you must untangle yourself from the nets of my mind so you too can swim into the sea of confusion threw me into cold deep waters did you know I couldn't swim? it's easier to ignore the guilt just do whatever's best for you I've lost the knife to cut you loose I'm not even sure I care to so if you strangle for a minute? you've already slaughtered me please leave
"Could you name a shortcoming of yours?" and I stutter- I stop after nights of practice mindless rehearsing this should not be the question that turns me to a boulder hurls me off the cliff so I shatter while bystanders thank their lucky stars they weren't hit I've named thousands thanks to you but now the pain has muted me "I am shy" it's a lie
unattached; the deadliest affliction not connected to anything, anyone not owning a reason, to stay to see a glimmer of hope in your friend's smile your father's words your mother's hug nothing it wouldn't be worth it
nothing hurts more than anything the feeling; there is no feeling the thought I'll never think again this complete nothingness that is me there were nights I'd lie awake with tears but nights have passed now I lie awake with fears for my future; the emptiness it contains
water droplets hanging suspended on foggy glass obscuring my vision of a gray, hazy world a dark eternity why do I strain to see out; to the bleak the hopeless still I wipe the glass clean and with seeing forlorn I close my eyes
not quite deserving the love I have been given not quite no, I cannot return it for I am broken yet I love thee but dare not risk, my own emotions my own heart so easily broken no I must act, pretend, feign to not care
