Suffocate me
Wrap me in your arms
Don't let me breathe
Take all my air away
Squeeze the life out of me
Use all your passion
Let out all your anger
Abuse my lungs
Deplete my blood
Soak it all up
Suck me dry
Don't leave anything behind
Put it in you veins
Steal what was mine
Grow from the blue
Change it to red
Slice me open
Let my insides spill out
See my heart beat blankly
Wallow in the white
Play on my ribcage
Make music with my bones
Paint with my love
Write in my naive
Burn my remains
Spread my ashes on your skin
Have the wind blow me away
Can you feel me leaving you?
Shower me off
Watch me flow
I'll come beggi
I don't accept my smile
I don't allow myself happiness
There are too many questions
Not enough answers
I don't want professional help
I don't want to be told I'm wrong
You have all the right things to say
But there are no right solutions
I want to be free
I want to be loved
I'm chained down by this curse
Held by unbreakable chains
I want to laugh and not regret it
I want to feel something other than guilt
Confusion weighs down acceptance
Disappointment is all I know for sure
I can't find the strength
I can't dig deep enough
Motivation is lost
Inspiration to live is hidden just too well
I can't look at myself in the mirror
Jealous of your laughter
Jealous of your smile
The grass is greener on the other side
Look at how happy
Look at all the friends
You're torturing me with no end
But I never knew the truth
But I never saw the lies
You were a master of the hide
Behind the curtain
Behind the wall
I could just see it all
Nothing's like it seems
Nothing was how it appeared
Further than skin deep you live in fear
Stay silent with your tears
Stay covered in your scars
You wish you could go so far
I thought my life was hard
I envied your masquerade
I didn't realize that I had it made
Felt no true pain
Felt nothing more than a scratch
Compared to
Words, words
That's all I hear
Beg, plead
I still don't care
Yell, shout
You're not getting through
Blah, blah
That's all from you
Talk, talk
It doesn't matter
Whine, cry
It's all just clatter
Silence, quiet
That's not what I meant
Actions, moves
They're things better spent
Am I something too repulsive
when I wake you up in the middle of the night
in my fits of loneliness
I guess it's not enough of a sacrifice
when it's about you
her
you
Am I the summer breeze that was left behind
whose cool breath
only entertained you for a moment
I am the shadow
that the twinkle of your eyes does not light up
The bruises forming on my limbs in the darkness
are the result of your words
And yet you have the right
to forget.
