Sleepin' In My Clothes (Language)

[TDCass]

Sleepin' In My Clothes, Part 1

Brokenhearted again
I guess it's not that suprising
Gave her my heart
But her malice was rising
I gave her my soul, my love, my past
And now I realize that
Nothing real can ever last
Like an ice sculpture before
The overbearing lord of summer

I'm sleepin' in my clothes
Can't find a reason to take 'em off
You could say that I'm medicated
Sedated, et cetera
To keep me from finding the
One she went to ded with
I lay on my bed and just
Stare at the ceiling

I feel like I'm inside out
Faced
The mirror with an inside out
Race
Against my mind hoping to find
Space
To crawl back into
To find someone to love again.

Sleepin' In My Clothes, Part 2 (Midnight and Seeing Red)

Now that the sadness is gone
You just left me with rage
In this cage of remembrance
Starstruck by the reverance
You hold to someone who was never real
That ****ing fake you crawled to
Like a ****ing snake
I trusted you/Confided
The whole time you lied
And I'm shattered and broken
Just laying on this couch
And I don't know who'll hold me
Cause I want to curl into a ball and cry
And I hate the ****ing weakness
I'm sleepless
Sleepin' in my clothes
Cause you took my reason
To be/breathe/need/feel safe
In this ****in' world
Live, work, make money and then we die
For a fleeting second I thought I saw something more
But it was all a lie you snatched away
At the very last second
You ****in' broken record
And then so bold when the truth came out
Get your ****ing voice off my voicemail.

Sleepin' In My Clothes, Part 3 (The Morning After)

I woke up on a couch
Streaks of falling star tears
On my cheeks
Deep scratches up and down my back
First thing I can say
"Oh damn, not again..."
I spent the night dancing
Fueled by euphoria
A dangerous drug of an emotion
And fell so far
The falling star
Mutilated again, in need of a friend
I don't even know who I am anymore
I can look in the mirror
And just see an inside out facade
I can see a reflection
But it's one that isn't mine
I need to break the manacles
Break these chains/veins/memories
Escape this jail cell mentality
With the key I can never find
To let someone pick me up
Only to cast me back down
A falling star
Seconds from impact.

I really don't know what to say. ...It left me speechless.
But if anyone were to read it again, listen to this while doing so.

That was simply amazing. I usually don't approve of swearing in poetry, but in this one it really brings out the life of it.

Wow. Reading that was exhilarating. Your word choice was perfect, and the flow was superb. I like how the poem explains itself, and you say as much possible in few words. I just... thoroughly enjoyed reading it,
