Buy the ticket....(take the ride)

7-13-10
Falling faster from grace
Pillows and sweat and regret
Covering your face
Salt the wound; dig the knife deeper
Intent on destruction
Feeling worse
As time passes
3 day sleeper

The boat has rocked
Best has passed
Now is the only time
To stop
This is the destination
Hope you have your ticket
You’ll need it again
To reboard this ride

Isolation and despair
I can’t fix it (I guess)
Only wanting to help
I suppose I can’t
I suppose I have to
Shut the door
And leave off the light
All I know is
This is not life
Not the way it was meant
Helpless now ( I feel so)
