fatally fragile

a melody of malaise

illicit drugs

and whiskey-fuelled days.

♠

mortally manic

a hysteria of fear

tempered anger

and the pain from that lost year.

♠

brokenly beaten

a shadow of regret

bruised ego

and a memory to forget.

♠

staggering strength

a hope to renew

trusted soul

and the refuge i find in you.
