Fire & Rain

It takes a toll on ur soul
When u, bury the only brother uve known
2 save face u gotta keep pushing on
When u knw that uve nvr been this alone
Now, u poppin pills just 2 close yo eyes
4 a moment of peace that seems so hard 2 recognize
And everybody keep asking if u ok or need some help
And all u really wanna do is have some time 4 urself
Maybe pray or curse God whatever gets shit of ur chest
Cuz now these pills & this liquor just making u more depressed
Cuz if it was up 2 u, u'd trade places wit his body
Cuz life is losing meaning all the more u try 2 fight it...

It takes a toll on ur psyche,
When everything uve known is slowly sliding
Everything u put ur pride in is sinking like posiden
And u have 2 muffle screams every time they turn off the lights
And ur life becomes a movie Wes Craven cldnt depict
And the spiral keeps on cycling down n2 this abyss
But u bottle it up until u have no control of lips
Cuz every time u get 2 talking u cry & crumble 2 bits
Or at least that's how it feels cuz u gotta keep ur composure
No one wants 2 hear the truth when they picture u as a soldier...

May The Lord have...mercy on my soul
Cuz I don't really knw wat my heart beats 4
Trapped inside this body where this blood runs cold
Look me in my eyes wat a side 2 behold
4give my slumber or the hatred that has guided me
Wit no remorse, par 4 the course, stay moving blindly
Misguided rage, I turn the page in hopes 2 find me
The casualties r only there 2 remind me

Wallow

Let the tears fall, And watch them as they drip, Let it all go, And slowly start to slip. Lose your control, And give up all your hope. Release your hold, And let go of the rope.

silent suffering

I tried to be strong. I tried to be secure. Not only for me,. But also for her. Trying so hard to be tough. But I'm just putting on an act. Nobody knows anything is wrong. It's courage that I lack.

Coping

I've not had it for a while, But that's my coping style. Random, spontaneous crashes. Where tears adorn my lashes. I may not cry at their death. Or at the funeral when they've left.

The Man Who Lost It All

His shoulders, heavy. His hands, numb. His words, unspoken. His expression, glum. His life, lifeless. His visions, blurred. His thoughts, empty. His speech, slurred. His bottle, full.

Not Knowing The Unknow

Losing the person you love is always the most pain you'll ever experience, Your life suddenly being turned into something it never was. The aching longing and loneliness in your empty chest.

Chris

She shook her head empathetically at me, her lips pursed in small frown. Her genuine words still rung in my ears, singeing my heart with every repetition. β€œIt’s been two years...” Two years.

Whispers

It's 2 am, and I'm a ghost Of what I used to be. A whisper of my former self, Calls out, meekly, to me. My blood is wine, and swear to god, My visions getting blurry.
