Pain

When I saw the look

on your face

I felt I no longer

had a place

 

In your heart

I was gone

I thought that I'd

done something wrong

 

The tears sting fire

on my cheek

I know now

that I am weak

 

I said I'd stop

the harm and depression

But your words make

a lasting impression

 

The world fades

to soft bland greys

I can't help

but remember those ways

 

How you held me

in your arms

How there was no need

to be alarmed

 

I said I don't need you

but I think I lied

I want you

you can't say I never tried

 

I put out my best

and gave my all

You held it all in

and let me fall

 

Now I'm here

my arms staining red

All the pain and memories

filling my head

 

I ask to be saved

but all you show is hate

It doesn't matter anyway

now you're too late
