CAVING IN

Flaunting a smile,
while opening the door.
Cracking lame jokes,
little do they know.

I'm lost in my own world,
following a shadow.
Little by little,
I'm letting the darkness grow.

I'm caving in,
and locking out.
Everything that mattered once,
is now falling apart.

Blurred lines and broken walls,
tell the stories of,
lost battles and leftover scars.
I'm caving in, and blocking out.
What once was mine,
is now, lost.
