Why you die

April 7, 2018

Everything hurts

Every breath feels like fire burning through your lungs

Yet it's so cold that you freeze before you burn

You're frozen

Nowhere to turn//

You try to cry but the tears won't fall

You try to scream but your voice keeps breaking

You try to run away but you're chained by the pain//

Pain needs somewhere to go

So you end up with scars

Unexplained scars

Scars making up for tears//

You aren't asking for much

All you want is someone to turn to

A shoulder to cry on

For your tears to be shed while someone holds you

Someone cares

Someone who actually knows you

Isn't just looking through another side of your kaleidoscope world //

You just want love

To love and to be love

But love never comes//

So what's the point in being alive when you aren't living just surviving

You aren't wanted

You aren't loved//

So the knife cuts through your skin

The voices come saying "they care when you're dead..."

It never got to finish and say "because they loved all along."//
