Slits of a Dream

seeping through the cracks
falling through the wholes
the floor creaks beneath me
and unstead tread past fate's eyes

walking the thin line
balancing on your own pole

lost in the shadows
forgoten and left behind

you hold back the darkness
hoping for someone to come
someone to save you from this one

this time it is different
it has gone way too far

too far to turn back
to dangerous to go forward

scared out of your mind
lost in your life
death would be a blessing
cursed with one more day,
and eternal sleepless nights

waiting for that next hour
as the clock ticks by
waiting for the hands to turn
till the turn no more

hoping something takes this all away
releaves you from your hell
takes the pain away
holds you in their arms

only a dream
a wish
a thought

something being dangled infront of you
taken away at the last moment

there is no point left
nothing to go on for
you take the knife in your hands
hoping that it will work this time
the pain will stop
and you will drop to the floor

never to wake
never more
