10/10/10

My feet hurt from all the pressure
sinking through the concrete,
I feel the flames slowly wrapping up
my melting shriveling feet
just to catch up with my heart,

I pushed you away and then complained,
“I’m all alone, I’m going to die so lonely”

The cracks are beginning to show,
I’d appreciate if you pretended not to know,
The cracks are all on show,
I’d appreciate if you would just let me go.

My head is dull from all the stress
sinking through the dry dirt,
I feel the worms slowly passing through
my bleeding eardrums
on the way to my tired brain,

I pushed you away and I pushed it down,
I pushed myself away and I pushed it all down,

The cracks are beginning to show,
I’d appreciate if you pretended not to know,
The cracks are all on show,
I’d appreciate if you would just let me go.

My neck, my shoulders ache
from holding up my entire world
with these hands, these wrists’,
and my veins begin to split
and I hide the blood under my hands,
And I’m still living a double life,
There’s too much for two hands worth,
I’m covering it all with new lies.
