American Well. I would tell my life story, but I'd really rather not. :/ But if you have any questions, I'd be more than happy to answer them, depending on their context of course.
Butterfly, whose wings are bent and broken, Your once beautiful colors now faded and dull. You lie there, weighed down by words unspoken, Eyes vacant and empty, but heart so, so full. Little butterfly, a wreck on the floor, You can't pick yourself up, not alone. You need someone to help, someone to open the door, Someone to fix your wings and take you home. Fragile butterfly, scared to be left in the dark, To be left with the urge to bleed. You want a lovely little mark, The only sign of your coveted need.

Butterfly
I want to look pretty for you, Even if you don't show. I want to look pretty for you, Just so you know. I want to be perfect for you, You know I try so hard. I want to be perfect for you, But I'm so scarred.. These words are true, They come from the heart. These words are true, Listen please, to every part. I know you love me, You show it in many ways. I know you love me, But I hate the movies my mind plays...

For You
Swollen knuckles and Bruised up shoulders, It hurts me to see him hurt; Especially with everything He has to go through. His eyes are always shadowed With pain and anger. He is a Ghost of red, Living a life of Blood. He is one of 'mine' And the way he lives scares me, Makes me afraid for him. He fights With others and himself. I know him well enough To know when something's wrong. Even when he denies it, I see right through the "I'm fine." He's never really happy; Rarely does he smile. It breaks my heart To watch him suffer. I do my best to help But it's not quite enough. It's so unfair For him to deal with all this, Because he's such a good person Regardless of the things he's done. The reasons justify his actions; He does what he believes is right. I can tell when he feels Even a little overwhelmed Cuz I know his signs of stress. He's a person who's got your back; He'll be there for you if you need him. You can trust him And count on him to keep his word. He's one of the best people you could know. He is Vinny.

Vinny
I say goodbye to my heart As it gets torn apart. All the pieces go to him. I hope he'll put them together again. I'll wait for him as long as I need Because it is for him that I bleed.

Pretty Please
Looking at it makes me sad And I don't know why. Chills from thoughts of what I had; I almost want to cry. But I'm forcing myself to be strong, And to focus on the light. Though I don't really belong, I will win this fight. I'll hold back the tears And keep my head high. I'll push away the fears And one day I will fly.

Hope
Dusty shadows, Darkened windows, Watching cars go by In the dead of night. Deadbolt locked To haunting thoughts, Staring off to space, With an expressionless face. None of what's inside shows, Even though an inner storm blows. Just watching the rain Slide down the window pane. Dreary, wet, and cold, Waiting for someone to hold. Searching for the warm light That will bring back life.

The Usual Lies
I will never let you see Just how badly you hurt me. I wanted to be with you forever, But now I see that it will be never. I still love you so **** much, But I have to give you up. I'm making myself move on Cuz there's no point in holding on. I feel like you didn't care; Like half the time you weren't there. Losing you really broke me. The memories are choking. I know I lost you to her, And the fact that you lied just burns. So with these last words I'll say goodbye. And resist the urge to curl up and cry.
