Broken things
Huge Trigger warning- This talks about my childhood abuse and how it made me suicidal-
Slamming doors, broken glass
Replaying words from the past
Empty bottles, angry hearts
Praying to God, before another nightmare starts
Bloody knuckles, ringing ears
A soft pillow, filled with tears
Bruised skin, Broken door
Slient tears, she cried a little more
Begging prayers, on my knees
I can’t anymore, Lord take this please
In my sweaty palm, i held the pills
He got what he wanted, he had his fill
They didn’t lie, his words do kill
My friends who love me so, would they care if i didn’t show
I can’t tell them again, they already know
This pain i’m feeling, with the damage to show
This kind of pain that hurts like hell, not a soul i would dare tell
Do I have to lie again, and say i fell
No one knows my pain, I’m a good liar when i say i’m okay
Maybe it’s my fault, in some messed up way
I don’t know if i can make it one more day
I know he drank too much, but why i do have to pay
I’ll try to sleep, even when he cut me deep
I’ll leave it God to fix these things
Seas of black, rip my wings
I guess we all have broken things
