Echoing Lies

The floodgates have broken free. I am not who I was.

With darkness and rage spilling forth, I've forgotten how to love.

 

Every emotion feels wrong. As if they don't belong to my heart.

I feel a monster rising within. And it means to split me apart.

 

Calm and serene. That was always my goal.

But they drift farther away, as I become more unwhole.

 

Every little spark ignites into a roaring flame.

How do I put it out? Will I ever be the same?

 

People have become objects to me. Even most of my friends.

And I just use and abuse them. I wish I could see an end.

 

"I don't like her", "I can get over you", echo in my mind.

I pretend it's untrue... And I wish I could understand why.

 

Forever gone, the lights have left my eyes. I feel I have died.

And the feeling grows stronger with every new echoing lie.
