Mother
Help her
Don’t you love her
She’s bleeding out
On the bathroom floor
Mother
Hold her
Can’t you see she’s dying
Right there in front of you
Her lungs are shaking
Mother
Tell her
That she’ll be alright
Put pressure on her wounds
Stop the flow
Mother
Help me
I don’t want to die
It’s getting so cold
Please keep me warm
a love letter to my soul
an apology for my heart
the general consensus
that i'm bound to fall apart
i tried to stay together
but i melted through the cracks
i'm sorry i couldn't be strong
but it's too late to take it back
i'm soaked through and invisible
run through your fingers like honey
let me slip on out
and get far away from me
you don't wanna get stuck
trust me i know
just let me remain broken
been better on my own
it's when people like you get involved
that everything goes wrong
i'm not worth the effort apparently
so just keep carrying on
if i was more

i'd be worth it
but i'm not
and that's why you don't care
don't say thats not true
because if i was enough
i wouldn't have to force you to open the door
i wouldn't have to beg you to move the last inch
after i covered the mile
i wouldn't pray to have a chance
if i was more

i wouldn't need to ask for chances
you'd throw them at me
unconditionally
i wish i could be more

but i'm not
and that's why you won't love me
there is a quote from a movie i love
and it talks about being perfectly happy
the main character has completed her arc
she has finished her great journey
and now
she is perfectly happy

perfect happiness

i cannot claim i know of its existence
it might not live in my reality
i think that i am one of those people
who must venture out alone
and might never return
might never finish my journey
never reach perfect happiness
but perhaps i will reach fulfillment
and i think that would be good enough for me
good enough that I may be at peace
at last
