Repetition

Open up the wounds
let the heartache flow again
watch me turn to my addictions
and let temptation be my guide
Ill quell the pain with thoughts of lust
drown the tears in temporary joys
as Im tripping up the stairs of life
falling on every step I climb
Its a blind charge through endless repetition
running into doors Ive closed
with a history of lies
I cant do the things I love anymore
I only love one thing now
and it calls to me
at times like these
like a lover lost in the night
it finds me with open arms
and pulls me aside
Am I strong enough to win this fight?
Can I do this all again?
As my strength cracks and breaks
I see how Ive lied to myself
about the twisted merry-go-round Im riding
and how long I can hold on
before Im hurled aside for good
Because even though theres determination
lurking within my eyes
I can still feel myself fading
disappearing within my mind
There is no exit from this place
There is no victory to be found
Just another day of trials
another day to watch myself grow weak
Its just my fate
and the cross I bear
watching life turn around
spinning with the hands of the clock
opening up everything that was old
memories I tried to forget
become new again
and Im sliding
As I'm racing to the end
holding on as strong
as my shattered heart will allow
waiting until I finally slip
and drift into nothingness
losing myself for good
and forever ending
this senseless repetition

WOW!! I can't believe I am reading this!! This poem encompasses so many of the emotions I've felt in the past year or so... but I could never dream of expressing it so eloquently... Fortunately for me, I got off the roller-coaster before I was flung off... Thanks for sharing this.....
