down this bleak path
get into bed alone
for the thousandth
night in a row
you only keep track
of the days to keep
yourself miserable
just a lazy dreamer
wondering why the
love of your life
has never knocked
on your door
long since failed to
ever learn the lesson
of going out to seek
the stubborn like
to believe it’s a
practice in patience
soon the voices
become mixed
and take you
down this bleak
path
where you never
have to blame
yourself
another lesson
missed
spare the pity
and turn your
hatred inward
shoot out the
mirrors
no one wants to
see what’s next
