I Only Cry

anguished
|
Like a candle of wax, I am melting away.
My disfigurement I can see in my eyes.
A mangled soul lurks within me,
And theres not a day that it doesnt cry.
Blood pumps through these twisted veins
Though I often feel dead to the world.
I walk through days of void and absence.
Into an abyss of anguish, I was hurled.
This endless darkness I have come to love
Memories flow so freely in black
Our smiles together side by side
Simply make me want you back
Broken glass cuts through my foggy dreams
And metal shards slice through my soul
I see you lying too still for life
And I am spiraling out of control.
I open my eyes to my lightless room,
To tears flooding my grimaced face.
I want out, Im breaking down
I will never make it at this pace.
So night after night I lie awake
Sleep wont save me from me.
An internal battle of the heart and mind
Asks, To be or not to be?
Not to be would be so easy
To be, can I bear the pain?
Where would I be without these thoughts?
Better off or just the same?
Weakness engulfs my every attempt
To breathe life back into my own.
Its not death that I fear the most
Im so afraid that you felt alone.
A cousins blood with a brothers love
That brightened so many of my days.
I cling to pictures with shaking hands
And watch the rise of the suns first rays.
Sleep no longer comes to this mind
And it is just nowhere to be found.
I want to picture every shared moment.
I have to remember every sound.
Where are you and what are you doing?
I miss you like I cant explain.
My fingers push this ballpoint pen
But the words wont ease my pain.
Is there a heaven? Have you talked to God?
I just dont believe anymore
My heart is too heavy with no help in sight.
So what is there to pray for?
But if I am wrong, please let me know
Give me a sign that I cannot deny
Because rainbows occur but so do wrecks.
And I only continue to cry.
