Desert Dry

Dry eyes stare down at the carpet

The flesh arms hang against chair arms like a puppet

A heavy heart beats still but his chest can’t feel it

And the mind hurts so bad that it wants to quit

And sit

And never touch the subject again

But it can’t, or it won’t

Then comes the knot in his throat

And the pain, like rain comes down and the shame (Oh the shame)

Sparks a flame behind eyelids shut

Can anyone see this man stuck in this rut?

Like a street roaming dog that turnned cur

The kind with the bloodstained mangy dirt fur

 

A Dry mouth sits agape in disbelief

As if belief would destroy the nonexistent relief in his eyes (staying dry?)

He looks down at the carpet because looking up is too hard

And by far all that’s keeping him dry is his pride

But as his mouth opens wide to breathe

He begins to cry

But he bites his lips and sucks it up (What a good little soldier)

He turns pain and sorrow to rage and grows bolder

The font on his head says “I wish I were dead” but only in a form of phrase

Because being dead would only start a new cycle of this pain (a whole new craze)

 

Dry eyes stare down at a carpet

Because if the tears came there would be no way to stop it

And if I stand strong now later I’ll feel better

Because I’ll for ever know I can fight through whatever

Come what may rain, hail, (hell) or shine

I will never fail to hold the line

God help me if I ever lose

This will, this pride, this light, this drive, this strength that I use to keep my eyes dry

Thanks, I felt real Emo when I was writting this so was worried it'd sound wimpy

[Riley Mistwood]
