chain smoking two packs of cigarettes
starring at the shadows on the walls
hoping they don't come alive
but then again a fight would break the
monotonous of being alone
she said she had to go
couldn't take the fighting with me
am the demons that plague my mind
i suspect she had a few of her own
I cant blame her hell I'd leave to
if I could find a way to lose My mind
the question is when everything you know
is said and done
when it's over........
where will you run
who will still be by your side
is anyone still going to love you
what are you going to do when all this pride

I woke up in the middle of the night
with a momentary smile
I swear I just felt .............................
