Peace of Mind

I said, "It didn't matter."

But it mattered 'cause I cared.  

It was like a relapse. 

Like rewind and we're back to square one

Where you were just a face among faces. 

In seas of furrowed brows and darting eyes.

Of shaking hands and panicked breathing. 

I guess it's accurate to say that this sinking feeling that I feel is the "didn't matter" digging holes in my stomach where my peace used to be. 

Slowly, piece by piece I fade into the past.

A relapse. 

Just the same exactly as 795 days before.

With my pen to page

My tears to face 

And my eyes closed waiting for the shit to end. 

I fade into the past 

A relapse. 

Cause "it didn't matter" and "whatever" are digging graves for my peace of mind.
