C'est La Vie (Such is Life)

What's wrong?

Surely you know

All of it.

Every little scrap

Of your being.

You're feeling like

You're going down.

All your wishes

Just falling short,

Every night.

Every day.

Stop it––

Just stop.

Stop wanting to die.

Stop hiding in shells.

Stop all the flooding

Of your deepest fears,

Of your primal urges.

Shudder to a stop.

End it all.

Love hurts, doesn't it?

Like a blade, buried

Within your chest.

Like a hot iron, pressed

To your temple.

You'd think,

With all that pain,

You'd stop.

But you can't–– You're

Addicted.

You push

You pull

It's a fight

To exist

Resisting,

Conceding,

Controlling,

Letting go.

Smiling,

Crying,

Sniffling,

Sobbing.

That's it.

That's how it ends.

You see,

That's all I want––

Tori.

Tell me what you think! 'cause I'm a crazy person who wants to know such things.
