PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

Wake up and smell the coffee

It's black, just like your life

It's been awhile since you last felt

Relief from all this strife

I know how life can be

When you lose the things you need

I never feel like quite myself

My heart begins to bleed

I can't seem to stop this

My life's tearing at the seams

I'm plagued to death with heartache

Broken wings and fallen dreams

Every single song I sing

Is all about the pain

But I can't seem to get it through

I guess it's all in vain

I know the need to tear my flesh

And feel my beating heart

I know the deep despair

When all hope just falls apart

I can tell you what it's like

To love the pain you've known

I know what it's like to feel

Like you are all alone

I've spilled my  heart to others

Thinking they would take my hand

And lead me through the darkened day

I thought they'd understand

But now I know reality

And it's a cruel friend

I know I'm going to feel like this

Up to the very end

I have learned the honest truth

And I'm not going to lie

I am all alone in this

And this is how I'll die.
