My mind flows
like a faucet
can't turn it off, can't stop it
images, words, phrases
shoot through my mind with the speed of lasers
don't know what to do
don't know where to turn
my red eyes start to burn
been up all night
thinking of everything
thinking of nothing
except one thing
my ears begin to ring
no sleep because of that one thing
it's driving me crazy
all my emotions bastardized and combined
the thoughts are stuck in my mind
I try to ignore it
I try to change the subject
but the thoughts just won't budge
It didn't seem possible
how could it be?
I never thought that she'd...
today I see the new light
but yet, all is not right
I try to fight the feelings creeping over me
but how can you fight what you can't see?
silent predators eating away at my core
soon there will be nothing left, no more
seconds pass
minutes crawl
hours never come
I want this nightmare to end
maybe the solution is just around the bend
for the time being I try to cope
hanging on to that last shred of hope
