There it goes again
That hunger and ravenous need
From my heart and the pit of my soul
War and ruin raging inside of me
A tidal wave of the worst infidelity
Can I trust myself to be
Or must I fight the cavernous impulsivity
Alone crouched in the dark
Curled within myself
Lies that tiny thing
My face and tongue as a shield and sword
My eyes surveiling everything
My mind spinning tales of cruelty
Spiraling and falling into the dark
Could I awake with clarity
Will I succumb to the sharp
Unyielding and quick release
Could I slip into that obscurity
The keys play a familiar melody
Somehow that brings me back
To the child with innocent eyes
She smiles and looks up at me
I remember her though it seems long ago
She needs to find a new hobby.
