Stealing My Sanity

You were here
and then without a goodbye
you were gone.
Now even though your
not here,
You're stealing my sanity.
Pushing me past the point
of no return.
Now here I sit,
staring in the mirror.
I see a shadow of who I
once was.
Seeking a reason to continue
this tortured existence
When it would be so
easy to end this meaningless life.
I firmly grip the bottle I hold
in my hands
My heart is racing,
My head is rushing with last
minute thoughts
Most of which you occupy
If I don't do it now
I never will
But I know that I can't live
like this anymore.
I can't move on so my
only choice is to end it.
A handful of little blue pills and
the deed is done
I close my eyes and wait for
the spinning to stop
You took my sanity,
I'm taking my life.
