Stained On The Bathroom Floor

It's during the night that my mind is pained
I'll stare down the faucet where my thoughts have drained
It's puzzling that my thoughts swirl red
It's confusing how my arms feel dead

Selfish desires contrast with innocent needs
All ending with a heart that bleeds
The night so black I can only see my reflection
A jacket so long that my arms go without inspection

Blank letters form dull words yearning to explain what I ponder
But the more letters that are strung together the more my sanity begins to wander
Choppy themes created to vent
Time and energy wasted and spent

Bottled and caged inside my own mistakes
Fearing how many pills my body intakes
A mess of a mind and a disaster of a head
The longer I ponder, the longer I wish I was dead
