Mascara stained cheeks bleed red
Sting of fingers across flesh And I go numb.
Old scars come to surface under fluorescent light
Use them as a map to find your own way out
While my heart pours out in bed
Muffled sobs escape.
Retreat and beg for mercy.
Liquor fueled this fight
And love propels it
As tarnished souls exchange blows
Love is war.
A fair fight.
I'm back at the beginning
Starting over more achy than ever
My will is tired
And my spirit has left me now.
Sleeping babes. be kind. She knows not what she does.
The world has been cruel And her teachers unjust.
                                                       The tears welcome her.
                                                               Your scent on the blankets
                                              It comforts her.

She left her soul behind as she watched the last sight of hope walk into the sunrise.

Eyes close drifting to the only peace to be found.
Awaken to the disappearance and all is mended.
"The downside is reality."
God holds no weight in this world,
And they always finish more tired than they began.
