Fall back on this mask
In a rhythm called Survival
in a poison called Life.
It only takes one shot baby
and I'm down and out for
[Life]
I was healing from this heartache
with a tendency for strife.
[oh gods you've got me rhyming again]
This is a porcelain Obedience
painted white By the Murder's knife.
((such a lovely opposition))
We're lost in the abyss tonight,
Like a star falling from sight.
But where do the stars go,
when they're feeling just like me?
[why Dolley don't you know they Die?]
But that's all i am you see,
just your d-rate
glow-in-the-dark Dolley.
I don't want to be here,
but I haven't got a choice
when you shove it down my throat
in hopes I'll lose my voice.
And now I'm listening to music
and relating to the verses,
but writings never happy work
when your blood is a black as mine.
[like the politician's heart]
I was getting better baby
and then The colors led me home
It was only a distance
until i found my way back,
i guess i should have known.
That When your memories are just like mine
[self-blame's the name of the game]
that your heart is torn and tattered,
dyed black and put to Ice.
where it's crawling back on Bandaged organs,
like a blind man's bullied fight.
I'm the Air inside this toxic room,
I'm there but you can't see me,
and I'm poisonous,
and deadly,
yet it seems I'm only affecting myself
because I seem to be the only one dying.
And you all are laughing
and carrying on
so why am i on the ground
what happened to you
you were supposed to pick me up.
But now the crowd is drawing blade,
and I see this is my life.
I can't escape betrayal,
because your using my knife.
The scars are there and burns to match
your red-hot poker's slash.
It's the Reverse of normalcy,
and They're calling Loneliness my life.
[[ p-pick me up
This shattered mirror
and place me back together,
so next time that you hate your self
you can just smash me again and again]]
Author notes
Well I planned on using the wordbank... but it got away from me. Oh well....
I know i veered off topic, but i like this poem, I'll probably Edit it so i can make the flow less forced to be about lonliness... this is rather abstract..... but mer.

The sting of the loss
The minds holds all in the looking and in their looking back heartbreak dies in between their fore
nobody wins even if its pieced back together again
