Can we?

Guilt surpasses the immeasurable burden
Weighing down on my shoulders
Eyelids, muscles ache
A sensation I cannot take
Moment after moment
Drenched in all this confusion
Another way to pass the day
Without remembering
Or looking too closely at ourselves
Can we live this way?

Broken pages
Bleeding into ink filled veins
Hearts waiting to beat, remember what it feels like
to be alive
Too long numb, memories fading into
Somewhere I'm not sure of
Losing myself
A voice lost among this noise
Someone I don't recognize
Looking back through the mirror
I don't trust myself
Running fast but I'm on my heels
Chasing after me
What an elaborate game to play
Can we live this way?
