Swallow The Pain Perscription

Contributed by xXdeadXpoetXx on Wednesday, 27th June 2007 @ 01:35:10 PM in AEST
Topic: selfstruggles

the emptiness inside me
its a void that i cant fill
but i swallow down the pain
the form of 20 RX pills

here i am, cup in hand
reddish pills go down
and i can only hope that these things
will erase my hollow frown

waiting here i sit for you
a cloud about the sea
hoping maybe it will rain
and kill the coma chasing me

suburbia is drowning
the pain behind my eyes
and when i think about it
i hold my head and cry

im wishing for an angel
to come into my heart
and chop up all my pain with swords
and tear my soul apart

i need someone to hold my hand
and wipe the tears from my face
but i guess it's all too much to ask
to lay my life to waste

so as i sit i think of him
the military's man
waiting till July can make it
so i can finally hold his hand

maybe desperation's seeping
into kiss-forgotten lips
but each day i spend alone,
another bloody rip

i carve the "X" into my arm
and swallow all the blood
wishing it were water
so i could finally start the flood

i need someone here for me
someone close to hold
they don't have to be a god or king
just stay inside the mold

all im asking, take my hand
let your soul mix with mine
it doesn't have to last forever
just a grassy hill in time

im not looking for the guy
who walks the rosy aisle with me
i just want someone to care
and see just what i see

but when i look into the mirror
and i scan the crowd for you
it's a mind-blowing funeral
and i hear it's fine with two

im begging for a person
who actually really cares
not someone who judges 1-10
with deadly horrid stares

i run into a building
maybe soon the doors with shut
how much longer can i take it?
i've given all i've got

so as i hold the bottle,
20 white ones in my hand
i'm crawling back to save myself
and let me drift again

This was a bit long-winded for me, but it has some very good pieces. I really like the 3rd, 8th, and 13th stanzas.
