Rampant thoughts
Sleepless nights
Trigger intent
Drunk again
Drown it out
No enjoyment
Harder and harder
Tell the world
Just words
Sympathetic
How pathetic
Apologetic
All poetic
My heart is prosthetic
Give me recipes for enough
Without an audience
Too many thoughts
Drown it out
Numb it all
No thoughts
No feelings
Higher and higher
Hide them away
Smile through it
I’m still a mess
Left with a crying disease
With haunting words
“Better off without you”
“Do something for once”
“I Don’t love you in that way anymore”
A need for perfection
No affection
Separation
Just a distraction
Give me recipes for happy
It’s hard on my own
Self destructive
Unproductive
I admit I am wrong
Drinking freedom from a bottle
To the tune of belong
