Slowly

Eating away the sanity that was so secure just a short time ago.

You don't know whether you'll make it

The unknown

The memories that slowly cut you

The unknown

"Will I have this again"

Each blow

Harder than the first

...and yet each time you stand up.

Only to get knocked down harder

By

...the unknown.

Because your mind is racing

"How can I survive when I don't know what's next"

Living day by day

Survival is a bitch

Because you're told its the right thing to do

Says who?

Everything you planned

Smashed

By the unknown

You sit there broken, wanting to be healed

And still fearing the unknown

"His eyes were unknown

The sweetest unknown I'd ever seen.

They were something I wanted to know.

I wanted to fall deep inside the unknown that was him.

I wanted to know what he hid from everyone else.

Just to know ....... You know?

He slipped through my fingers

And everything I thought I knew

Slipped into the unknown

And I was left knowing nothing."

And if I had just knew nothing or knew everything

My mind might be at ease.

Here I sit again

Halfway in

...into the unknown
