An old friend

It’s been a while
Since I’ve seen your face
I thought I was finally
Rid of this place

The place we first met
The place I am now
I can’t stay away
I just don’t know how

You bring me down
To this place I know well
It’s a scary thought
That reminds me of Hell

When I am at my weakest
You know just what to do
You take my hand
You see right through

The mask I present
For all to see
Is not whats real
It isn't truly me

You know this secret
Is the worst thing of all
Cause with this knowledge
You force me to fall

With one quick sweep
And one fatal blow
You take away everything
I’ve worked hard to know

My silver friend
Stained with my tears
You're the only one
Who I fear
