it's been 3 years
5 months
24 days
since i last hurt myself.

today i can say
it's been 2 hours
47 minutes
15..16..17 seconds
since i last hurt myself.

and you find yourself alone again
you realize that this isn't a phase
it's the overwhelming trend

there's miles still to go
and days before you sleep
it's been 27 years and
you still don't know what it is you need

your neck cramps up
your back aches
your eyes burn
your hand shakes

you say you don't care
but oh, you do
repeat til they all believe
but you know it's never been true

get home
find they're all gone
dry your eyes
and drive on

if i'm being honest with you...
i haven't been honest with you.

she doesn't give me what i want
no, i don't know exactly what that is
but i know it isn't this
Anthem Dec 2016
and i know you're tortured by the taste
and the thoughts of what you've left
you tried to impose order
but instead it's still a mess
we tend to follow feelings
instead of what we're told
i've never felt so alone
i've never felt so cold
maybe love and logic
are mutually exclusive
what room is there for logic
when we return to love abusive
as i turn for one last look
at that ****** place
how strange it is to see
in the middle of hell, an angels face
i stifle all the tears
and i am never come back
hopefully the next one
makes up for what i lack
Anthem Dec 2016
and i don't care
what you say
i will drink
the pain away
cause i'd rather die
and say i tried
than sit and think about you
for one more day
Anthem Dec 2016
not in my life
but on my mind
i'll never forgive
all the stolen time
i might never
match your thievery
change of mind
change of scenery
but distance is useless
your ghost follows me everywhere
and i'm still wasting time
telling myself i don't care
