Reflection

The veins inside my hand
Feel like they’re pulling tight
They start to burn
With each word I write

My eyes inside my head
Pulling my eyelids tight
They start to burn
If I let in any light

And I wish that I could say
This was just any other day
But my blood has never
Spilled this way before
I watch in the mirror
As the last remaining
Pieces of me
Are no more

The bones inside my skin
Used to hold my flesh just right
But now it seems to hang
It’s really quite a sight

I wish that I could say
I felt any other way
But my head has never
Felt this fucking sore
I look to the past
As the last remaining
Pieces of me
Are no more

When the sun blinks out tonight
And sleep drags me deep
I’ll shed my skin
Between the sheets

When dark has surrounded us
And the shadows start to creep
I’ll spill my blood
While my devils sleep

I wish that I could say
I felt any other way
As I’m laying here
On this cold tile floor
I watch my reflection
As the last remaining
Pieces of me
Are no more

I wish that I could say
I felt any other way
As your headed out the door
I watch myself in your eyes
As the last remaining
Pieces of me
Are no more
