Thoughts Like Oil

Down in the depths of the hole, there's no sound but the beat of my heart

And my dark charred thoughts

That drip like black oil

That everything it touch's, it stains and soils

Thoughts of death and gruesome memories

From them there is no where to flee

So I lay in the bed curled into a tight ball

Just waiting to hit the bottom of the fall

There is no one to talk to, no one to call

No one knows how this inky darkness flows

How it consumes the soul and continues to grow

I'm imprisoned in theses bones, this skin

Is this how the end begins

I've prayed for love and light

But I've only been given glimpses of that site

Any happiness I have fought for is snatched away

In just a short few days

So now I pray

For death and a shortening of my years

To live a long agonize life is my fears

Not one month goes by that tragedy doesn't strike

It's like trying to get through life on a trike

You pedal really really hard but get no where

To tell the truth I just don't care

I want to become totally unaware
