Extinguished

Extinguished

Around and around and around
we go again....
Why can you not be happy ?
Always fighting 
Always roaring 
Always making me cry 

Curse you damn it
Why do I still stay?
You are addictive in your bright moments 
until morning comes again
magic wears away leaving
nothing but a dull reality.

I look in the mirror 
I dont see anyone i recognize.
Who is this weary looking scraggler? 
Bruised and beaten.

You leave me,
and expect me to be here when you return?
I can't take it anymore.
I can't.

Swirling sighs
Wisps of smoke
A life that's lived without a goal
