Desperation

The emotion that consumes my being
Forever undying
I find myself constantly lying
It’s burning my insides, frying

It drags you under
It shoots you down like a hunter
Bullet wounds I suffer
And I will never recover

It’s more than just an emotion
Drink it up like a poisonous potion
So now you sit not making a motion
Stare at the wall and forget the commotion

Your world is collapsing around you
There’s not a single thing you can do
The darkness is what you stick to
My life is now askew
