Listen

Listen

Drag the blades across my skin
Feel the sweet relief
Careful I don’t push to hard
Cut my sweet life brief

Now I feel the sliding guilt
Try to hide the blood
You won’t see it anyway
I doubt you even could

You wouldn’t even notice
If I slipped beneath the tide
Drowning in the water
Created by my lies

You blindly lead me forward
My mouth gagged and bound
Because every word I utter
Lies unheard on the ground

I try to speak so openly
You always cut me short
I try to explain my feelings
You laugh and pull me taught

Is it any wonder that
I fell for someone new
When u can’t give me the time of day
You don’t care what I do.
