When the Symphony Ends

A Poem by Brandon Mathis

With all these feelings inside

I feel afflicted to try to cry

I am addicted to the way you deny it

It is so beautiful when you open your eyes

And I am lost when have to close them

But it was a wonderful symphony when it all ends

How do I fill this emptiness on the inside?

You don’t know what it is like

You’re an addiction that I can’t throw away

Please, won’t this all just go away?

I can feel the weight on my shoulders

And I feel as though I am so cold

With no life to call my own

I’m sick of this day by day

When does this all come to an end?

It’s like this is permanently printed on my brain

I try to scratch it away,

With a vengeance

But I can’t find the itch

It always seems like I’m on the outside looking in

Please somebody make this all quit

The cravings are coming back

Get out of my head or I’ll never get ahead

I want more but I fear death more

I don’t want to have to be laid to rest

I don’t want these drugs to steal my last breath

So I pick myself up and get back on track

Another day lost to a weathered soul

But the next day will be mine

I am surrounded by people to keep me in place

Maybe I’ll see the light,

Grab hold and never let go

I have been trying for so long

For awhile I didn’t think I really belonged

But when I open my eyes, I see your face

Now I know everything is going to be all right
