Letters & Testaments


Dear me me with eyes full of tears 
Dear me with the heart full of fears 
Dear me with the want to disappear 
Dear me I know it's been years 
And you feel that nothing's changed but look at you you're here 
Remember I wrote this letter for you wanting better for you 
And this first draft for the hard past 
Back in that time where your needs and desires clashed 
So dear me remember on your knees 
Crying out lord please 
Wonder if your parents could handle screaming dear me see you hanging from a tree 
Does anyone care if you bleed 
But dear me lets do a throwback 
To when you got God to take your sin and give his love back 
To that day when in the sunshine 
You met the love of your life the divine 
So dear me why forget that now that sitting here 
Do you think that God is somehow unprepared 
But oh dear me I can't really talk 
I'm a hypocrite take a hit as I'm writing this 
Slashing it can't handle this 
Because this is the third time 
This day blood has dripped down in red lines 
Maybe I'm extreme maybe I'm fine 
But if I was fine I'd know why I'm crying 
How can you be high but so low at the same time 
Dear me sorry I got off track 
This wasn't supposed to bring the pain back 
I guess I should cut myself 
Some slack 
I mean I try but you know 
Dear me I need to focus 
Dear me I should've wrote this 
At a better time 
So I could give it some design 
Oh well to late I just hope that when you read this you hear 
Know that God is always near 
And as you clean and cover up your scars send a prayer up to the stars 
And just open up your heart 
Dear me please hold these words close too 
Dear me I can't handle the thought of losing you 
Dear me dear me I don't even know if you're there 
Dear me dear me I hope you never disappear 
Cuz dear me I know I might not make it several years 
And I'm hoping you can read this but I know you're mentality's impaired
And I know you don't think anyone would care if you went and died 
Dear me I know cuz I have that hurt inside  
So dear me I put the gun down and so can you 
Please don't let the sleeping pills and belt take away your youth 
So dear me and dear God I hope you can live 
And dear me I hope I can talk to you again 
Dear me dear me I just wish that I was more 
 
Truly yours,
Yourself
