Poem: Will anyone listen...To the dark corners of my mysteries...Can anyone see...The wick burning short to my skin...I got crosscut scars...Empty prescription bottles stacked neatly...To remind me of the time
I thought no one could save me...

There was a time
There for a while
She taught me to smile
Whispering sweet nothings
Intoxicating, invincible

After a while
I found out
Sweet nothings were all a lie
She wouldn’t save me

As it turned out all my dreams with her...Never really mattered...They were all shattered

Now I’m alone in my room...All torn up and tattered
No strength left...The pieces all scattered

Ain’t no use in complaining
About the sweet nothings

I got a funny way
To get her to notice me
Crosscut scars
Prescription bottles
Next to the telephone…...
