It's late and only a trickle of light shines through the window.

It's just enough for me to see the trickle of blood flow

From the small self inflicted wound.

 

A stray tear falls from my eye.

I inhale and hold the breath for a moment.

The pain of the wound sets in.

 

I'm busted up and broken

Contemplating life and all it takes away.

I'm busted up and broken

As my world just fades away.

 

Insomnia sets in and it's driving me crazy.

The ticking of the clock becomes louder and louder

Deafening me to the point of insanity.

 

I'm busted up and broken

Trying desperately to sleep.

I'm busted up and broken

The last bit of sanity escapes me.

 

I'm feeling jittery now

I can't stand the sound of the clock

Standing up suddenly I rip it off the wall and chuck it across the room

 

I'm busted up and broken

I'm having a panic attack now

I'm busted up and broken

Nowhere left to turn, nowhere left to run

 

I fall to my knees and cry

The panic attack faded

The pain of the wound dissipating

The sound of the clock gone

 

I'm left with a cold feeling

I'm busted up and broken

 

Just busted up and broken
