I can feel the eyes on me. This bridge is beyond repair. I can’t help but walk along this path, The emerald moss is calling me. Something glints beyond the cliffs And I can’t help but follow. I feel shadows part around me The mist creeping in, I’m pretending not to notice. The sound of nothingness below me, Above me and everywhere else. It’s an eerie kind of silence. A dangerous kind of silence. A hand finds my own From out of the empty. Cold as ice But I don’t mind, It’s a pretty kind of pain. So I grip it tight, Let it pull me forward, Let it guide the way. I feel the cloak of darkness close behind me But I don’t care to turn around. I have to embrace the emptiness, Let it consume me And then let it all go.

Diamonds and Darkness
Why do you do that? Why do you cover your mouth like that? Do you think you’ll keep it all in? Has that ever worked before? Or is it to keep everything out? Has that worked either? Look at you, Look at what they made you. At what who made me? I couldn’t tell you that But I wasn’t meant to be like this, I swear I wasn’t. I catch glimpses of myself And I want to scream ‘Look at me! This was who I’m meant to be!’ And then I let her go And she leaves me behind. I could run after her But how much would it hurt? How much does everything hurt? Too much. Always just a little too much for me. So lie still And listen to your breath. Remember when it left you, How much you begged to breathe again. You pleaded with the darkness, After you let it in And now here you are. Alive, like you wanted to be. Didn’t you? Is this what you wanted? I just want the voices to stop, To love and be loved in peace. I’ve only ever wanted peace. Try a little harder, For a little longer. Please You can’t give up now. Make it all worth it, I dare you.

I Dare You To Live
I fell in love in springtime, Tripped over myself To have the one thing I thought I never wanted, And yet I wondered What it would be like in the summertime. I loved you in the summer too, With warmth as I hoped I would. Your face covered in freckles Always made me smile. I loved you in the autumn time, Through loss I cried alone. The last of summers warmth left me, But I still had you. I loved you through the winter And we broke both our hearts, But I never stopped, Not even for a second. Still I am yours And I will love you until another spring, Until you come back to me, Until your freckles return Along with my warmth. And when the cold returns The warmth won’t be lost. I’ll hold you close my love When spring returns.

In Springtime
I am sick with weariness, As is all the world. We are sick of you little girl. To watch you cry is our blessing, Your suffering brings us joy. We’d love to see you bleed again. Break your hand once more, We want to watch you crumble. Fade away into the darkness. We wish you’d disappear. Try to leave it all behind again, But try harder this time And maybe you’ll succeed At last. The silence you leave will be blissful, There will be no hole to fill. It will be as if you never were, As it should be. A world without you will be a gift, We hope to watch you burn. Turn to dust And be scattered into nothingness Where you belong.

The World I Leave Behind
I cry alone Because I cannot bear to see you cry And I cannot bear it if you don’t. My pain is mine alone And I will not let you judge me, Dismiss me And belittle me, Or care for me either. I do not want your pity, Or your disdain either. I want peace But I have nothing of the sort. I have my own pain And the loneliness it brings. There is no other way.

The Safety of Loneliness
I am death, Behold the darkness in me. I am nothing And I am everything all at once. Watch my body burn.

I am Death
Close your eyes little girl And scream if it makes you feel Anything at all, Cry if it helps. Feel the air in your lungs And hold it for a while, For as long as you can If it makes you feel alive, If it keeps you here with me. Grind your teeth together And squeeze your eyes shut, If it keeps the demons at bay. Block the world out for a moment And let your breathe escape. One long unbroken sigh. Then let it all back in.

Keep the World at Bay
I’m a little too shy to kiss you when I’m sober And I didn’t know if you’d want me to, So I just glance in your direction From time to time, And see if you look back. I thought I caught you looking But my brain tells me I’m wrong. I have to be wrong, right? And when I woke up next to you I couldn’t help but smile. I’m not smiling anymore. Because silence hurts so much more now And I can’t stop wondering what I did wrong. I liked it, I liked you, I wanted you to like me too.

The Aftermath
I think I'm too broken to be loved. There's not enough of me to give to you, it's all twisted and scarred and you wouldn't want it. I expect to be abandoned and I am used to loneliness, It's bitter taste sits on my tongue as it has always done. You could ask me what's wrong but I'm not even sure anymore. It's the echo of misery in my soul, the imprint it left on me or rather the scar, so many scars to make sure that I don't forget. I can't forget that I'm broken and to tell the truth there's not enough left to love.

Too Broken to be Loved
I stare into the flames and wonder what it would be like to burn, to feel anything at all except for this agonising numbness. My eyes close slowly, my breaths come slowly, as if I could disappear for a while. Take up so little space, separate from the world for a minute and make this feeling go away, make these screaming thoughts stop and allow me a moment of peace.
