Heart of Steel

Hidden Corners (2/16/24)

I tend to tremble

When my thoughts get the best of me

I convulse and wince

Even though no pain

Is known to me anymore

There's always an entity that follows

It corners me in the dark

It smiles as it gets the best of me

Through my eyes one can see

I am numb to what it does to me

If only you knew

See me through

I wish you knew

Lather in new diamonds

I hide

I am my own rival

This darkness forever follows me

The shadow in the limelight

I promised I would fight

This heart of mine

Those eyes of yours

They haunt me

I wish I knew

No pain

In your eyes

This darkness forever follows me

Yet followed by your light

I confess I am fine

I hide

I lie

I lie down with wishes

Numbed by my mind

I tend to tremble

When I've been here before

Every day I see the day I dread

Some fall

Some end it all

When I've been there before

I lie down with lies

Beautiful lies and forgotten enemies

So easy to regret

In my eyes

Reflection of haunting gaze

Rushes terrorize me

My tremors are of my memory

I lie down

I wish to forget

I regret my eyes

The old tears

The old days

The years ago I forget

Trapped in the thoughts

The daydream

I abandoned ages ago

To the girl I left behind

It is time

Rewind

Pretty past-time

Until next time

Leave yourself behind

Leave me behind

Rewind

Never trace this confession

Back to me

For you

From your forever

Don't forget me

Don't leave me behind

Fragmented and bruised

Don't leave me

I won't forget about you

To me

From my forever

Let this be so.
