stay

June 17, 2016

leave

i am sick

my mind is sick

my heart's lost its fullness

but beats sadly onwards

stay

i can't bear you to leave

you are full

you are well

you give these beats meaning

and really

but really

i'm really

not worth it

if you knew i was worthless

would you stay here beside me?

this blackened heart

this sickened mind

these fragile bones

and all i know

is you're my home
