Old Souls Fable

I have a old soul I’ve been told
For this existence I would never have enrolled
If only they knew the burden of the worn
I am sure they would forlorn
 
I scream in silence
Head is poisoned with violence
No one knows of my despair
With all the masks I wear

Though I stay strong for one
But my head tells me to run
Who am I to ruin innocence?
To act with such arrogance

As time goes by the purity fades
And the shadows of truth cascades
For I have been loving a imposter
Dark shades of truth revels monster

They utter that they don’t care
If only they knew of this despair
Would those feelings remain?
Now my happiness has been slain

The air thins each day
With each moment they stay
Planting emotional snares
Too much darkness to bear

With each lie they spew
I feel the déjà vu
Familiar trembles possessing
Stomach knots compressing

Dead breath escapes my chest
Crippling me from protest
But when they are through,
This event long over due

Leaves me on my bathroom floor
Broken to the core
My rabbit hole, blood stained
Riddled with claw marks and pain

Memories are left to taunt those who seek
Leaving my soul mangled and weak
Fillings my veins with regret
Head swimming in threats

This pain is paralyzing
These battle wounds demoralizing
I feel the cold blade kiss my raw skin
With every stroke darkness wins

Draining my pain away
My sadness seeps in vain
For I have lost the war
But this peace I adore

Fear engulfs me as I realize
Bringing me to revitalize
Where will I be going?
There was no light showing

But with a swift snatc[/font]h
My demise dispatched[/font]
