Tried waiting
Too frustrating
Tried passing the time
Ended up feeling empty
Thought I’d be just fine
That was just a lie

Tried distraction
Reeked of desperation
Tried decadence
Filled me with despair
Thought stripping down to basics
Would help, but no

Tried sharing
Ended up with a cracked heart
Tried defilement
Too much destruction
Thought nobody’d notice
If I tripped the light fantastic

Tried not caring
That was another lie
