All these addictions
I hold like a trophy,
subside the pain.
That's why I continue
to feed them.
Hungry, though they are,
full just the same.
Why hope pumps through
tainted vains,
I have yet to discover.
Why tears flow
from desert like eyes,
remains a mystery.
Your words are dangerous,
and you seem to think
they bandage the open wounds.
That, with your actions,
only pour salt.
With each new venomous
excuse I grow a little more weak.
My heart breaks a little more
and my thoughts to just walk away surface.
Once again I realize,
I should have disappeared
when I had the chance.
Something keeps me
wrapped around your finger,
While you remain right
at my finger-tips.
Yet, I'm reaching for something
I'm not sure exists.
My heart and my hand
are both exhausted.
At any moment I may give up.
Realeasing my faith,
that in time I may grasp
what I'm reaching for.
I keep in mind that everyone
tells me I've been shown nothing
that is worth waiting for.
But I seem to believe it's me
who's not worth sacrificing for.
So I will hold my head high
and not look back.
Wish you luck with whatever you do.
I will finally understand
I am not able to be loved.
