pain calms my demons
blood sooths my soul
scars stain my skin
blades make me whole
music distracts me
pills take me away
nightmares are real
in darkness they stay
loving cold nights
stars filling the skies
trapped in my own hell
writing goodbyes
gun in my hand
pills at the ready
blades calm my soul
to keep my hand steady
fighting my demons
trying to stay
fighting alone
keeping them at bay
days weeks month years
Living lies hiding tears
broken promises fractured souls
i just can't do this anymore.
