Buried Words Jan 2019
Red
The colour of love,
Yet the colour of death.

The colour of your lips,
Leaning in to love me.

The colour of the liquid,
That drips from the wounds.
And the colour of the pills that took your life.
Buried Words Jan 2019
If I left today,
Leaving behind my name and a memory.
Like a useless object,
No one would notice if it was here or gone.

Worthless, Ugly, Unworthy.
Those were your words to describe me.
Your words put me in this position.

Deciding between black or white,
Or
Deciding between life and death.
Life and death seems the easier option.

I feel unlovable,
This state of being is depressing.
Maybe people will understand.

Why would anyone even care about understanding.

You fold me into what you want me to be.
And I can't do anything about it.
You cut, you fold and you rip.
Over and over,
Until I am what you've always imagined.
Buried Words Jan 2019
Hiding my true self under my warm, broken flesh,
Looking in a mirror and seeing a figure looking back.
Nobody knows me.

Fake smiles,
Fake laughs,
Being okay so no questions are asked.
Yet all I want to do is release this pain,
Eating me from the inside, out.

A cut a day,
Keeps the demons at bay....
Buried Words Jan 2019
I bet you never think of me,
And I never cross your mind.
I bet you when I call you,
All you want to do is hide.
You tell me that you love me,
But what if its not true.
Even when you lied to me,
I kept loving you.
Buried Words Jan 2019
You feel hopeless,
Those days you don't even feel like breathing.
Energy lacking,
Head hurting,
Eyes closing.
Never wanting to re-open.
The darkness is calling and you're trying to answer.
Yet something keeps pulling you back.
