And They Were All Lies
by #5 Poetic Society
I couldn’t ignore the pain any longerLife was just too muchI never saw my life in future timesOr happiness and love and suchI’d been to the edge with the intent to jumpAnd had become happy with thoughts of no painFeeling my uselessness as an inherited curseI had nothing left to gainThe sun failed to shineIn my world overcastBirds no longer sangAnd the first had become the lastAll things good and wholeHad turned and went their wayThey were never to return to meSo I felt I should just go awayConsumption by hate, to save was too lateWhere should I turn now?Why do I get kicked when I’m down?When could I be happy? Or even better, how?Fallen and fetalI will return to the dirtBittersweet battle withinNo longer would I hurtSmiles soon fadedAnd hearts followed to breakAs I cried out for helpI cried in heaven’s sakeRoutinely I criedFor a hand to reach to meI looked blankly at emptiness’ stareAnd closed my eyes reluctantlyBut I felt one more fight, a chance in meTo save myself from isolationPiercing my lips were words of insignificanceAnd the end to my frustrationAs time's hands moved on and onTogether, as one, we grewNow solitary routine you seekYou seek you never knewTired of times we spend togetherTired of me you growTired of being tired in timeNo feelings will you showBut in time as your thoughts are evenWill I be thought of only as your pawnAnd will you be happy or sadWhen I’m finally gone?
