Careful Sleep

by Katy Nicholson   May 24, 2009


I dwell in tears to let it out.
But all I do is hurt myself.
Within this soul of stone and lies.
Are memories I can't abide.

Why can't you see that I can't breathe?
Why do you care, why can't I leave.
The tighter you hold, the more I bleed.
Why can't you see right through to me?

I look in the mirror, only to see.
A creature that I don't want to be.
I've tried so hard to break my shell.
But no one caught me when I fell.

I can't hold on, I'll just let go.
Life's been to long, it's been to slow.
I'm heading deeper towards the end.
I can't complain, I can't pretend.

The happiness was thrown away.
Along with lust to live each day.
Everyday that I would regret.
Unfolding dreams I'd never forget.
