They say that only the good die young, I guess I’ll live forever. I’ve been trying for forever to get a little better. I’ve been lying for a while, I untether. I’ve been dead inside for years riding the surging tides of all this stormy weather. I confess that I’m a monster hurting innocents. In a sense I think if I would die that you could mend. Worth mentioning that I’m still dying trying to make amends. I said that last line to my demons, now we’re good ol’ friends. I’m glad you see right through the lies and through my ignorance. I doubt I’ll ever see the light again - no recompense. You have no tolerance for me - and I don’t want you to. Why should you let a beast like me lay next to you? This ain’t a petting zoo. I hate the half of me that’s empty - full of apathy. He hates the other half that tries and tries to make you happy. I hope you sleep well tonight, my love, and have sweet dreams. I’ll be in the doghouse - ignore the screaming and the laughing.
