So this is how it's gonna go
I'll be drinking alone
fall asleep in my street clothes
my brain and my heart need a rest so it's on to my liver
just like last night
and when I wake up
I will walk straight back into the heartbreak
I can't even talk to you
without having to process more bad news
So what can I do?
I must succumb
to the lure of whatever makes me feel numb
My fingers bruised from
biting so hard just to try to distract from the pain in my heart
as I try to hold onto hope, but the edges are sharp
-
When I look at this destruction
it's difficult to function
so this is how I deal
Prayers will never work
and everyone's sympathy makes it worse
I don't want to feel
-
I drench my depression in a wave of potent recklessness
and attempt to fool myself into thinking that I don't care about any of this
but it pervades my mind and it's impossible to find anything resembling a bright side
At your insistence I have gripped with all my strength
And each time I just end up getting cut
before it loses all its worth
How many times can we recycle love?
