Rock Bottom
Can you feel me barely breathing?
Upon your arm; incessant beating
A lonely heart inside my chest
Slowing only to be put to rest.
Cn you hear me barely talking?
An empty corpse upright and walking
A hungry girl, a drug abuser
"Look at her! What a loser!"
Can you smell my perfume long gone?
The lingering scent of a life lived wrong.
Bones protrude in gentle warning.
Still, "It's like she doesnt try in the morning."
Can you see me barely being?
Just a shadow without feeling.
Hoping for a saving grace
before i'm gone without a trace.
Can you taste my presence here?
Just a ghost that's barely there.
When you asked if i was eating, i lied
But still, i loved you, because you tried.
But you can't save me.
