Predictable

I say only tonight
But I want forever
When dreams feel like arms
Wrapped up and suffocating

I run my fingers along the walls
Too many cracks to count
I breathe in their empty sighs
And try silently to escape their eyes

The lives of the torn
I live each one at night
Ripped like a rag doll
I cut up the pieces in haste

Scribble healing words that can't lie to me
But I can't write fast enough
Shouldn't run from the terror of responsibility
Live in the present instead of a fantasy

But I know it too well
Some rhyme I made
Words mean nothing
Predictable insincerity
