Blanket of Nothing

Blanket of Nothing

A Poem by Travis Prino

My smile hides

the pain inside of my heart

this lonely road

leads us to miles apart

my face disguised

the fear is overwhelming

this road I'm on

keeps me from ever knowing


when you said you loved me

I believed every word

and when you said you're leaving

I couldn't believe what I had heard

and when you came back again

my heart it felt alive

and when you left me again

I almost died

but I won't let you get the best of me this time


my eyes they hide

the demons confined in my head

this solitude

is slowly breaking the skin

the compromise

is more than I could ever take

this loss of blood

is just another cut I've made


when you said you loved me

I believed every word

and when you said you're leaving

I couldn't believe what I had heard

and when you came back again

my heart it felt alive

and when you left me again

I almost died

but I won't let you get the best of me this time


I know I won't find a cure

to the pain that you caused

but I'm willing to fake it

so you can't tell that I'm lost

and as this blanket of nothing

quickly covers my life

I hope you don't try to find me

I hope you don't realize

that the pain that you're feeling

yea, I've felt that pain too

and when you're longing for someone

remember when I held you

your whole body will stiffen

silence pierces to the nerve

and you will finally have nothing

finally get what you deserve


when you said you loved me

I believed every word

and when you said you're leaving

I couldn't believe what I had heard

and when you came back again

my heart it felt alive

and when you left me again

I almost died

but I won't let you get the best of me this time


no, I won't let you get the best of me this time.
