Your words are still etched into my mind
They hiss at me when I'm about to fall asleep
They draw out slowly, they make their way
All the way down my throat
And wrap themselves around my heart.
Then they squeeze as hard as they can,
Until I am laying on the bathroom floor again
Choking on my own memories
Throwing up all the love I ever had
Praying one night I'll sleep the whole night through.
I've been praying a lot lately
Praying for some happiness.
Praying for a break.
Praying to heal.
And I can't help but wonder
When God is going to answer me.
