Rabbit Hole
And I’ve stepped backwards again
Slipped back into the rabbit hole
Down into a swirling abyss of nothingness
I’ve tried to fight my way out of the dark
But the blackness overwhelms
Consuming me piece by piece
Bit by bit
Until all that I’m left with is rot
Eating me up from within
Liar
After All
I used to look back
Because those were brighter days
But that was before I sat myself down inside the chaos
Before I let myself be absorbed into the darkness that surrounded me
My heart isn’t made up of brighter days
After all
It’s made up of hostility and hatred
Shattered hopes and dying dreams
It’s as dark as the day when the sun finally burns out
I’m burning out
Spinning in circles only fans the flames
I’m so full of fury
That it drips off my brow like sweat
Fueling the anger that runs hot beneath my skin
Filling these empty voids with memories like tinder
As I set fire to all the good I’ve kept within
My heart isn’t made for brighter days
After all
Not with all the darkness that it’s soaked in
I feel it
The weight
Crushing my ribs
Chest cracks
Collapsing my lungs
Swallowing blood
Choking it down
Heart breaks
Ice cold hollow
Empty space
Under the weight
I am
I am but flesh
I am but flesh
Filled to the brim with anxieties
Suffocated by my insecurities
Ripped apart by personal tragedies
Stitched back together with memories
No Avail
Trying to swallow my own madness
But this insanity creeps up slowly
Clawing first at my lungs so I can’t breathe
Making its way through the lump in my chest
Tearing open my throat as all of my anger spills out
Dripping pain and sorrow onto my hands as I try to hold myself together
To no avail
lights out
There is no light when the love’s gone
There are no better days or open doors
It’s like walking through fields of water overflowing
Each step you slip deeper
Every minute brings you closer to the edge
An abyss awaits to suck you in and bring you down
It’s there to remind you of everything you’ve loved and lost
To convince you that nothing matters because all of the shit that used to, left you behind
Waiting in the distance hoping to watch you cave in
Under the weight of it all
To drown in the very tears that held memories as they slid down your cheek
It’s dark when the light is off
And cold when the love runs out
