if i close my eyes


here i lay in quiet thought
and wonder where i'm at
lost inside this dying shell
but no one seems to see that
just carry on through daily chore
each one is done in haste
and look back to fond memories
which have left behind a bitter taste
who is left to light the way
who's the one to see
who's the one who takes each step
who's the one i call "me"
tattered and torn and left for dead
the heart has shattered, the blood has bled
nothing left...nothing said
just leave me lying in this bed
jumbled thoughts and words awry
all feelings gone...no tears to cry
each new thought, same as the last
keep going 'round...spinning fast
will it stop?...will it end?
or will my sanity still descend
deeper still, i crawl inside
if i close my eyes...will i die?
