Alive in the Mind

Alive in the mind

I can see the hurt in your gaze
In the corner I crouch crying alone
No one hears me or cares
My reflection is hate, heart of no home
I’m reaching for more than I deserve
They misunderstand me and digress
Taken hold of my soul burning to hell
I’m drained, aimless

Like dawn approaching, I squint eyes tight
Blind overwhelmed, but no strength to fight
Living rich in memories bring a twinge of a smile
Absent from present, alive in the mind

And I’m persevering to love you less
As it starves me and I come undone
I’m weak without defence
Loving you ain’t no fun
And it’s hard to move on
When you’re looking like that
So radiant effortless, I slip
Loving you more, I’m lost and trapped

Like dawn approaching, I squint eyes tight
Blind overwhelmed, but no strength to fight
Living rich in memories bring a twinge of a smile
Absent from present, alive in the mind

I watch you walk around with others
I smile a courteous bitter smirk
I’ll watch you rise through the ranks
As I wallow in the dirt
Jealous with no right
Shrinking back in to my dark roots
But nothing it seems
Can distract me from you

Like dawn approaching, I squint eyes tight
Blind overwhelmed, but no strength to fight
Living rich in memories bring a twinge of a smile
Absent from present, alive in the mind
