Shattered pieces falling from within
Heart is aching, crying out for more
Scrambled thoughts so damn misconstrued
Each breath seemingly harder than before
Self-pity consuming like deadly quicksand
Movement slows down with these concrete shoes
All hope is now lost, gone in a mere moment
The time has come to pay for what is due
Hopelessness swallows the light inside
Shadows seeping slowly just below the skin
Between each layer is a subtle poison
Creating a kind of cancer that will always win
