Yes,
I see it in your granite gaze,
You can not bear to see this pain,
My hollow hopes drop on the floor,
As you cower back towards the door.
Have you condemned me now?
Alone at home my heavy bones,
Splinter as I touch the phone.
The dial tone mocks my lonesome need for,
Communication.
