smiles fading
face aching
there was so much pretending
i'm still hurting
there's a lot inside i'm keeping
knees trembling
hands shaking
vision blurring
chest tightening
i don't know why i'm still fighting
f a l l i n g
falling apart
f a l l i n g
falling into the abyss
my words are screaming
my tears leaking
my world quaking
i am losing
sleep and will, i am losing
nose burning
cigarettes i keep inhaling
mouth watering
alcohol isn't supporting
wishing my breath stops, i am numbing
f a l l i n g
falling down
f a l l i n g
falling further now
