I lose every night
To poison-filled thoughts
They soak into my brain
And watch as it rots
The harbingers of death
They draw me to the edge
Willing me to let go
Fall backwards off the ledge
Silently draining me
Of any will to live
Too weak to even blink
They've taken me captive
My chest is hollow
And venom fills my head
I feel myself breathing
But I am long dead
My heart still pumps
But no longer lives
It wants to love
But there's none left to give
My mind still whirs
But rust is collecting
And you can see it now
In the mirror, reflecting
