When you walked away
You made a mess of everything inside me
Broke my fractured heart
Into a million little pieces
Left without even having the
Strength to say goodbye to me
Now I have to find the strength
To go on without you
Standing by my side

You walked away from us
Gave away everything we had
With the way things ended
Well I guess I should be glad

When you walked away
From everything we had
Everything we were
You messed up all that we could’ve been
Broke everything we built up
Guess it all meant nothing to you
Being in a committed relationship
Must’ve been really scary for you

You walked away from us
Gave away everything we had
With the way things ended
Well I guess I should be glad

I guess you never really cared
Not about me or us
You ran away from
Commitment and love and
Feeling anything at all
One day you’ll change
Become better
I won’t be waiting for you anymore
I’ll have already been long gone

You walked away from me
Took away everything I
Thought we could be
Should’ve known you were going to be
Just another disappointment to me

Erica drowns the
Sorrows of her
Horrible life
In alcohol and
Severa vicious  forms of
Self-mutilation
Such as


Erica jabs sharp objects  
Into soft parts of her skin
Just to watch
uncried red tears
gush out of a
Body too broken to still be here

Despite her hardships,
Multiple suicide attempts
Such as tying a noose around
Her scrawny little neck or
Pulling  the trigger
She refuses to admit depression

When she’s really low
She smokes,
Pops pills
Does everything she can
Just to get high

Her life is a nightmare,
Death no longer an option
It’s cheated her out of the
Happiness of the end too many times
Not even the devil could
Salvage her lost soul

What do you care
That I’ve got nothing to lose?
Nothing and no one precious enough
To want to hold on to?

What do you care
If I disappear
Never made a mark on this world
Just left the same
Broken,
Meaningless
Way I arrived here?

What would you think
If I said nothing at all
Just left you and this place
With no warning at all?

Would you care if I disappear?
Don’t you know that there’s
Hardly anything left for me here?
All I have left is everything
That I pretend is real

Don’t you know how
Much I care?
But not even
This happy feeling
Could keep me holding
Onto the life I have here

Don’t you know
Just how I feel
You’re the last thing
I have to hold on to-
here

Don’t you understand
All the pain I’m in
I can’t stand this
Horribly sad
World we’re living in


I just want this world
To disappear around me
Have everyone go away
I don’t want to be here anymore
I wish these could be the last words I say
Maybe I can hold onto you
Wait until I’m worse off- maybe
Maybe die another day

Once we had something
Something special
Then we ended up
Falling apart
Trying to find our way back together

After all this time
We've ended up here
Back at the beginning


Here we are
Back in love
Back to us
Yet nothing's changed
We're still the same people

Back to broken
In such a short time
Here we are
Hurt again
This is it
We've reached the end

In the black of night
As hell races on
Youre the first thing
On my fragile heart

This is for you
The one who saved me
I love what youve done
How you make me
Fall in love
all over again

Roses are red
Violets are blue
This is my poem
It's all for you

You are my achilles heel
A man after my own heart
Your love is my drug
It caught me off guard
Now my heart is yours
Forever and always

This is the calm before the storm
The day before the night
We have each other
So let's enjoy this moment

Winner take all
So take my heart it's yours to keep
As long as you don't let me fall

Sitting here all alone
Waiting for somneone
To be there for me
Tell me they care about me

I'm so scared
That I'll be forever alone
Useless, worthless
Thast's all I'll ever be
Maybe you'll care for the
Ghost of me

On the verge
Edge of my
Thin line of sanity
Silently crumbling
Fading to grey

Silly me
Thinking this could work
Someone could care
I could be happy
Silly me actually believing
Someone could want me
