This is an inner cold. Bone deep and freezing blood.
Sick again but not alone.
Misery loves company, eh?
When its there in front of you there is no control
Morpheus guides your thoughts
And sets his bitter snares.
Then the pain is gone, the worries are gone,
Somewhere a needle pierces the moon
And you know it will be back.
And you know it will be worse.
You’ll regret it in the end.
But you do it anyway.
Now I’m filled
With an inner-cold emptiness
Stretching miles of black ice darkness
And in the North
Night stays awake every day.
Alone & clean
With no direction
No sense, no love, no fix, no meaning.
I miss the days we had no cares,
Walked around town
Strung out at 6am
Watching the ghostly sun
Rise up through pale fog.
Vacant stare as thoughts flee.
Ghosts hover over the top of the pond
Dancing like sparks in the corner of my eyes then gone.
Every time I try to make something beautiful
It ends up a horrible, broken mess.
That’s all I’ve known, so
I guess broken messes can be beautiful too.
