Pitfall

Wrestling with my, wrestling with my thoughts
Battling for, battling for peace
Writhing in this tumultuous, unrelenting sea

A bitterness resides, a feeling too large for words
Grappling with anxiety
What feels like a curse

I can see there is a lifeline
Light flickers in the distance
Hazy now I struggle on but with wavering ambition

A car crash in slow motion
The calm before the storm
The pitfall in your stomach
As others watch and they scorn

I've fallen down a hollow chasm
Hollow I am too
Searching for that fleeting warmth
Is that longing found in you?
Is this longing found in you?

There's a safety in sadness, you know
A comfort in the dark
A familiarity in sorrow
That truly grips your heart

Concealed from sight
And out of view
Locked in a box
Eruption long overdue

Such an affront
And what a betrayal
Immeasurable ignorance
I fear our ship has sailed

Weary I wither
Fatigue takes hold
Of my bruised and battered mind
That's grown oh so very old
