DarkPoetry -|- Dr Benway -|- If you were paying attention

If you were paying attention

If you were paying attention,you would have noticed me dying insideFaith in the faithless,Clawing at the blacknessWaiting for angels that never arriveIf you were paying attention,you would of heard me weeping.Hiding from nightmaresFumbling in the fogHolding out for words that are never spokenIf you were paying attention,you would of seen me leavingHaunted by regretPraying for absolutionAn ulcer of romance to which all others are judged.If you were paying attention,you would notice I don't care anymore...
