Yesterday
I thought I heard you saying
That you had wanted to leave again

Just last night
I thought I heard you praying
When did you start to believe again


As you slept
Converged on by your demons
They'd reinvoke your fears

As you dreamt
Confronted by your secrets
You woke in sweat and tears


The sun possessed your eyes
Hunted by the light
Trapped within a cage

The whispers in your mind
Haunting like a blight
Feeding on your rage

Grew a nervous tick
To your own image
Lashing at the surface

Threw a vicious fit
Through it with a fist
Leaving me in fragments


Though you left
I couldn't help but follow
Watching closely from afar

Through the glass
Searching for tomorrow
But nothing you foresaw


In the rain
Fending off the voices
My face appeared before your eyes

In the end
Reflecting on your choices
There was no place left to hide


Yesterday
I heard you self conversing
Always craving to be free

Just last night
I heard you contemplating
Having overcome your fears


The pieces on the ground
Within you saw yourself
And found a true escape

Grabbed the broken glass
Bleeding from your hands
Time to relieve the pain

Placed it on the skin
Tracing down the vein
Deeper than the scars

Blood came running warm
Trickling down your arms
Bringing you the darkness
