My Poetic Escape

Forgive and Forget

My heart is stuck in perpetual darkness

With the only light being a small spark

Of burning desire to be something more

that what I have been lately

But my mind is like an inexhaustible hurricane 

 Driven by greed and hate

That drowns on any flame

My heart tries to convey

Because there's no such thing as happy

The pain is something I can't see

But it sure as hell pours down on me

I'm a devoted nihilist

I think I'm content with hurting like hell

I've done this to myself

I was something

I used to be somebody

I wanted to be happy

But lately happy is a fantasy

There's a difference between

Breathing and living

But tonight it won't really matter

So take my broken promises

And lay to sleep with me

And please forgive me

For any unfinished lines

My fake lies

And my fictitious smiles

No amount of praying

Will save me from my life's daring

I'm not going to waste time

Living a half life

Forgive me

And forget me

PLEASE.
