Split

ten to midnight,

my mind's on repeat,

treading old grounds,

I can't settle into paradise.

Two selves trying to compete,

For the throne of my life,

How treacherous I've become,

Both selves full of deceit.

Think, do the sums,

My head's a cavern,

driving back the dark,

My fragile selves beat the drum.

This is becoming a pattern,

Expressing my darkest thoughts,

Expecting you to fix me up,

the labyrinth filled with chatter.

Half of me is at a loss,

Deeper in the rabbit hole I dive,

What will i come across,

And at what cost?

What will i stumble upon,

feeling in the water,

For my shattered selves,

The half i chose to ignore.

All i have taught her,

I gave her the reigns,

I set her free,

The four walled fortress,

where we once were.
