Lost in my head today….

This world ain’t big enough for the two of us, in my head
He slides among the continuum of hopeful and defeated
With a self-deprecating bloodlust which is never sated
I’m a rock today, and tomorrow, a mess

But I digress

There’s two inside this undecided head of mine
And callous eyes can only hide behind a grin
Yet I keep up the charade some days and parade
Like none can stand before my sword; but my words
Tomorrow will speak volumes of a broken heart

It will stitch itself

Or so I say, today, when tomorrow’s light starts pale
But grows into a hurricane of solemn vows to stand my ground
Upon a sea of fading hopes and dreams
In hope that once again my faithful friend will rear his head
To take up the cause of happy thoughts and peaceful dreamless sleep

The two dance on until I’m gone, lost behind
A painful sigh of time better spent in an evident haze
The days and nights cause butterfly flight to wax and wane
Pain which comes and goes and not even I know
Why it never stays

My shattered front is filled with fresh blood
A new recruit which takes up a stained sword
He wields it with no hesitation

It will stitch itself

But a warrior falls again tomorrow
And is replaced with a threadless needle
I can’t go on like this
This graceless dance of tasteless facades
I hide my heart from even my eyes
But I try, and I pry, only to find
This world ain’t big enough for the two of us

Are you a rock today, or have you fallen again?
