I Died Today

Increasingly invisible I lay, sheltered by the insecurities that possess my mind

Increasingly invisible I lay, watching the world pass me by

Please

Take these broken wings of mine, save me from myself

- What have I become? I do not know

Bruises fade, pain remains

and before you know it - only scattered truths prevail

Pictures of a better time intoxicate my mind

I lost myself when you stole this heavy heart.

Increasingly invisible I lay, I’ve learnt to hide before wondering eyes

Increasingly invisible I lay, my will is weak and sadness has a way of always knowing my name

Look into my eyes,

see the rhythm of my heart-beat, as I let it go

All the fear and pain I hold

-within me

So, bruises fade and pain remains

Before you know it, you can’t even remember your own name.

Pictures of a better time intoxicate my mind

-Like a broken record
