i dread the day you learn for the first time that you can't just love all the darkness in me away and no matter how much you care i will still toss and turn at night and scars might still appear on my skin i dread the day you realize that you can't cure me and sometimes all you can do is stand next to me and hold my hand through fog pouring out of my ears so black and thick we can't even see each other's faces i dread the days i can't get out of bed the days you want to take me out and all i can manage is a prettified shell of myself i dread the day you learn that sometimes no matter how hard i try i still can't pull myself together the day you learn that there isn't an answer you can give that will save me from my fears you aren't the first person who has tried to love the darkness inside away my family and friends have given it their all but someday you too will learn that if love could cure mental illness the world would be a much better place

i dread the day
That was the end the last day the last goodbye the train was waiting it has been three years me, you and us you came to see me off That last hug which never came. Did we say bye? It was all silent.

Last hug
Into the solitary arm Within the silent calm In the story without you Your absence sinks In the truth and the absurd In the pretensions and the substance While I cling to the other Your earthly hour rings So live a lie You will help. So live a lie. It will help. For the truth isn't on your side. The lie will always be.
