A sorrowful hello
to a person unknown
a shadow less human
is looking alone.
Why do you look familiar
when we have only just met?
a tear on your cheek
looks so lonely and wet.
You need someone
to have and to hold,
but your facial expression
is growing so old.
The scars on your arms
prove a battle with mind,
you are constantly searching
for answers that bleed past the line.
I’m hoping to know you
in days cold and black,
So that you can keep old monsters
from running off of my back.
Off of my back
and into my soul,
The screaming wont stop
it's taking its toll.
Off of my back
they leap into my heart,
All patches that keep me together
are threading apart.
I plead for the sanity
of an innocent child,
Free from all memories
of being defiled.
I take a look
at the jagged edge of reason,
This stranger has taken
me over with treason.
I now realize
that I know the unknown,
This person I met
is my reflection alone.
