Relapse
The mirror reflects empty
I'm left naked counting bones
The scale becomes a jail
and the bathroom becomes a home
emotions become useless
heart cracks
beneath nothing but stone
When you live your life
by numbers
it's guaranteed you'll die alone.
So many secrets
all must stay unknown
All the pain felt
must continue unshown..
Muscles on fire
body aches and groans
but none of this matters
so long as I can see
bones.
