Dark & Dangerous

Dark and dangerous thoughts dance across my clutter mind
trying to force their way into my everyday actions.

Looking out into the world through unseening glazed eyes
trouble begins to seep into my pores.

My safe haven, my refuge
now feels like it's been invaded.

Knowing that I may hurt the ones I love
I back away to watch from afar.

I stand there trembling in unknown fear
for I know that eventually they will all melt away.

Every one I thought I could trust and thought I loved
walk towards the fading light of the day.

No one looks back, no one says wait
I stand there and wipe the tear from my eye.
