Black Nights

Black pebbles on the ground,

ricocheting as you and I fall down. 

The current of the stream, 

flowing like your mountain of dreams.

 

Black circles under your eyes,

from nights that you've cried. 

Scars on your back, 

that I know are from your attacks. 

 

Black little lies that you feed me,

but I know you still want to scream. 

Tears that you've cried,

and all the life that has died. 

 

Black eyes from all the punches I've taken, 

and all the gruesome mornings that you've awaken. 

Late nights hiding our true selves,

hiding the fact that we are rebels. 

 

Black holes upon holes,

Filled with blood. 

Black holes and emptiness, 

before we explode.

    Ask for help

    They tell you,

    But when you do,

    They refuse to give it,

     

    Be yourself

    They chant,

    But when you try,

    You're told to hide away.

    The light flickers in my bedroom

    as I brush my hair;

    I remember that theory that it’s someone dead trying to speak to you,

    I’m sure it’s just a thing from movies.
