The lonely man
Sometimes I feel happy
Or at least the happy I can reach
More at peace
But then there's those moments where I drift over the edge of a cliff
Barely hanging on and all of it hurts
It feels like everyone hates me
Nothing will be the same
And time is moving slow
I just want to wallow
I want to scream
I want to hurt
I try
I try very hard not to hurt myself
Like before
But sometimes it gets too over bearing and I need that release
I need a hug but that's not something you can just ask for
Not from the people in my life
Sometimes I feel at peace but then sometimes that cliff starts to shake and I go over
I'm holding on by a thread but that thread is barely holding on
Tearing one by one
And then
Then it happens
And it will happen
That darkness will take over
When I fall
When the thread finally breaks and I fall into the pit of darkness
Back with the lonely man
The man who was there consuming my life for months
He's trying to take me back
He's creeping
His long withering hands coming up to pull me under
I feel it
I feel the thread breaking
One more piece and then it's all over
And I am gone
Back where i was
Back with him
All bc of one mistake, one fight, one misunderstanding
One little thing will put me over the edge
The lonely man's back and he wants to stay
