Behind Houdini Stood the Battle Between Mozart and Beethoven

by Ixora   Apr 13, 2006


I haven’t seen the sun in about a week
And my eyes have known no sleep
My head is conjuring up lies
Even as it breaks the promises I’ve tried to keep

My arms are burning from my wounds
And my body craves some peace
The demons merely snicker in delight
Knowing I can do nothing to make it cease

I had a bad day again
And the night hasn’t proved better
I started looking over my box of memories
And ended up tearing each letter

Watching the fire I start to think
And ended up taking an overdose
As my eyelids surrender to darkness
My hand crumples its tattooed rose

A nightmare breaks me into consciousness
And I can’t stop the tears
I’m addicted to someone who can’t help me
Rocking myself for comfort from my fears

Don’t worry I’m just strong enough
To stand on my own feet without you three
I may be breaking down inside
But I’ll die before I let you see…

    Sorry...I haven't been on in a while. I feel like I have been in the same position in that poem. Rocking back and forth so you don't do something you'll regret for forever! Loved it!
