The Stars Unseen (Addictions)

by brie kelly wise   Dec 22, 2008


The stars I couldn't see
In the darkness too bitter to mean
The way you meant to me
To the the things I've seen
To the addictions that consumed me
To the salvation that set me free
The chains I couldn't break
The arguments I couldn't say
From the highways, I stray
The lives I couldn't save
The emotions I couldn't take
To the prices I couldn't pay
To the homes, I couldn't stay
This composure, I cannot keep
This age I cannot leave
To the ideal reveries
To the broken fantasies
To his hand I cannot hold
To my body I have sold
My past, it remains old
My life, it impresses the cold
To these hard times, I have tried
To my mother, I have lied
These days, they pass by
To this town, I have cried
To my sister, I have disregarded
To the friends I have discarded
To my father, I have forgotten
To the days that are rotten
To the lovers I have blown through
To myself, who I must leave soon
These stars that I have not seen
In the darkness that consumes me
These things I have seen
These addictions, this salvation frees me
To myself, who I will soon see
