Sinking Back

50 22 30
                                    

No tears in eyes
But deep inside
I know that's it.

The teasing darkness
The laughing silence
The terrible nights
That refuses to pass away,
Are the only ones with me now anyway.

The irony is livid
Making my pain a lot more vivid.

Running from reality
Living in fantasies
Trying to forget
My biggest regret
Nothing that I didn't try.
Haunting me, memories still lie.

How to cure this ache?
How long will it take?
For me to be myself again!
But I defy me
As loneliness confines me

Everything I could not get
Goals I once set
Dreams I once saw
Unachieved that they are
Still remain with me
Haunting me
Every night taunting me.

Everything that I could
Still could not.
That time would not
Come back ever
To let me erase the hurtful past
To let a less painful future to last.

Moving ahead
Still sinking back
Earning my heart a tack
That can't be taken down.
Causing invisible wounds
Is the broken dreams' renown.
