Hungry Ghosts
I felt the bullet as it lodged its way
through to the back of my head
when I looked in the
mirror, I saw no red
it seemed almost as if an angel
dodged the steel to save me
A noble act of bravery, she’s
rather courageous isn’t she?
I got up and out of bed, have
I been dreaming all of this up?
Is it that I've made
my skin is too tough?
While I'm still weak, are my
bones just not strong enough?
I can’t seem to remember what
happened during my dreariness,
when I decided to replace my
emotions with fearlessness
When did everything
right turn so wrong?
Why am I alive on this realm
when I know that I don’t belong?
Where are you
my strange angel?
Is this your way of telling
me about how you feel?
to all those I’ve lost
throughout the years,
I’ve had to cut away at you
with a sharp pair of sheers,
I wish you nothing but the best,
whether you’re deserving or not
I have to warn you that if you use up all
your chances, you might just get caught
