A New Smile

Opening up the bathroom door your broken soul rests on the floor.
Your corpse drowning alive with open fear, that there was no one. Nothing there.
A hopeless life that burns through prosterity, to you it was an eternal, misery lingering reality.

Your gashed up anatomy, sent shivers right through me, a helpless medication. Atmosphere subdued me. Looking at you, my cold blooded reflection, if I held on to misery, your death would be my future depiction. Now I know that our acts were wrong. These scars aren’t an answer, they were never a song, which would end and descend, just an addiction of our inner afflictions.
This was a battle for freedom and peace, but we only hurt ourselves and channeled inner grief. We Drank to forget, smoked to ease the pain, but the only green we needed was on the other side, where we needn’t run and hide. We could change, find salvation, overdosing would never be a recreation. Not for ourselves or another, tonight I had to sit and hold our mother. So she wouldn’t loose it. She kept eyeing up the bottle, but I didn’t want her to misuse it. Those things could make anyone forget, but it’ll never disappear, I’ll never drink again, for you that I swear.

Now I sit with you while you rest tonight, watching your face, makeup in disgrace. You’d hate it in a mess, but your soul was unaddressed, not a care, nothing there, no one to call, no one to see, no one to love, everything was wrong, So I turned on the radio and waited for our favourite song. I stayed up all night for the sound, so tired my face met the chilled, tiled ground. Looking straight at you, my cold blooded reflection. This was always one of my fears. That you’d have enough to sleep forever, this I thought’d be never, but never is now. So where are you now?

And here’s the song, you and I have waited for, the beautiful sound we once adored, I remember when this tune brought us closer together. Our most loved song we’d love throughout time, forever.
So now I smile and lie with you tonight,
It felt right with us together again. You were my mother; father, brother, sister and friend.
I held your hand now, so you’d never be alone. Through it all you’ll always have a place in my home, in my heart, sticking to it like a board with a dart.

I’m getting restless now, blacking out, my head falls to bow. I should leave before the curtains blink over my eyes, but to my surprise, I notice a something, can it be? A new smile? I think maybe I’ll stay…only for you… Just for awhile.
