The world will find you and make you see it
Even when you turn your head away
Scared to see what it may hold
Scared of all the things you do not know
And yet the world turns your head and pushes your eyes open
Not allowing you the sweet surrender of ignorance

You made me love the rain
and then you left me
to walk in it alone.

Your stomach is 10 ft underground and you feel like throwing up
You notice your palms are clammy and a drop of sweat slowly slips down your arm
You’ve already bitten at 8 of your 10 nails that you were immensely proud of growing out
And three of your fingertips have dried blood following the curvature of your fingers
You start tapping your feet, tapping your hands in an effort to remain calm
Waiting for the answer you slowly unravel and lose the twine

He wasn't used to this type of person
She was ****** and unamused
Always catching him at his lowest to bring him high again
Throughout it all he knew
He would fall in love but he couldn't keep her

Insincere apologies
Halfhearted I love you's
What has happened to us?
Who knew this love would die out so quickly
Without our permission we withdrew from that love
So quickly fall turned to winter
And spring to summer
It all happened so quickly
How could a year pass?
A year and you still reign in my mind, relentless

When I leave you
And when you leave me
We say our goodbyes
Except there's still that one thing poking through my head
That I know I can't let go
Not just yet
Just before you turn away
I feel myself want to say
"I love you"
Yet I know we're not ready
But it's also something I need to say

Life is about the edges
Where something stops
And another begins
Sharp or rounded they'll teach you
Many lessons
They may bruise you but
Never let them break you
You are stronger than those edges
Round or sharp
Doesn't matter
They can't keep you from breathing
From your heart beating alone in the silence
From your mind pricking at the edges
Just to see

Break your back
Rip apart your ribs
Scream until you cough blood
What are you looking for?
Maybe that one thing
You can call your own
You may never find it
But keep searching for
Your heart
It might be in there somewhere

The first cut shallow and pained
Slicing the skin on my wrist in two
Deep red emerges in a thin line
The next cut, deeper with more emotion
The tears that started two hours before
Continue to ebb and flow
Leaving tracks of mascara smearing as I wipe the stain away
The next cut breaks deeper
The skin on my back and arms raise as gooseflesh
Maybe a moan maybe a cry seeps from my teeth
A hot trickle of blood rains from the cut
Pouring down into the empty hole of the sink
A sting of water wakes me from the trance as I stare at the razor which blemished my skin
I keep telling myself, one more, one more, one more...
And walking away from the bathroom and the blood
To find myself wandering in again to clutch the razor and bring it to my skin

Breathing hot air on my skin
Sweat droplets race
Tangling legs splay across the white sheets
Searching hands grab for a hold
Nails sink into raised skin
Keeping your attention on where it needs to be
Eyelids flutter with in the intensity of a fleeting moment
Blushed faces and chests rising and falling chaotically
Body weight looming over me
Your eyes searching mine
And I know you burn for me
