The days cut deep like daggers
Leaving me bloodied and broken
Sober and confused now
More aware of what I’ve lost
Spending all my days in sleep
Unsure of what else to do
Unsure where to go
Spending waking moments in regret
More old photos surface daily
Sober mind burns with pain
Leaving me lying lifeless in empathy
The memories are a different drug

And again the sleep covers me
Unaware of the surrounding world
Only knowing of my dreams
Where in this valley of enchantment
Pain is rarely given board
So it takes wait outside my realm
And with every conscious moment
I forget the reason why
I forget to even care
And with every blissful memory
So it seems, until I bleed
Pain is only temporary
Where the scars never show
Only knowing they were born
Unaware as to when they will surface
And again cut deep and bleed
