Open Shut

You dont know how close I have come to walking away today
These last few days of silence has taught me well
Selfless abandon waiting to cave in
My only consolation was broken skin
Crawling on blisters and cracked glass
The treads so softly to not disturb the past
Human nature unprepared
Your life discarded to waken your chance
Save tomorrow for someone else
Grieve in silence and suffer with my ghost
Catch a breath and wonder what the fuss was all about
Was it ever worth the grief
Wasting precious time on nothing
If I was a memory would you remember it fondly
Amnesiac lost in the periphery
Given a chance to save a life
But couldnt remember which life to save
So much has been lost who am I to blame
Anothers discomfort in my presence
Unable to see past the shell
The man once loved still belongs beneath
Gathering all his strength just to try and speak
But some words escape meaning
Incoherent are feelings
Sometimes they are best left in the darkness
To fester on regardless
Until the very end
When we are on our own again
