STUCK ON REPEAT
Another sleepless night
Another wasted dream
Another flood of hope
All gone up in smoke
Another day of aches and pains
Another river made with tears
Another truth revealed a lie
Another crack in a broken heart
Another tear stained pillow
Another lonely night
Another scream to split the air
Another hopeless fight
The nightmare becomes reality
The only thing I know
As another life goes down the drain
Forgotten, lost, alone, afraid
When does it end?
This tribulation
When will it stop?
This relentless torment
Is it only me
Trapped in this place?
Are there others?
Do they see me here?
I see no one
The world is dark
I’m caught in the middle
Clothed in mist
& so it repeats
This cruel melody
The same every time
Always stuck on repeat
I can't go on
Singing this same song
I don't want to hear it
Anymore
But still it repeats
Every damned day!
This cruel melody
Of sadistic intent
Please, let me lie down
Let me breathe
And maybe, just maybe
I will stand another day
But if this can’t be
Then take me home
Let me be with you
Don’t leave me here to drown
