Words to Complete Me

written by: OurSacredHonor

I don't know where I'm going, only where I've been
And here I sit at night again with my pad and pen again
The interrogation begins painlessly enough
But as the night continues it can get really rough
The questions that berate me
The people that will hate me
Endlessly the cycle continues in my head
Every night the same routine before I go to bed
It's too much to take and I can't seem to end it
It's a wound in my life and I can't seem to mend it
So I drown in the blood of my slaughtered dreams
Once again nothing is at it seems
What happened to the way things were supposed to be?
What happened that made THIS reality?
This doesn't seem right
Not here, not tonight
I don't belong in this life of mine today
I must have screwed up somewhere along the way
This is so right but so wrong
It's what I've wanted all along
But this life I've attained
Is too much to maintain
And it scars my desires
And extinguishes my fires
And leaves me with nothing but black
Once again it's me I attack
I cant' let me be
And I refuse to see
Myself as I am right now
And I can't understand how
"this isn't me!" I scream at my reflection
as I gather my little collection
of thoughts of how things should be today
no idea of what to say
I'm empty because I don't know how you feel
I can only guess until you choose to reveal
I need to know what is real
And all the things you choose to conceal
Stop hiding and tell me because I'm empty inside
Tell me everything that you want to hide
Let me hear the words you've buried down deep
Make me see the visions you see in your sleep
I need your words to complete my soul
Without them I just am not whole
