A Part Of Me

Cutting them loose

Mirrors and illusions all around
My cracked voice, the only sound
And a deafening silence from
The ghosts of my past

Invisible ties that bind
Hollow words spoken
Were way too kind
They haunt me still
With their demonic presence
Leaving me to perish amidst
The sea of lies
And endless dark skies

My skin swelters with false promises
Made in the heat of the moment
Branding me as the fool
Ready to take leaps of faith
And change my fate
Is it too late?

My soul seeks liberation
From strange faces
That visit me in my dreams at night
Out of spite

Cutting them all loose because
Those nonexistent ties
Cucooned in nothingness
No longer serve me
With the same glee

I see the way out now
I see just how easy it is
To forget them all
And cut them all loose
