...Too late.
Fight that starts without a punch and ends without a word leaves silence in a room. The drunk obsession where I burned the marks are spreading. Still the carpet stained and the mantel empty like the memory shattered. On the wall the family picture like the clock and unburned candles broken left alone, like me, but I don't mind at least not yet. So tell me how I'm not supposed to talk myself to sleep again...
It's not healthy but it's mine.
Dancing staring without moving, taunting time on steps I refuse to climb because the landing above wasn't built for me. I think, but if the house is empty maybe stairs are what I need. But not today and not tonight I'll ask again tomorrow. Lying here can calm me if I wait, and if I wait I'll find myself...
It's not healthy but it's mine.
Absent focus as I've said some people hear and I keep saying. Yet it doesn't ever hide the broken lines that shake beneath me. Does it hurt them when I jump and stomp? Fuck it, I don't care. Those limits set to break aren't budging, so to cope I'm only trapped and apathy consumes until I'm stone without my wine...
It's not healthy but it's mine.
What's to save?
I'm only stalling.
