Angry Conscience
By Cory S.N. LaViska
September 5, 2008
Inside your head and all through your mind
There’s a broken dream that you left behind
It comes in and goes out, but it never leaves
You hide and you struggle, you suffer and grieve
Face to face, but you’re looking away
Pretending it’s night when it’s damn well the day
Refusing to go back because maybe it hurts
You dig yourself deeper, just making it worse
Accidents, apologies, regrets and mistakes
All the memories that made your heart ache
Are left there to live and dwell in your head
While they eat you alive and throw you up dead
But you’re stubborn and still and you won’t even talk
You just gaze at the stars and sneer at the clock
Like you have all the time a man possibly could
To tell her you love her, like you probably should
