this crimson veil descends and covers my eyes
blocking out everything sane and right
bitterness and hate eating away at my very soul
no matter how long i stare i cant look past this red, devious light.
i try to hide behind this awkward smile
but even the reflection that glances back reveals the pain.
i stare at myself staring back at me
and see part of me shrink and vanish into the dark.
i cant shake this anger and hatred burning deep inside
my heart broken and bruised laying haphazordly upon my shattered pride
my life has turned into a puzzle to which even i have no clue.
two steps forward and fifteen back it seems
things as far as i can see seem disfigured by this depressionistic hue.
feeling alone and unwanted i stumble threw this darkness
arms outstretched in a dying hope of finding some sort of hope to grasp.
drunkenly swaying this way and that in this neverending maze
i finally succumb and drop exhausted to my knees
head in hands i prepare to surrender to this enveloping gloom
this shell of a broken man finds his eternal peace
as visions of you flicker just behind these tortured eyes.
visions of you tempt and tease as i cease to be
visions of you....there will always be visions of you....
