Swan Song

I'm sitting in the hallway
Between shadow and light
Leaning towards night
The light is too bright
It glares and flares
Upon the wound
That's bloodied, and raw
And stares at the other side of
The room
Reflecting the gloom
Of my broken heart
Messed up and torn apart

How many mother's little helpers do I need
To find solace in the shelter
Of the dark breed
That feeds
Taking my breath away
Leaving me distraught
For yet another day

A blade would be quicker
If not trickier
The bridge is not an option
Heights scare me too much
For this and that
And such and such

The devils creed
Cries for the need
See me
Love me
Listen to me
Respect me
Want me
Hold me
Just fucking hold me

I'm sitting in the hallway
Between shadow and light
I'm present
In the now
I give up the fight
To desire
To want
To long for
To have
To hold
And let go into the mire
And wonder how
I can move forward
Past the shadows
Where they lay
Because I know I'll be okay

The light is too bright
It glares and flares
Upon the wound
That's bloodied and raw
And stares
At the other side of the room
Reflecting the gloom
Of my broken heart
All messed up and torn apart

I'm sitting in the hallway between shadow and light
Go over my choices
And wonder which one is right
