There are
Some of the darkest days ahead
Where you won't even want to see the light
Where you won't even want to see
Or leave your bed
And all you feel is hate
But there are also
So many songs
Laughs
Snowfalls
And so much live for
That I don't feel like giving up just yet
I think that says something

Ever wonder
If the gashes and bruises on her hands weren't from the hard work, but unleashed when she got lost in her self-loathing too close to a wall
Or
If maybe he's not cold, maybe that sweater is hiding the cruelty of the night on a damaged soul
Or
If it wasn't that she has two sports a day that made her so tiny, maybe the words in her childhood tortured her, cutting off her food supply
And
Maybe it wasnt an accident, dispite what he says, that made those splotches where his skin was savagely overheated

I was okay
but then you left.
I'm still okay
but I'm a broken kind of okay.

you were cold
and we didn't know each other
but you taught me how to think
and you taught me how easy it is to think you're in love
because when we were together
there was little to say
because I thought it was already understood
but you didn't understand
and I didn't know that your coldness
was not something I could warm
and I didn't realize that
it would only make me cold too

If you could
crawl into my mind
like your grandmother’s attic
would you?
Would you climb the ladder and
simply shine your flashlight around?
Or would you
open every box?
Inspect every dusty corner?
Every cobweb?
Or are you too scared
of the ghosts that reside there?
The skeletons in the closet?
Don’t worry
they may rattle their bones,
but they’re just trying to say
I’m glad you’re finally here
