Venom and Healing

Silent shadows creeping, feeling something ain’t right

Caught in the venom’s grip, beneath the neon light

Bath water steaming, wash away the pain

But the cuts still bleeding, haunting like a stain

Suffer in silence, hiding all my fears

Ouchie whispers echo, ringing in my ears

Fading into darkness, reaching for the dawn

Trying to mend the broken, but the pain goes on

Venom in my veins, I’m losing control

Bite the bitter truth, it’s taking its toll

Cut so deep, I’m bleeding out my soul

Suffer in the silence, no need to console

Ouchie in my heart, I’m breaking apart

This toxic love’s been tearing at my heart

Flicker of the night, can’t escape this fight

Bath can’t cleanse the scars, nor make it alright

Hold on to the hope, through the pain and the fear

Tomorrow’s just a dream, maybe it’s near

Venom fades away, new day’s in sight

Bath time for healing, after the night

Cuts may remain, but I’ll survive

Suffering’s a chapter, I’ll rewrite

Ouchie no more, I’ll find my way

Stronger than before, come what may
