Toxic Thoughts

A Poem by Lavi

Musing the pursuit of fleeting happiness

The thoughts inside my head are killing me slowly

Like a song that forever plays its woeful tune

It's album returns to the beginning now wholly

My mind is replaced by a dark typhoon

My happiness is fleeting

Darkness consumed my heart long ago

Rendering my soul ever searching its wayward beating

Uncertain of its living I may never know

By now I thought I'd be used this feeling

This pain I should be used to bearing

But everyday it hurts me concealing

How my hope has decayed as I'm left despairing

How can a person wake me up from this nightmare?

A single moment had breathed my life back into me

Desire has replaced the poison in the air

Suddenly its enough for me to simple be

If I felt all my loss now I'd be broken

No matter who in this world makes me feel like I'm unbroken
