Eyes Swollen Open

My eyes are open, but my mind is closed,
Not realizing reality, and what it holds,
I confuse whats real, with how I feel,
Not understanding truth, and how to deal,
With how to survive, when I don't feel alive,
All you do is plague my thoughts,
Just get out,
All you do is use my heart,
Just leave now,
All you do is tear me up,
Leave me here,
All alone,
Where there is no air,
I push myself too hard, I give that extra inch,
Only to crash down, to be looked at as a grinch,
You squeez so hard, sofocating my mind,
You leave me here, where there is only fear,
The red stains on my neck, have been there before,
I feel them burn, now where do I turn,
Remembering when, my head hit the floor,
Leaving me looking at myself, so insecure,
I've been through the pain, I've seen the end,
I know the story, like the back of my hand,
I can tell the future, because I remember the past,
All I have is the identity to a broken mask,
I tried so hard, to do what you wanted,
I sacrificed it all, and you never knew it,
You pushed me away, when I triedthe hardest,
All the damage I took, with the bruises to prove it,
I can't take it anymore, all the abuse I've been taking,
I won't hold in, the fury that's baking,
My insides explode, my stomach is bleeding,
I'm a foot from the edge, I'm tired of kneeling,
My eyes are swollen, and I just can't see,
Pain is nothing, that is new to me,
But I can't picture who I used to be,
All my sadness kills me,
How does that make you feel,
All the madness fills me,
Makes me want to kill,
And it fills me with pain,
Feel I'm breaking down,
As you sit back and watch,
Me kneel to the ground,
I pray everyday, that you were here,
But I live in fear, because i feel you near,
In the beginning it was all so clear,
But toward the end, I couldn't steer,
I couldn't steer straight, all I saw was black,
You led me here, right into you trap.
