Frayed

Another day, another page

Counting down

Another tear, another fear

Coming to an end

My book is worn and frayed

Focusing only on mistakes I have made

I can’t help but cry

The scars run so deep

Just like a river

Tears bring me to sleep

Behind this smile

is an empty soul

Behind these eyes

coloured charcoal

Behind every word

Behind every thought

Behind every scar

Worthy of life I’m not

To be loved is earned

To be forgiven is yearned

To be rejected is pain

To be forgotten…

Like a midsummer rain…
