Dark

[beanpoophead]

Today just feels cold
alone in the dark
fading fast
the sunlight diminishes
and im still here
awake, coherent
alive inside
on the outside withering
falling into darkness
but not the one
that once held me
awake

hell was ok
when it was frozen over
walking on thin ice
watching it turn to cracks
unable to move
breathing ice
falling in, again and again
nothing changes
in this nowhere place
with my nowhere dreams
cold as ice
and awake as fuck

the tallest tree
is all i see
through my window pain
creeping in the dark
coming from the light
everything so still
so motionless
giving me back what i had
before it all came down
and took away
everything i took
for granted from you

perhaps it was always like this
my eyes were closed
i wouldn’t see
all the pain surrounding me
perspective
a new one, i suppose
helping me to be
what you wanted
cos that’s all it is
your hope and your dream
without me
included in the plans
that you made
so eloquently

darkness falls
the sun disappears
into the dusk
and out of the dirt
keeping me here
to be by myself
while you go off
with all of your big plans
ignoring the dark
like you always do
and im used
to being used
and that’s ok
