I'm falling apart
Can you help me
Stop this pain
Seal the wound up
Stop the bleeding
I am needing
An escape right now
Cigarette smoke
Escaping lips
Bottles of liquid courage
Empty and familiar tasting
On unfamiliar lips
Escaping
Running
Hiding
Covering up
This is the only way I know how to live
Higher than cloud nine
Laying on the floor
Staring at the ceiling like I can see the stars
Laughing
Saying things that don't make sense
Just shielding an insecurity
Or two
Or a hundred
Breaking glass
Taking apart razors
Bleeding into the bathtub
Smoke enveloping the tiled room
Dancing in the light like cloudy dragons
Blacking out
Riding it out
Covering up truths and scars
With laughter and smiles
That I think are real too
But when they look away
My face falters
Eyes grow tired and my breathing alters
Sleep it all away
Panics in sleep
Hazy memories and blurry faces
Rapid breathing - not breathing
A minute passed
Deep breath
And return to the haunting abyss
