Holding each other
Simply being side by side
The clock hands tick away
Always moving forward
While we stay behind here
In This warm happiness
My body can’t accept it
a gaping hole in the middle of the void that is the sky
my husk of body and heart that should be tender
Are wretchedly deformed with a lifetime of un healing wounds
Completely perverted by now…
Please Only Give me love if it’s dripping with my blood
Until my heart stops, make it hurt more than this.
Everything is spinning around in whirlwinds of anxiety
And so…
Your kindness is torture.
You’re so gentle with me
And I wish that this could last
Being here with you
Foolishly hoping that it will be forever
This tiny piece of happiness
My heart just can’t take it
To tell you the truth, I’m completely twisted
The fact is, nothing can be done for me
Endure it, keep fighting, endure it.
I’m so covered in scars, it’s hard to tell anymore
If I am
Me
Kiss me just so you can taste my blood
I’m just so broken, I want a substitute
Claw out my eyes and rip me apart
Dance to the melody of my cracking bones
And build a replacement for this worthless body
But you never do
Everything is spinning in whirlwinds of anxiety
And so…
I’m lonely
Forever
