My tear soaked pillow mourns the absence of drought
The piles of tissues in the corner regret their existence
My heart begs to beat again and feel the warm embrace
The confusion sets in with unbearable force
If only I were perfect would you like me? Would you come back?
Would you realize that your words sting like sandpaper?
Or when I cry it feels like acid
If only you understood what really happened
If you could only listen

Yet as I pull the stainless steel up my arm
My emotions are gone, I just feel numb
I ardour watching as my skin torn asunder

I am much too frail for this world.
I see I am alive for nothing. I don’t think I’d ever be able to kill myself, but most of the time it feels as if I am sticking around only to please the people that care for me. I am not living for me, I am living for them.
I am also accustomed to existing. Old habits die hard.
