Lines Of Decay

These broken sentences I write
Entomb the Feelings I can't Speak
The Darting Pen that Scars the Page
Leaves Blotchy sentiments so bleak

These paragraphs That Cage my Words
Trap all my fears so they can't stray
Forcing an order to the Lines
Keeping my troubled thoughts

Away
And I know these pages keep this pain
Away
And I know these words allow me to remain

These Cursive lines a Jagged Blur
As if the consonants had Tears
The hurried lines Huddled so Tight
The words immortalized in Fear

This Yellowed Paper shows its wear
The Corners eaten by Decay
The ink has Faded into time
But it still keeps these thoughts

Away
And I know these pages keep this pain
Away
And I know these words allow me to remain

These Vivid Visions haunt my mind
Tearing through Every Memory
Wrenching Apart all that they find
They struggle gasping to break free

This churning Chaos in my head
Is pouring out onto the page
Flooding the Paper with such Loss
Washing my troubled Thoughts

Away
And I know these pages keep this pain
AwayAnd I know these words allow me to remain
