Falling into pieces
A poet with no voice
Everybody out there is talking
About their lives of bliss and gold
I'm the one who's walking
Towards nowhere and getting old
It's easy to feel alone
Even when folks are around
I'd rather find a quiet zone
Burst into tears without a sound
The wind carries it all away
Leaves are detached from the trees
Life moves faster each day
While I am still crawling on my knees
Others are flying up high
I am falling into pieces!
The cold breeze makes them smile
While it cuts me into pieces!
I see my black garden dying fast
My flowers are falling into pieces!
It's breaking through my chest
I am falling into pieces!
All it takes is to be out of bed
And the worst day I will be living
Stones are thrown, and all of them have fled
With blood on their hands, it's mine from within
The atmosphere outside starts to grow tense
As the daylight turns sooner into night
Enrages my demons and breaks my defense
And a blade let's those ghosts out on my thigh
The wind carries it all away
Leaves are detached from the trees
My sleeves are a bit longer each day
So nobody will ask about this
Others are flying up high
I am falling into pieces!
The cold breeze makes them smile
While it cuts me into pieces!
I see my black garden dying fast
My flowers are falling into pieces!
It's breaking through my chest
I am falling into pieces!
The numbers drop fast on the scale
As nothing more stays down inside
Dark bruises and shadows on a face that's pale
Now tell a story I was trying to hide
They caught me with empty eyes at my desk
Cold sweating, shaking, losing control
Still, it takes so much for anyone to ask
Because the reason no one ever cared to know
The wind carries it all away
Leaves are detached from the trees
Passing out in the toilet every day
Minutes at the front door, can't even fit the keys
Others are flying up high
I am falling into pieces!
The cold breeze makes them smile
While it cuts me into pieces!
I see my black garden dying fast
My flowers are falling into pieces!
It's breaking through my chest
I am falling into pieces!
The leaves are covering the ground
No trees with flowers can be found
Like them, I'm barely holding on again
In times of cold air and no rain
Others are flying up high
I am falling into pieces!
The cold breeze makes them smile
While it cuts me into pieces!
I see my black garden dying fast
My flowers are falling into pieces!
It's breaking through my chest
I am falling into pieces!
Will we make it through the winter?
