i once saw things that weren't there,
but so apparent to you.
laid my belly on cool ground,
while ignoring the view.
a bruise was a bruise,
didn't care how it formed,
i laid listlessly in tact,
while my floor was destroyed.
i kept calm when i wasn't,
saved my voice for closed walls,
i walked miles through my thoughts,
without walking at all.
i wrote words with such meaning,
with my meaningless drink.
the higher the number,
the deeper i sank.
carved regrets in my arm,
that i once couldn't say,
turned my days to bad nights,
just to keep things the same.
i drove drunk late at night,
just to feel like a ghost.
never felt so alone,
as i crawled my way home.
