little white lines

I sit and I stare
At all the little white lines,
Each one reminding me
Of a dark and painful time.
And I feel it creeping back,
That deep and dark loneliness,
And I can feel it wrapping itself
Around my soul again.
I sit and I stare
At all my little white lines
Each one reminding me
Of a million little lies
Of all the cover ups and lies
Told as I fell back under,
Yet I can't help but wish to return again.
I sit and I stare
At all my little white lines
And I wonder how many people
Have some just like mine
I wonder if they're lonely
Because they finally found out the truth
That they've never been anything interesting
And suppose they never will be too.
