[Bitten Words] by Miles Willis
Sometimes I scare myself
When I get like
This when I see
Everything as clear and
Different. The World starts
To move without me
On it and I get
Frightened I can’t breathe
What the hell is happening. Please
Don’t leave me alone with
Myself tonight.
I think maybe I’m
Losing my mind but
Can’t be ‘cause it’s already
Lost to the wolves that
I let out the day
When I gave up
Trying to be better. Please
Don’t leave me alone with
My demons tonight.
Don’t know what to
Do. Think I’m losing
You. Don’t go I
Can try again harder
Than the times before
I won’t drift. I’ll
Close the door in my
Mind and keep the voices
Inside. Please
Don’t leave me alone with
My ghosts tonight.
The World starts to
Move without me on
It. I close my eyes
Try to pretend I
Feel something—Lies.
There is only me
And all other finer
Points of Hatred
And Greed and
Love are gone. Please
Just leave me alone with
Myself tonight.
