Another Turn

Even the days I’m falling

I can’t help but plant my feet

Firmly on the ground below

Driven, fueled by my insanity

They pace



Have you ever noticed the world shrinking

Crushing around my hands

They clench, they hold each other close

Desperately waiting

For security to break them apart



I wait for the light to return to me

But this hell has dawned

Flowing out of the tips of my fingers

The devil writes her words by my hands

While sheltered in the dark



Burn them cursed words

And help my soul to be free again

Why can’t we ever seek a contentment

One that is a permanent race

That lives and breaths with us



Why is it that the bad things

Always seem to be the things

That linger and burn longer than

The times that lifted us towards the clouds



We fall faster than we rise

We impact harder

And take longer to heal our wounds

So may this world see us clear and pure

May we be cleansed while cursed in the dark

Author's Notes/Comments: 

For the bad times that over-stay their welcome.
