The overdose

by Disenchanted   Dec 20, 2006


As I watch my self be thrown against the wall

The towel is tossed and I've lost the brawl

The pills we're scattered across the floor without care

And my eyes grew contracted with nothing but fear

I can't see you anymore, not like this now

The world, it swirls

And my fingers where clenched

My eyes where wide

I could feel the numbness washing over me

Just like the in coming tide

No one can understand this horrible mess

No one could ever under stand why

It never showed anywhere, not even within my emotionless eyes

My eyes; the ones that refused to shut

The ones that store in horror, yet kept their emotionless cover

Lashes never touching my cheek, they just hovered.

Even as I tried to move, I didn't budge an inch

Instead I felt the cold wind of death, come closer with every shift

It washed over me, my throat felt bound

Like I was going underwater, never to be found.

As I was going under, my eyes still didn't close

And the pills around me shone

In the distant moonlight a cry was made

One of a soul awakening from a nightmare

Yet they didn't know

The nightmare just begins, when you're finally awake.
