I want you to l e a v e But need you to s t a y. You make me so god damn a n g r y sometimes. I just want for us to be h a p p y again. I guess I don't know if we c a n. **** I c a n' t do this anymore. I l o v e you, baby, But I h a t e myself when I'm with you. This isn't w o r k i n g. I think we're b r o k e n beyond repair.

You Can't Play on Broken Strings
Honestly, Slashing my wrists Would be more fun than this.

you looked at me and i forgot how to breathe me in like you're suffocating and i am made of air just doesn't seem necessary without you were the best thing that ever happened to me without you is completely meaningless was my life before you walked in came the love and with it came pain is inevitable but i thought we were too much pain, too much fighting, too much stress does not a healthy relationship make me remember why i fell in love me like there's no tomorrow i'm afraid i'll wake up and you won't be there is never a right time to say goodbyes are hard and i refuse to let you leave now and i swear you will never see me again. i love you but i swear to god you will never see me again i let you in my doors never stay shut for long periods without you make my skin crawl away but you'll always come back to me without you is completely meaningless is this stop-and-go cycle of back and fourth time's the charm, right? wrong. i need you but i know you're bad for me without you is becoming a possibilities are endless and i think i will be okay is nice but passion is better without you and better for it will be okay, i promise me forever and proceed to walk away with with you, away with the memories hurt me more than you ever did you really love me or was it just a games are fun but i need something serious relationships are hard and neither of us are to blame me and i'll blame you will always be the one who got away with you, away with missing you hurts me more than you ever did. so. much. goodbyes are hard but i'm forcing you to leave now and maybe it will hurt less is more when it comes to you and me without you is exactly what we need.

It Hurts and Feels Good at the Same Time

They say we leave fingerprints on the lives we touch. I have been scrubbing at my skin for the past eight months trying to erase yours, but now matter how hard I scrub, I can still feel you as if you were still here.

Fingerprints
You told me once that you worried more about other people than yourself. You worried so much it made you sick. It kept you up at night wondering, but mostly hoping, that those you loved would be okay. It took me a while to understand this, but now, now I think I do. You loved people with everything you had, and that is harder for me than it ever was for you. But I found someone that I worry about more than I worry about myself. And, god, it makes me sick. It keeps me up at night wondering, but mostly hoping, that he will be okay. I just really need him to be okay.

You're a solid nine. But seven ate nine. I guess that makes you a ten, then.

Numerical Scale
You envelope me in your big, strong arms, Coax me into staying in bed just one more day. "You don't need to go to class," you tell me. So I don't. I know that I should go, That I should want to go, But your grip is so tight that I can barely breathe. You are the dominant one in this relationship. I think I tried to fight it at first, But this has been going on for so long that Somewhere along the way I stopped trying. I stopped fighting And let you take me over. Sometimes I don't know where you end and where I begin. You and I are so intertwined. I would love to experience life without you, But I don't think I would know how to. Unlike everyone else who has come and gone like the tide, You've stuck around. You're the only constant I've ever known. I guess I should thank you for that.

Dear Depression
I love you when I'm high. Sober me isn't a fan. Then again, I don't really like anything when I'm sober. Don't take it personally.

High-Flying
Sometimes your arms feel like home, They hold me tight, your hands Stroking the back of my head, Reassuring me that, yes, I am okay and, yes, Everything will be okay Because you are here, So there's nothing to fear, And I couldn't possibly feel safer. But sometimes your arms feel like a cage. There's just enough air for me to breathe, But I am trapped in your fierce, unwanted grip. I'm sorry that I don't feel like sharing a bed After I told you I was depressed and you Told me to stop freaking out and calling you. I'm sorry that your words hit me like a tidal wave And brought me to the bathroom With a knife in my hand. I'm sorry that one, two, three, four cuts later, I was bleeding out on the floor, Practically unconscious, but awake enough To see the growing pool of red. You're sorry I resorted to harming myself. I'm sorry that I didn't finish the job. I grew up thinking that love, only love, Could save me from myself, but maybe I was wrong. Maybe love is the thing I need to be saved from. Maybe love is the real monster here. Every story has a villain. I just never imagined that you'd be mine.

You're Not Who I Thought You Were
Her skin was cold as ice And pale as winter snow. She tried to make it right, But it was time to go. How do you say goodbye To everything you know? She really did try, But it was time to go. Don't waste your prayers on the dead. The living need them more. Close your eyes and bow your head. She spreads her wings and soars. Like an angel she flew, Said farewell to the world below. Left everyone that she knew Because it was time to go.
