Where there used to be a heart.
Full of love and admiration.
Is left a hole.
Dark as night.
Empty as a black hole.
You feed the hole with emotions.
Over time it gets bigger,
and bigger.
Until the Hole isn't just where your heart was.
Now it is your lungs too,
You cant breathe.
The black hole spreads to your head,
And takes over your mind.
You cant think.

A Grin,
Plastered on your face.
Happy.
Or so it seems.
Inside you're breaking down.
Picking out every flaw as you look in the mirror.
A tear.
Rolls down your cheek,
as you reach for the blade.
The blood flows as you cry.
Tomorrow.
The same smile.
nobody knows.
Its the secret you cant keep in,
so you let it out.
It becomes those cuts, burns, and bruises.
Your eyes gleam with the tears that you shed.
They dont know,
That the prettiest eyes shed the most tears.
The prettiest smile,
Has felt the most pain.

You ask me "are you okay?"
"yes" I reply.
but cant you tell that deep down its a lie?
The pressure is building up inside my head,
Sometimes I really wish,
I was dead.

These are not just scars.
These are the countless demons,
Hurtful words,
And emotions she keeps chained inside.
