PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

watching all the doors open / to see them close in my face

seeing it all come together / just to witness it fall apart

having everything i ever wanted / just for it to be taken away

everything was in my reach / now it’s miles away and forgotten



i’m too far below it / now you can never reach me

i’ve dug myself deep / now  you can’t even see me

sealed inside this mask / the real me was a decoy

now i wish i could hide / yet i’m drawn to the open



you are what they say you are / don’t lie to yourself

i’m enclosed in this skin / now there’s no escape

in these deepest depths / i wish i was above it like you



just another statistic / just a slave

never one of you / dig another grave

this vision of you / can’t escape my head

this vision of life / couldn’t be more dead



and i’ll never forget / you’ll never bring me back

without you there’s nothing / but you don’t feel the same

when you’re not there / i can’t bear the darkness

without you inside / everything is empty



staring at the reflection / trying to find my way inside

how i wish i was there right now / to escape all the left behinds

i need someone to carry me away / to bring me out of this

nobody reaches out a hand / and all of mine won’t go far enough



they’ve already left me / now it’s my time to leave them

there’s only a few flowers in the dirt / i can’t let them go

how i wish i would’ve known you sooner / you wish you would’ve known me later

but it seems so hard to let go / so i keep hanging on



as sealed as i am / i’ll let some of the light in

as dead as i am / i’ll let some of the life in

i know you’ll never understand / that i just need someone there

someone to pull me up / when i start to sink

and someone to open the door / when i close myself in
