The mindless games start to make my eyes water.  

Red piece.  Blue piece.  Green piece.  

I’m just trying to clean the slate.

Line.  Level.  Score.

I must distract my mind to hold back the real tears.

Drip. Drip. Drop.

Shallow thoughts to keep the mind from going deeper.

Rip.  Tear.  Scream.

Keep the eyes from finding the mirror.

Slam.  Crash.  Crack.

Keep the mind empty to stifle the pain.

Kiss.  Touch.  Fuck.

But it always seems to find me once more.

Shot.  Drag.  Swallow.

But in the end there is only darkness.

Click.  Click.  Click.

And in the darkness there is only me.
