I walk along the glistening shore line
Gallivanting with disdain and malevolence
Overrun with thoughts and dreams
My thoughts are dismembered
My dreams are unwanted
My body in utter chaos
My mind under such duress
The blood has stopped flowing
But the wounds not yet healed
This heart is open
Too wide, in my minds eye
But it only wants to let you in
