Falling Apart

Like tar you slowly weep

By the heat of the day

Cooking under pressure

Trying your might to hold it all together

The toxins fill and fill

Rising to the surface ready to burst

Bubbles forming around the edges

Praying that you can make it

Driving to the destination where the sun touches the ground

Faster and faster you run

Wishing the pain and suffering will just go away

POP

You lose your cool

Stuck, Trapped

Nowhere to go

Wondering where this life will go

What step to take

You lose the hope that kept you sane

The demons creep

All turns to black as the ooze still flows

Wondering when it will just stop

Crippled, insane

You cry for days with no tears to show but the reflection of a moonless night

Tired and beaten down

You lose the sight

Just like a tattoo as it leaves its mark

Imprinted on the soul just like a scar

That won't go away

The scab slowly peels

Yearning screams the heart hoping for a miracle

Step by step you begin to stand

Dealing the cards that you have in your hand

To make a new life with all that you have

Learning to cherish the little things

That don't make you sad

Anymore
