Bones

I can't breathe and I'm terrified of falling asleep, to meet the shadows that've been haunting my dreams. A reflection of all that I am for all to see. I want to drown my lungs in plastic. I want to fill this gaping hole and when it all comes back to haunt me, I want the pain to take its toll. Another trophy for the hall of regrets. Another night to forget. Another consequence of actions repressed. Waking up in sweats. Mend me. Make me proud. Motivate me. Bend me. Break me down. Suffocate me. Take all of it. Take all of me. Shed my skin. Take me from my home. I give all I am. I give all I own. Shed my skin. Steal my heart again. Take from me my bones. Cast me down into the depths of depravity. Cast out to the where the wanderers roam. Praised by the angels of tragedy. Loathed by the demons of hope. Take all of it, everything I own. Take all of it. Come and steal my soul. Shed my skin. Take me from my home. I give all I am. I give all I own. Shed my skin. Steal my heart again. Take from me my bones.
