Without the Restraints

"The fire in your heart is out"

I don't know why I thought I could be happy.
Here I am again on the floor.
Fighting back tears while my heart and mind are at war.
Wondering why the pain always feels fresh
Like the morning after a death.
But familiar like a battle wound.
My smile left too soon.
Without warning I can't remember how it felt.
The pain burns down those memories while my mind is wrapped in hell.
I don't want to suffer but I know no cure.
My happiness is tainted and the pain is pure.
The pain has no voice so you won't be able to hear.
The thoughts that poisoned my logic and left an angry fear.
All you'll ask is what's wrong.
But pain has no voice so I'll continue to sing the same song.
"Nothing Nothing Nothing is wrong"
"I'm by myself because I never belonged"
"Sadness will pass come back when it's gone"
You'll leave of course,
leave me alone .
You don't know what I'm thinking you just see my smile is gone.
My words will hypnotize your fears with lies of "okness" and you will easily go along .
With the same old sad song.
The pain comes back everytime you're near
Or far or I'm here
It had no boundaries like dust it appears.
Like poison it spreads.
Like plague I'm filled with dread.
Like sick realization I go to sleep every night on my deathbed.
 Praying for sanity in my head.
But like a prisoner of my own mind
I wake up every morning wishing I was dead.
A Contradiction that flows through my blood
Stitching together a sane facade like sewing thread.
My mind runs red.
